Got T (6) an inflatable flamingo for the pool in Bosnia. Not only is it currently being cuddled in bed, but it has made him decide he likes flamingoes now. I asked if he didn’t like flamingoes before and he said “No. They mainly just balance and that gets quite boring”

A few months ago this white man went on a rampage in London with a sword. He brutally murdered this child & seriously injured both members of the public & police officers trying to help. Strangely, the right wing thugs didn't riot to protect this English child. I wonder why...

Literally 3 months ago, a white man fatally killed a young black boy with a sword. Did the whole of the UK erupt into riots because of this? Why not? Because WE understand that this one white man does not represent ALL white people. Some are good, some are bad. Just like EVERY

You should correct ‘counter protesters,’ Sky News. These individuals are legitimate law-abiding protesters. The other lot they’re ‘countering’ aren’t protesters. They’re drunk, looting shops, attacking police officers, trying to burn people alive, attacking places of worship and

So proud that the anti fascist marches last night were so big and managed to go off without any police or members of the public being injured. One group getting punished for arson and assault and another not getting punished for behaving legally isn’t “two tier policing”

Police arrest 22 peaceful climate protesters AT ONCE just for PLANNING an encampment - while race riots spread across the UK. HERE IS YOUR TWO-TIER POLICING #TwoTierKeir #UKriots thecanary.co/uk/analysis/20…

Loading the car at Center Parcs UK Elveden this morning and heard some very aggressive, panicked cawing from above me, followed by an explosion of Wood Pigeons from the canopy. I kept scanning the sky and there she was - hurtling after one of the crows between the trees - Goshawk!

“She doesn’t think she has EUPD” “They never do. It’s almost diagnostic” “You’ve got EUPD” “No I don’t” …

Whether or not a socially constructed category “exists” is a pretty silly hill to die on. What would it mean for autism to exist? “It’s just a made up label” like ok but. We are using words, so… Generously, what this person seems to be trying to say is something more like /

“People to whom the label ‘autistic’ applies are just humans with specific traits, but all humans have traits, so it’s silly to identify a subset of them based on specific traits.” But even this argument is rooted in basic confusion about classification and ontology.

Myk - 🇺🇦🌻🇵🇸🍉 - Here To Help (@mykola) 's Twitter Profile Photo

“Autism” exists as long as anyone finds it helpful to refer to a subset of humans with those specific traits. It’s a word. A pointer to a concept. “Everyone is somewhere on this spectrum” doesn’t negate the idea that some people are in *this* region of this spectrum.

HUGE political focus needed to provide for ill & dying rather than laws to sweep us away😳The more you know about how doctors could aid suicide the less “liberal” it looks🫢Hospices crying out for funding while politicians discuss“legal” solutions to end lives 🩺🏥💔
