How has the media STILL not learnt from the horrors of the victims of Peter Sutcliffe? WOMEN. Call them WOMEN.

7 days on, still no Disability Minister appointed.
When the last Government demoted this position, it showed us just how little Disabled peoples' lives mattered to them.
The new Government has the chance to change that, but will they follow in the same footsteps...?
Exciting to receive the proofs for the Research Handbook of Academic Mental Health earlier. Great experience collaborating w. C.J. Griffin & @AutisticPsych on a chapter exploring autism, masking and academia. Research Handbook of Academic Mental Health (e-elgar.com)
ALT Blue post, title reads - coming soon - Research Handbook of Academic Mental Health. 2 images - one showing the cover for the upcoming publication. The other is a screenshot of our chapter title: A mask that eats the face: neurotypicality and autistic doctoral researchers.

Nigel Farage won thanks to billionaire owned media.
Jeremy Corbyn and 4 Green MPs won thanks to OUR movement - which runs on people’s passion, commitment and solidarity alone.
No wonder they’re so scared of us 😘

WE DID IT!
Bristol, we made history💚
Thank you so much to the people of Bristol Central who have elected me as their MP
As this city's first Green MP, I promise to be a strong, independent voice for Bristol's values, pushing the govt to be bolder on the issues that matter
The way certain male politicians talk to and about women really sets me on edge. Its that feeling women and AFAB individuals can readily identify but may struggle to explain.

Labour should commit to a judge led inquiry into the deaths of the disabled and the DWP's role in those deaths. Time to stand up @Keir_Starmer and @AngelaRayner It's fine to speak about work, but ignoring the reality of disabled people's lives is a grave injustice.

Deaths by Benefit reform. Distressing details some might not want to read.
As Disability has only be talked about in terms of getting the disabled into work,
I thought it would be a good time to show the appalling deaths that have happened over
the past 14 years. 🧵

Repeat:
PIP is NOT an unemployment benefit
Disabled people IN work can claim PIP.
It is there to reflect the inequality disabled face in society

20 years of going to the doctors in pain. Finally diagnosed with Hypermobility. This is not an uncommon experience for #AutisticWomen. #Underdiagnosis, years of pain and being made to feel like hyperchondriacs.

There is something both soothing and enraging in writing abstracts about Autism. On one hand, I get to highlight the difficulties we face. On the other hand I have to read work sometimes rooted in the medical paradigm of disability. #actuallyautistic #academia
For anyone doing a PhD at whatever stage. No, you never feel long term like you know what you are doing and it all makes sense. Hang on to those moments where you feel it clicks and use it to carry you forward. #ActuallyAutistic #PhD #Academia
I am legitimately excired when I get the chance to lecture. Especially about Autism.
Its so vital to let Autistic people speak on Autism in University settings
