Scott Bryan@scottygb.bsky.social · last wk.Channel 4 has announced documentary “The Great ADHD Myth?” It “seeks to determine whether ADHD is a genuine neurodevelopmental disorder, or a social construct.”
Diana Rose was a pioneer, fighting her way into a hostile academia, that resisted lived experience and working class voices, especially of women. Many people have opportunities now because of what she did. We honour her by continuing to fight.

Worst advice ever

BladeoftheSun@bladeofthes.bsky.social · 3mo agoHilarious video that shows none of the Reform voters know any of Reform's policies.
What does Reform actually want? To lower the Minimum Wage. Get rid of the NHS and replace with US Health Insurance. Cut Benefits by at least 30%, which will have to be all of them, including State Pension, Child Benefit and Tax Credit. And much more, and it's all terrible.
“she cannot tell us what is going on with her, why she is so impulsive and lacking in self-protection, and why she views us as frightening and intrusive rather than as people who can help her” I dunno my dude, I think you answered your own question when you blamed the rape survivor for her own rape

I hate how the gov report actually says "the increase is due to many different factors and there's no single narrative" and yet here are the journalists filtering it through a single narrative
Forty years ago, on this day (Mar 17) in 1986, I stood on the bridge of the Starship Enterprise-A at Stage 9 at Paramount for the ending scene of Star Trek IV. James Doohan asked me if I'd made all the control panels green in honor of St. Patrick's Day. I still regret not saying, "Yes!"
