this is a 1996 guide on how to help someone use a computer. it’s strikingly resonant with ‘how to be a parent’, or really ‘how to help anyone with anything’. a nice example of “the universal within the particular”

Still hearing “they can’t be autistic—they’re too empathic.” Please stop. Read Damian Milton on the ‘double empathy problem’ and, more importantly, listen to the autistic community. Empathy isn’t one-way, and neither is humanity.

I have been in Srebrenica marking 30 years since the Bosnian Genocide. There were many international failings that allowed it to happen. Today eyes are rightly on Gaza It doesn't start with Genocide - it starts with political leaders convincing people neighbours are strangers

I'm actually supremely indifferent to how the law defines women. As I keep saying woman is a social construct. I'm bothered by what the law now tacitly or overtly legitimates which is the harassment of trans and gender non conform people and enforcement of gender stereotypes

An important nuance that I see a lot of people missing, expressed well in this thread

if you can’t use public toilets, then you can’t leave the house for more than 3 hours. if you can’t use work toilets, you can’t work outside the home. if you have power over a public toilet in your workplace, you need to be wielding it right now to secure it for trans people

Blatant misogyny lies at the heart of the so-called gender-critical movement. I say this because its entire belief of what it means to be a woman is built on outdated tropes and shifting sands. // Mhairi Black

Biological essentialism is the antithesis of feminism. It has never served the interests of women- even those who are wealthy, white and heterosexual.

@speakoutsister I’ve found that outside of twitter the majority of people have either been disinterested in the whole ‘debate’ and/or oblivious to the consequencess. But yesterday I met dozens of people, mainly cis women, shocked and angry at what’s happened. Nobody likes bullies

The point of the daily constant psychological attacks from this admin (just like his 1st term) is to trigger crisis/trauma responses so much, so often, so early that your mind and body just gives up and they can do whatever

Very sad but well written article about the dangers of mental health services in the UK “Nobody could help me with my psychosis. Then I was sent to jail for holding up a shop with a toy gun” theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2…

As someone training to be a therapist I think about this often... Therapy as an institution has been shaped by/ born from capitalism and colonialism. It's a poor replacement for things typical to indigenous life (community, elders, connection to body and land, griefwork etc)

The greatest fantasy world wasn't made by J K Rowling or George R R Martin, or even Tolkein. It was made by Terry Pratchett. It's only the fact that no one has ever made a decent screen adaption of Discworld that more people don't think so.
