I'm appalled to see newspapers use my name as 'widely-tipped' for a job I'd never seek. Swans come in Domestic, Mute, and Tame and no swan-upper's going to nick my beak

Big inhale--hold it!--...and SIGH. Autism is not a disease, it is a neurotype. It may have been first documented in the 20th century, but it's probably existed forever. Being weird isn't a crime, and just b/c ppl aren't like you doesn't make them ill or broken. Being treated like trash does.

I waited years, paid taxes, paid into the NHS and spent thousands to get permanent #leavetoremain. And this frog-man can just take it away if he's elected b/c he's jealous of ICE? How does that work? Do I get a refund? So naive to think it could never get as bad as 🇺🇸 here. Cherishing my 🇨🇦 passport.
