I am interested in neurodivergent theologies and found a bunch of people on here to follow. I decided to turn that into a starter pack. Please suggest additions: i'm sure there are plenty of people I don't know about, plus many others like me joining the current Xodus wave.

Those living British values (of Peterloo,unions,abolitionists,chartists,suffragettes) aren’t insecurely declaring their Britishness. They’re too busy organising against his ‘middle-ground-btwn-fascism-&-anti-fascism’ govt.
Btw it wasn’t the left betraying the public, lobbying to save banker bonuses.

Keir Starmer attacks the racism of Reform and Matt Goodwin but then adds that "Britain has also been let down by a mindset on the left of politics that is too slow to defend core British values"

Two thirds of UCU staff walk out. I worked for UCU two decades ago. In fact I ran for General Secretary and just lost. There is no way two thirds of the staff would walk out if the story of victimisation isnt true. My sources say its been coming for years.

One of the dangers of normalization therapies like ABA (Applied Behavioral Analysis) is that they can interfere with parents knowing what their autistic kids’ legitimate likes and dislikes—and even personalities—are.

The North East is no stranger to the @teamlabouruk.bsky.social hierarchy blocking local parties choosing the best candidate (Hartlepool, North Durham, regional mayor).
Though, by blocking Burnham, McSweeney et al may've given @greenparty.org.uk the boost they need in the two-horse race with Reform.

Burnham should not be surprised he was blocked from being an MP - Jamie Driscoll has got the t-shirt
Driscoll knows Burnham - and was transpired today was always going to happen with Labour as it is. Maybe he should join the Greens?

Mainstream Christian teaching is an oxymoron. We follow an executed subversive (who, our canon says, pissed off ALL the power structures and undermined all the normativities) & our symbol is the method of his execution (a method that was only used for subversives and disobedient enslaved people)
If “mainstream Christian teaching” involves psychological torture it should be criminalised and those practicing it jailed whether clergy or not.
An open letter to the Government warning that its plans for a “full, trans-inclusive ban on conversion practices” could “criminalise mainstream, historic Christian teaching on marriage and sexual ethics, and make sharing the Gospel with some people illegal” has more than 5000 signatories.
