Only 3 in 10 autistic people are in any form of employment in the UK.
I'm hard-stuck as one of the other 7, I get the odd placement but not enough to support myself.
This is the only time I'll e-beg this year, but if I can build up to writing albums and playing shows, I'll love you forever.

It's truly remarkable how there will be news organizations and journalists who correctly identify that RFK is a menace and that HHS can't e trusted when he pushes stuff about vaccines or Tylenol causing autism... but cover the anti-trans stuff like "Well, HHS says so, and we should trust HHS!"
Trans youth healthcare is based in decades of research and supported by every major medical organization in the US. Under RFK Jr, a handpicked panel produced a dodgy report claiming otherwise.
It's a clear example of Kennedy's war on science. So why aren't news organizations treating it that way?

People are so dismissive of Avatar but is it really less worthy than, say, the Fast and Furious movies? Or Marvel, God forbid?
i don’t think everyone needs to like every film but the way people refuse to even take the avatar series seriously in any capacity feels so performative in a way no other series has ever been treated, very odd to me

This and the discussion about how academics can now just read AI summaries of things really drives home how much these guys always confuse the product for the goal. You don't do a coloring sheet because you want to have a colored sheet at the end!!! The coloring is the point!!!

One year ago I said that Elphaba was a Leftist and Glinda was a Lib and Wicked 2 Good 2 Furious reminded me how 99% right that assessment was.
The 1% was the new song about how America is sliding into facism but it's still worth saving we promise!!!!!

I performed two sets last week. I did enough of a good job at the first one that someone in the audience invited me to another. So basically the UK culture industry is condemning itself to irrelevancy by not giving me twenty thousand money to record an album.

Some say Yglesias Thought has never been tried, but Labour has actually tried quite hard to chase the polling rather than shape it. And just look at how well that’s turned out for them
Immigration salience has less to do with aggregate Immigration numbers than
- visibility of boats & asylum > visas
- general vibes about integration
- elite cues from media & political discourse in shaping public perceptions
This is more true when immigration is falling then when it is rising

KOSA has been defeated several times already and they keep trying over and over until the one time it goes through, at which point it becomes everyone's problem. It will be an unmitigated disaster if this passes and they say, well, sorry, now it's the law. Make sure your creature votes No on this.
Hey romancelandia and fandom peeps! If you live in the U.S. right now you should know that KOSA (along with a slew of censorship bills) are advancing through congress right now. If you care about spicy books and/or fanfiction you should contact your reps right now and tell them to vote NO on KOSA!

Bluntly, Section 230 is almost literally the law that the entire internet rests upon, it makes it possible for user generated content to exist on the internet, it’s incredibly important, and genuinely we must defend it at all costs. This place literally would not exist without it.
