@_JOSHEDWARDS_ I've not been here since it was Twitter, and almost forgotten how to post a pic! I was searching for what 'Pant' meant on my can of pop.

Beer question: What is a Pant and why is there only 1 of them?

@JacdenHouting just read about you on the Inflow app, and very happy to have found you! Looking forward to watching your TED talk 😁

@JacdenHouting That's fascinating. I had made the assumption that 'identity-first' had come from communities of autistic people with low support needs. I thought maybe others had been diagnosed a long time, and perhaps more influenced by the ableist community. It's a very different slant.

Results showed people with greater internalised stigma found identity-first language more offensive; people with stronger autism identity preferred identity-first language more strongly.

Next up we have Simon Bury discussing language preferences (identity-first or person-first), giving insight into *why* people prefer these different types of language. #ASfAR2022

These dogs have no idea that they're about to be tortured in experiments. Since 2019, THOUSANDS of beagles have been bred in U.S. factory farms & sent to Europe to be tormented, cut open, & killed. HELP THEM NOW! peta.vg/3pkk

july was the hottest month in over 120,000 years. the climate catastrophe is already ravaging the planet. what if you decided to do something about it by going vegan instead of, idk, sitting idly by watching the world burn?

I am heartbroken by this utterly appalling loss of life. And I am sick and tired of ritual expressions of sympathy by those who condemned these human beings to death. Governments across Europe have blood on their hands — and we demand justice. bbc.co.uk/news/world-eur…

@HappyCow Pure Vegan in Lancaster - it evolved from a market stalled, and now provides excellent food in a lovely indoor atmosphere.
