To try and switch myself off from politics and thinking for a bit I do like watching football YouTube. But there is an extreme masochistic despair in being both a communist and supporter of Tottenham Hotspur.
Did you just understand that you're autistic?
What's next?
My 6-week workshop will guide you thru the next steps in a supportive community.

On 3rd March I was lucky enough to present at the Participatory Autism Research Collective’s 2026 Critical Autism Studies Conference.
Read the abstract and have a watch here!
Many people are putting undue pressure on themselves to conform to an “autistic standard” either in order to be accepted by NT society, or in the case of many late identified folx - the autistic community.
That’s not unmasking friends - that’s just another form of asking
Thank you! I will take a look
Yes, I did the presentation on PBS 🙂
Amazing, let’s chat! Really appreciated your insights at PARC conference 🙂🙂
My first substack post is live!
‘Neurocommunism refers to a political ontology in which forms of collective life are organised around neuroqueer sensory, communicative and relational practices rather than normative capitalist productivity and communicability’.
I’d like to see your methodology please? Bc Limp Bizkit’s ‘Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water’ I think has the most ‘fucks’ on any album? And I think that’s an important factor

INTRODUCING! Hannah Spencer The new Green MP for GORTON & DENTON Green Party Promoted by Chris Williams on behalf of The Green Party, both at PO Box 78066, London SE16 9GQ
Introducing Hannah Spencer MP 💚
In the heaps of shit this needs to be a day of celebration. Not really ‘too close to call’ was it?
obviously today is a huge embarrassment for Matt Goodwin and for Reform, which is something that we absolutely ought to celebrate, but we must also remember it's a huge embarrassment for Morgan McSweeney and Maurice Glasman and all the Blue Labour weirdos, and that's important to celebrate too :)
I suppose the upside, Matt, is that your academic career is no longer the defining failure of your life.
Gorton and Denton is a clear litmus test for what sort of society we want. Do we want a representative who is a pseudo academic, divisive racist and misogynist? Or a plumber who fights for her community and her greyhounds?

Excited to be presenting at this next week!
I’ll be presenting a piece entitled:
‘Positive Behaviour Support as a Normalising Technology: A Cartography of the Mechanisms of Power in the PBS Competence Framework’
It’s free, come along!
As a society, we have leaned so far into the "we should only fund education if it leads to jobs" philosophy, that we have effectively eliminated the idea that school is for learning.
Truly, at this juncture, "what even is the fucking point?" can't be overstated enough.
Wittgenstein, probably
Extremely worrying stuff from the Labour government.
An abhorrent neglect for the human rights of disabled young people to have their educational needs met.
There is only one way we will defeat Reform: together.
That’s why I’m backing the Greens in the Gorton and Denton by-election.
We are a mass movement of all ages, backgrounds and faiths — united in a belief that things can, and will, change.
This you Keir?

We need more compassion, care and empathy in Occupational Therapy. OTs have the chance to help disabled people thrive, and compassion, anti-ableism is how you get there.
The inevitability of the eventual downfall of Blairism paving the way for Farage’s fascism. Terrifying.

Yeah delivering ‘trauma informed’ training to the Gestapo will really sort this out
Start my morning everyday with BBC World Service and coffee in bed (I’m 30, it’s pathetic).
Thought I was still asleep living through a nightmare when, at 7am, I turn it on and hear about Elon Musk wanting to put AI Data centres in space.
It’s all fucking grim isn’t it?
I don’t think anyone is capable of being more of a cartoon villain if they tried
