We've had cats & dogs so far, which is GREAT, but if anyone has any other pets (Farm Guys, Bird Guys, Scaly Guys, Squeaky Guys, Pond Guys) I would love to see them. If any of you work with animals, we will gladly accept Prehistoric Megafauna, Tree-Dwelling Freaks, Local Menaces and 'Basically Dogs'

We are slowly but surely covering the episodes of Autistic People Oversharing sponsorship. If you’d like to make the next season of the show happen, for £50, we will gush about your pet or pets for a whole 1-minute ad segment. Email Advertising at thedailytism dot com for details!

oi buy my books and watch my sketches and listen to my audio comedies. I think they're funny but then, I would. OK thanks bye x

Hello new people! If you like words I write, BOY HOWDY HEY do I have good news for you, bc I write words a LOT, and many of the things I write are free for you to enjoy at point of use - or otherwise pretty cheap to buy. BEHOLD! A SELF PROMOTION THREAD! (might pin this)

The advertising also allows us to pay our guests an appearance fee as we feel strongly about always paying writers and performers for their work & will always do so. If you’re interested, email advertising at thedailytism dot com 3/

With that in mind, we are seeking a sponsor for season 3! It’s the most affordable way to advertise with us & it reaches an audience of super engaged autistic folks. We do bespoke ads for ventures that are the right fit & we love championing artists & small businesses. 2/

Some news: Autistic Women Oversharing is rebranding to Autistic People Oversharing. The premise was always that it’s our writers room on the show & people we work with. Our team has expanded beyond the 3 women it started with & we want our non-binary pals to be able to be included. And Guy Kelly.

Aw man, not the Gal Gadot Bitcoin movie! I was so excited for the Gal Gadot Bitcoin movie!

Gal Gadot defends starring in the ‘Bitcoin’ movie which features AI sets and lighting: “I did not want AI to have anything to do with my performance. We had to protect that […] The train has left the station. You’re going to work with it or be out of the game completely.”

Imagine a world where the neurotypicals were… uh… um… even more in charge?? Chapter Six of It’s a Superpower?? is out now and contains the silliest parody ABBA medley ever written, a @watsoncomedian.bsky.social crossover and SO MUCH CUSTARD!

Do you have any idea how many times I've wished to Freaky Friday some autism into an obnoxious neurotypical person? That bit was brilliant, but it's not even the most cathartic bit of this episode (fuckin' get their asses, Fetus!). This show keeps getting better and better

This week’s It’s a Superpower?? contains one of our fave @frasergeesin.bsky.social illustrations, the prettiest singing you’ll ever hear & a young upstart called @pattonoswalt.bsky.social playing a talking hamster named Herbert. thedailytism.com/itsasuperpow...

"They want the marketing value of diversity in the 2020s. They want no one to accuse them of being bigoted. They want the self-congratulatory pat on the back: 'we did an autistic show this year!' They want to capitalize on a trend." 🔥 @sarahamero.bsky.social Fuckin PREACH

RE: improv (special interest, definitely not expertise!) You will never be done seeing all the different forms it can take in terms of tone, pacing, genre, format etc. Even if you think you currently have an expansive view of it as an art form, there is always more beyond our scope of what it can be

Riley Bruce@rileybruce.bsky.social · 3w ago

What’s a thing from your area of expertise (or special interest) that you think it would behoove everyone else to know?

Pretty sure this means I can jack my session fee up exponentially

Sara Gibbs@sararoseg.bsky.social · 3w ago

@sarahamero.bsky.social switching into entirely different personas and voices right in front of my eyes is a thing I will never forget. Like watching magic happen. The only comparable things I’ve witnessed in person are Jan Ravens & Dan Castellaneta respectively

Yeah, whatever. I get credited alongside Penn Jillette all the time. No big deal

Plenty to reflect about re: the Arday affair, but I'm going to repeat this one thing. The playbook the right used here is effective even though it's not especially sophisticated, as it relies on the audience to do the dirty work. I've been calling it "Trojan horse propaganda", let's go with that. 1/

And the full link is as brutal as the graphic.

Jason Arday told the press he was at his limit. It answered with 188 more articles. He is dead at 41.

A full census of the 249 articles fifteen national outlets published about Jason Arday in 22 days, with the last day reconstructed hour by hour. Every article listed and linked.

You know how I keep saying the Times paywall is basically a rattling trapdoor over the demon realm? Well

A lovely chat with my gals @sarahamero.bsky.social & @harelockwood.com about how we made It’s a Superpower??, our thoughts about own-voices sitcoms and why niche audiences are GOOD actually!

The Daily Tism@thedailytism.com · 3w ago

Surprise! An Autistic Women Oversharing special all about the making of It’s a Superpower?? just in time for your Sunday. Bung it in your brain!

This! We're overjoyed to see people inspired by TDT, but we are not accepting submissions and that does also include anything you pitch to us in an informal space. And please value your time and work, writers - we receive many offers of unpaid labour, which is not in our policy to take on.

Hare Lockwood@harelockwood.com · 3w ago

I've seen this a bit more recently, so it bears repeating: if you publicly pitch us an idea for a Daily Tism article then you're *guaranteeing* we cannot use it. So, er, please don't do that.

🥺

Sara Gibbs@sararoseg.bsky.social · 3w ago

Sarah as a director is such a wonder to behold. She brings so much warmth and insight and holds space for people in the most generous and encouraging way. I’d follow her anywhere! Hire @sarahamero.bsky.social to direct things!!!

This has been front of mind for me recently, not just because of this show, but because of spending time with people who've spent much of their working lives grinding away in their careers, in the vain hope that people will finally stop overlooking them

Sara Gibbs@sararoseg.bsky.social · 4w ago

The men get a lot of love in this show & they absolutely deserve it but I just want to spotlight that this show was primarily made by women. Woman head writer, co-producers & directors, a predominantly female writing team & characters. I don’t know why it feels important to say but it does.

Absolutely lovely review of It’s a Superpower?? Chapters one and two on Scifi Pulse, with particular love for our amazing actors! 🥰🥰🥰

I’d forgotten that this episode includes the most unhinged laugh I have ever unhingedly laughed (maniacal level pushed up to 11 by excellent direction from @sarahamero.bsky.social, on top of @sararoseg.bsky.social’s fantastic scripts).

Happy album launch day to our very own Horb!! We’ve had a sneak preview and it’s bloody brilliant and deserves to be widely listened to. Also “widely” just autocorrected to Wilder. Anyway BUY THIS IT IS GOOD
