To all my distractable, neurodiverse chaos muppets out there: may you baffle the secret police who have to write reports on you by living your best ratbag life like Karl Marx did.

Neurosexism: autistic women, girls and non-binary people are not just ‘better at masking’. Our distress is misinterpreted and our symptoms dismissed, unless they are unavoidably obvious- and when they are that obvious, we are as likely to be punished as we are to be helped.

“I’m supposed to reassure you with an upbeat tale of self-acceptance. Instead I’m going to make things awkward and tell the truth.” #ActuallyAutistic observer.co.uk/news/first-p...

This piece - about the consequences of coming out is autistic- is very important to me. I hope people find it useful. observer.co.uk/news/first-per…

Why ‘woke’ is just a right-wing fetish. (Please stop recruiting me into your persecution fantasy, thank you). New Sunday essay:

Come on, Elon. Say you stole it. Spill it all. You know you want to. So much attention. You can do it.

Good for them.

I hope that our few remaining friends give up on trying to save us

Yael van der Wouden has won the #womensprize for fiction- and uses her speech to come out as intersex, shout out to trans activists and acknowledge her queer and trans community. Amazing.

In the first scene of 28 Days Later, a helpless chimp is strapped to a table and forced to watch doomreels of ultraviolence until it loses its little monkey mind and eats @davisschneider. This is a universally relatable image. New essay up now: open.substack.com/pub/lauriepenn…

A transgender teenager won a German chess tournament, and now some numpties are calling for a ban on trans girls in women's chess. What does this have to do with fairness? Can anyone give me an answer that doesn't assume women and girls are less intelligent than men?
