First essay for public law done and stressed that I’ve not followed the instructions right. Knowledge isn’t an issue but new/unknown structure freaks me out. Well I guess I will just have to wait now and focus on getting my contract law essay done.

I honestly can’t stand people saying to me being autistic is a superpower or that most dyslexics have better grammar/spelling than those that don’t. I know it’s well meant & to be supportive but what it really does is put me under pressure I don’t need and dismisses the struggles I face.

Speaker Johnson says he's "deeply disappointed" the Senate approved the Epstein files bill without making changes.
He said he spoke to Trump about it: "We both have concerns"
Asked if Trump may veto it: "l'm not saying that. I don't know..."
Look at his face.
He's proper scared.
Delicious.

China’s official military news PLA Daily: “Japan will become a sea of fire from Hokkaido to Okinawa, with no place left unscathed. Any attempt to interfere in the Taiwan issue will drag Japan into an abyss of no return, turning its homeland into eternal ruins.”

Father of teen whose death was linked to social media has ‘lost faith’ in Ofcom
Ian Russell says watchdog lacks ‘urgency’ and is not willing to use its powers ‘to the extent required’
The father of Molly Russell, a British teenager who killed herself after viewing harmful online content, has called for a change in leadership at the UK’s communications watchdog after losing faith in its ability to make the internet safer for children.
Ian Russell, whose 14 year-old daughter took her own life in 2017, said Ofcom had “repeatedly” demonstrated that it does not grasp the urgency of keeping under-18s safe online and was failing to implement new digital laws forcefully. Continue reading...

my last test, the optician was great but the assistant wasn’t. She kept showing me frames I’d already said I couldn’t wear, then infantilised me with ‘don’t worry’ scripts, even commenting on my eye colour as if it was an anxiety issue rather than a sensory one. I’m an autistic adult, not a child
Our research study reveals barriers autistic people face in eye care – from sensory overload to rushed exams – and how professionals want to do better. Key fixes: clear communication, more time, calmer spaces. Read the open access paper: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Webb took a look at the Sagittarius B2 molecular cloud, the most massive, and active star-forming region in our galaxy, located only a few hundred light years from our central black hole.

I used to love social media; it was my way to connect.
But in the last few years it’s become really draining — not just because of the hate, but because it’s like watching lemmings.
Farage jumps off a cliff with a 🪂, everyone else jumps to their death.
They call us 🐑. Oh, the irony.

Thinking of my nan today, we lived with her when I was a child. I honestly believe now she was autistic but they labeled her schizophrenic and gave her state sponsored torture through electric shock treatment 😢 makes me sad to think how different it should have been. #Autism

I thought that academic Twitter was the worst: never ending stream of new publications, top jobs, big grants, prestigious awards, great conferences etc. Lives of those truly successful!
Now that I am on LinkedIn I have realised something: Twitter was a rookie platform when it comes to smugness.
