@PeteOlusoga 👏 my pet peeve- unconscious and conscious bias training needs a massive warning sign on it that says: “NB: conscious and unconscious bias training do not reduce unconscious/conscious bias”

Wild take here. The spectrum is broad and I don’t mean to undermine severe deficits experienced, but some studies also suggest that”findings indicate that alleles for #autism overlap broadly with alleles for high intelligence”. We also know intelligence has genetic components…

I actually have a tiny little bit of a theory that the increase in autism is at least partly due to vaccines...but not for the reasons anybody thinks. (Spoiler alert for anyone getting scared at this point: vaccines don't cause autism, vaccines cause adults.)

@LindaMDickson3 @KellyScaletta For example it could be fear about not being able to “move” (house, town, job something else) or to escape (a job, relationship, something?) or a criticism of others you worry about (that you are stuck, slow, immobile, not exercising)? Any of that sound familiar?

@LindaMDickson3 @KellyScaletta To reassure you, dream interpreters suggest people and things in your dreams usually represent a part of you. So this could mean you fear loosing a part of yourself (something associated with your legs - if the pain isn’t real)? Do you run or move or travel a lot? Or not much?

A little over a year ago, my wife was zooming with her mom when I heard her laughing. So I went over and said hi to her. We chatted for a minute, and then I figured I was taking over the call, so I waved and said, "I love you, mom," and went about my way. Shortly after that, she got a UTI, which spiraled out of control, and before we knew it, she was on her deathbed. I couldn't get there before she was in the hospice, unable to speak. About 4 days later, she passed. The last words she ever heard me say to her were, "I love you, Mom." Now, I make sure it's the last thing I say to the people I love.

@brent_waggoner And then we wander about the prevalence of perinatal mental health. Mothers are humans and their children are too. If it’s not an adult only venue YOU LEAVE.

@brent_waggoner A mother friend of ours had all three with her out in a pram desperate to have on normal experience not being harassed. She went to a local cafe and had such awful cutting comments from a customer that she turned out around and walked out in tears.,.

Aggressively anti-child people never want to talk about how new mothers often end up isolated and abandoned by their childless friends after having a baby because sitting with a new mom or doing an activity with a toddler is just a bridge too far for their "friendship".

I'm at @BostonLogan 3.15pm at the @British_Airways check in desk. I give my ticket & passport to the airline steward & she says "I will check you in now. For future reference this is not the correct queue. The one you should use is to the right." Economy Class.

@HackedOffHugh By threat of slander and false accusations, on top of very scary other behaviours. No police interest - civil supposedly? But it would take up to 50k to pursue it, irrespective of the evidence I have or corroboration. And that means there is nothing I can ever do.

@HackedOffHugh Completely understanable. Irrespective of one’s personal finances. Sadly justice is too often a privilege of those sufficiently wealthy, by comparison, to pursue it. I recently had a very much cheaper set of circumstances involving, in my view, an attempt at extortion.
