Autistically Audacious

#AskingAutistics I recently visited my library. The place, where with only a library card & rabid hyperlexia I discovered I was autistic. This little cove of knowledge led me to self-awareness. It's been a long journey & I've learned a lot about myself, my community & yet..

@MrJohnNicolson @Ofcom I think if you're getting £85k in salary & on average a quarter of a million in expenses to do a job you shouldn't have enough time to wipe yer arse never mind talking arse on your own show.

I asked the question. But the answer seemed pretty clear. GBNews hirings aren’t compatible with @ofcom rules. So - what will the Ofcom boss now do?

@MikeOGallagher @lindseyhilsum You're forgetting that there's an island filled with 50 million racists in between mainland Europe and Ireland 🇮🇪

@lindseyhilsum Or an Irish supermarket, at the end of an even longer supply chain, despite still being in the EU.

No tomato shortage here - but I’m in Kherson, a frontline Ukrainian city that gets shelled by the Russians daily, not a British supermarket.

@lindseyhilsum @RichardJMurphy Breaking News…. Tory VIP Fast-tracking restricts VeggieBlight to one island…🙄

@Channel2Dg @lindseyhilsum It's in Kent, where people like you live tho. I'd rather go hungry?

@lindseyhilsum No shortage in Kent either.

@lindseyhilsum Large London sainsburys yesterday

@mike_mcgrail @NoContextBrits You mean "fresh " hard yet wet burnt scalding tomato. Eat around it.

@NoContextBrits p.s. I don't mean all uses of tomato in all contexts in all possible ways in all areas of the multiverse. Just in this form, in a breakfast.

You have to lose one item. What is it?

@DJmissGripper All the BAD sausage meat.

@TeashaJacksonPE This one has been approved. I look forward to reading it.

@ndZombieoid Hi!! I wrote HELL FOLLOWED WITH US! It’s a YA post-apocalyptic horror about american christofascism with an autistic love interest based on myself. it’s also an NYT bestseller and really, really queer 🙈

On neurodiversity, disability, mental health, race, feminism & more. Librarians by their very nature are much more open to new ideas. Reach out to them. Let's change the world one book at a time.

Autism, some are books by autistic authors & some are books about famous autists. I had help collating this with an #ActuallyAutistic librarian. It's really raised my spirits & I hope that others will follow suit & help update the narrative on autistic folk

Groceries too expensive? Just stop eating, you poors. Also don’t look at our price gouging record breaking profits.

A name please 👇🏽

@SteveLarsonBRT @plscallmeky It surely can't feel good to imagine the worst about someone. Admittedly I'm wayyy too trusting until all the evidence is in. It's not based on a feeling but observing long term behavior. It may be a kind of evolutionary shortcut but still it misses the mark so often.

@ndZombieoid @plscallmeky This whole business of their just imagining something and running with it is maddening. Every time it happens I’m shocked and perplexed as if it were the first time 😠🤬🤯💀

@julesmchamish Tescos two days ago.again no tomatoes,peppers and cucumbers

Empty shelves at the supermarket is so normal these days, but today I really noticed it. We’re not Russia in the 80s. This shouldn’t be normal! Today at Sainsbury’s #Branksome #Poole hardly any tomatoes nor eggs.
