It’s #TimeToTalk, I have a neurodevelopmental condition called ADHD. My brain built itself slightly differently to the typical brain. This effects my focus, my decision making, my experience of time and my emotional regulation. So I’ve also had to seek help for Stress and Anxiety – at East, England

Fuck JKR and fuck transphobia and fuck treating sexual assault as a way to slur minorities.
The world doesn't have to be zero sum. We can support survivors *and* minority rights. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️♀️✊

Okay! I’m a bit nervous sharing this but I wrote an article for Clash about the current model of virtually unpaid streaming and how if it continues it will silence truly independent voices in music. Okay bye!
"If music costs money to make but doesn’t pay – we risk turning it into a pastime of the rich. Streaming may be convenient, but if people stop buying altogether then artists without money will be priced out..."

This and also perhaps I could call maintenance workers who will actually fix the problem, or call them quick enough for them to be useful, or call them even when my landlord doesn’t think the problem is worth fixing such as in the case of leaks and heating issues.
"Who's gonna do your maintenance if you don't have a landlord?"
The same maintenance workers the landlord calls except now I will call them.

Disappointed but not surprised at new amnesty Intl report findings.
Report says AstraZeneca, BioNTech, Johnson & Johnson, Moderna, Novavax and Pfizer are fuelling a human rights crisis through their refusal to waive IP rights & share vaccine technology:

So,
I am going to talk about the #Spectrum10K study that is an online pre-print (assuming will be published soon)
that literally looks at the genes of autistic people.
And it's just as bad as a lot of other autism research.
Let me explain -

I think that this is for @BlueSwirl – at Cambridge, England
Partial crater rim collapse into the glowing lava pond can be seen in this lucky drone shot. A small panik near the end when I am trying to find a way to evacuate the drone before the next outburst.

1/Today I was providing abortion care. Something I am proud to do. But today, something happened that angered me to my core. Today, I had to hold the hand of a sobbing patient who had been traumatized by a crisis pregnancy center (CPC).

Social and technological progress is about quality, accessible structures for enabling potential of all its members. The focus on individual genius is such an obvious myth that I honestly can’t understand how it sucks in so many educated people.
Perhaps someone should ask the people suffering from chronic pain whether they would be willing to accept the risks associated with taking medication to <checks notes> PROVIDE RESPITE FROM UNENDING PAIN! Seems like that might be worth some risk to me. 🤷♂️
ALT Dr Paul Chrisp, director of Nice’s centre for guidelines, said: “Based on the evidence, for most people it’s unlikely that any drug treatments for chronic primary pain, other than antidepressants, provide an adequate balance between any benefits they might provide and the risks associated with them.”
