A pretty novel form of psychic damage is losing your news media job, having your entire portfolio of work wiped from the Internet, only for it to then be resurrected without your consent to promote an AI slop factory scam! Find out more about this headache here 👇

Remember the National? The short-lived news service for Wales closed in 2022, but last month the title was "relaunched" at the same web address, declaring itself: "Independent. Trusted. Unapologetically Welsh." That tagline, and everything else about the site, was a sham...

🧠 “Everyone’s experience of neurodivergence is valid wherever they fall on the spectrum, in the same way as everyone’s right to identify as queer should be respected, regardless of what kind of relationship they are in or how they present” - Diffwys Criafol www.wearequeeraf.com/what-can-we-...

What can we learn from ‘neuroqueer’ theory?

Increasing rates of neurodiversity are no more a trend than the higher proportion of people coming out - but there are some parallels between neurodiversity and queerness

Yes, the interview was originally published as an edited transcript in 2018, long before Wendy Larner had applied her views to Cardiff University. The document linked to in the VC’s all-staff email on Thursday was the final proofs doc, ie after peer review and the VC’s own subsequent edits.

This is horrifying. Wendy Larner used to write about poverty, race, gender & globalisation. She co-edited a book in 2010 called *The Point Is To Change It*. Then she became Management... onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Cardiff Uni VC Wendy Larner implies “things like poverty have a genetic explanation”.
