It's a long shot but Bluesky is as good a place as any for this: does anyone have a ticket they can't use for the Zeteo launch at the Barbican tmrw? I will buy it off you if so (I have one, I just want to take my kid).

All the studies show that if the resources are provided, it costs less than the cruel option.
A.R. Moxon@juliusgoat.bsky.social · 2w agoIf you object to public-funded housing of homeless people, in the end the objection cannot be the cost, because we pay a premium to be cruel to homeless people. At the bottom of the objection will always sit dehumanizing cruelty and a desire for eradication.
Great film for introducing the idea of circular reasoning to the kids

HEY THIS IS JUST A PAINTING OF A THEATER SHOWING COYOTE VS. ACME
Yep, 3 episodes of Autistic comedy and this 4th ep is where we have a lot of Apraxic Autistics explore their feelings & sense of self (they always but an accurate Content Warning at the start) … big character development ep on @sararoseg.bsky.social’s always excellent sitcom “It’s a Superpower??”
Claire@crystalclairenight.bsky.social · last mo.@thedailytism.com The newest episode of It's A Superpower? started off with a note about emotional honesty and vulnerability being a plot element. I wasn't prepared for an autism coded representation of emotional expression. I can't even pinpoint how it was different but it connected with me hard.
sad girl at the coffee shop- you can fix her, dude, trust me. get really invested in that.
JESUS. You’d have thought the park around the corner were on fire with the shoutiness of this alert. I’m going to start getting very annoyed about this blaming of individuals setting up BBQs (which they obviously shouldn’t!) as a distraction from oil companies’ decades of greed. Send 🚨 about that.
Did my phone just beep? What now, I'm busy trying to get this disposable barbecue going
Well, I just nearly shat myself, anyone else? #bbq #tinkeringaroundtheedges
Every few months people are like “Is BlueSky dying” and every few months it doesn’t fucking matter because who gives a shit
If Bluesky was really as dead as they say, could I do THIS?? (okay I am going to need this to do big numbers)
