A REMINDER THAT AUTISTIC WOMEN ARE MORE LIKELY TO NOT RECEIVE A FORMAL DIAGNOSIS.

ARE MORE LIKELY TO NOT RECEIVE SUPPORT.

ARE MORE LIKE TO BE THE VICTIMS OF SEXUAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL VIOLENCE

Poster promoting a book titled “Ramadan Through Autistic Lens – 2nd Ed, March 2026” by SEMA (Scottish Ethnic Minority Autistics). The design features warm beige tones with hanging Ramadan lanterns. At the bottom are two images of the book cover showing an illustrated Muslim woman wearing a hijab. Colorful shapes around her list topics such as executive dysfunction, sensory overload, meltdown moments, routine changes, fasting challenges, prayer, social anxiety, and sleep struggles. The subtitle reads “An Autistic Guide to Ramadan.”

We are pleased to see the positive response to our Autistic Ramadan E-book!

We would like to thank our service users for the learning, our partner organisations and fellow Autistic advocates for the continued love and support over the years & the team who put this together. 🧵👇

Today as it's International Women’s Day, all men are asked to listen to themselves and stop mansplaining until after midnight.

Perry: This St. Patrick’s Day, don’t forget Irish music’s anti-fascist roots Dropkick Murphys, the iconic Irish American punk band, are headlining a free block party March 6 near where Alex Pretti was killed by immigration agents, contributing columnist David M. Perry writes.

NEW “We’re celebrating a tradition that is at its core about resisting occupation and maintaining community in the face of horrors. You can’t keep politics out of Irish music. No one should try, for two reasons. First, it’s ahistorical. Second, Minnesotans are ready for a big anti-fascist party.”

I’m seeing stuff from Al Jazeera that there’s a lot of US military base infrastructure being destroyed and potentially way more loss of military lives than the American regime is letting on.

If my government decides to join in I will be protesting as loudly as I can.

Canadians need to start speaking up to @pmcarney.bsky.social & the liberal party. We can respect someone and like that he can speak well and like him more than the alternative but Millennials & younger don’t want this! We are a parliament & the liberals are a minority government. Say no to this war.

Grammarly Is Offering ‘Expert’ AI Reviews From Your Favorite Authors—Dead or Alive The tool, offered by the recently-rebranded company Superhuman, gives feedback based on the work of famous dead and living writers—without their permission.

Once a simple proofreading tool, Grammarly is now bristling with AI features and a suite of "expert" agents based on the works of real authors. But the company doesn't ask permission and in some cases offers feedback from virtual versions of dead writers—including one historian who died in January.

Policy makers have settled on the wrong social media evil to regulate (age) rather than the really pernicious one (engagement maximization algorithms)

This was actually infuriating to read. “Not a spectrum,” but goes on to describe four categories with differing levels of impact in differing areas. Says there’s no scientific basis for things like ear defenders or other sensory accommodations, so I guess when we say they help it’s meaningless?

It's hard to promote democracy in Iran when Trump don't want democracy in America.

With regard to Meta smart glasses, I say: nope.

Nope nope nopety nope nope nope.

What your Meta smart glasses record doesn’t stay on your smart glasses, ‘data labeling’ contractors say Meta contractors say they’ve been tasked with reviewing highly sensitive videos captured by the company’s smart glasses.

NEW: Contractors for Meta say they've been tasked with reviewing smart glasses footage in order to train the company's AI.

The contractors say they've seen videos showing wearers having sex, undressing & using the bathroom.

Deeply conflicted, Kushner represents the U.S. in high-stakes negotiations with Iran Today in Geneva, Switzerland, Jared Kushner will represent the United States in meetings with Iranian officials — a last

As Trump ramps up his warmongering with Iran, his own son-in-law Jared Kushner — who is leading negotiations with Iran — stands to profit from lucrative contracts with its regional rivals.

The Trump family's insatiable greed endangers us all.

Tennessee GOP Intro Bill To Kill Women Who Get An Abortion Here's an update on the bill, on the men responsible, and how you can contact them to stop this bill

Hey, so, reminder that Tennessee Republicans are introducing a bill that would kill women who get an abortion.

I dug up the MAGAs names, numbers, emails, & a script to use when calling them. Men—we need to step up. Act. Inundate them. Shut this trash down ASAP.

The way some of your faves use psychiatric diagnoses as insults and signifiers of bad people is...

Folks, we've got to internalize, collectively, that being a shitty person is not a psychiatric disorder and that sane people are fully capable of doing harm.

Even intentionally.

It only takes a minute -- "hey, my students really loved your book!" hit send -- but it makes all the difference in the world.

B.C. quietly suspends major affordable housing fund, leaving proponents holding the bag - Grand Forks Gazette Province had earmarked $775 million for roughly 100 projects provincewide

Wow... this is a massive story. The B.C. government had non-profit home providers spend millions in design work & 1,000s of expensive hours with planners & planning deps. to get affordable housing project applications shovel ready.

They've now pulled the plug: grandforksgazette.ca/2026/02/18/b...

This is actually worse, much worse, than fining NHL hockey players $2,500. We hold individuals to SO much higher standards and penalties than we do fucking multi-billion dollar corporations.

Let me remind you that this is the fucking company that ran a bread price fixing scam, for years.

Ryan Wilkins, 34, who struggles to compose work emails without sounding like a regency gentleman challenging a rival to a duel, recently decided that five exclamation points were the sweet spot for conveying that elusive laid-back enthusiasm.

BOYCOTT Estée Lauder products. #cdnpoli
Ronald Lauder, the son of Estée Lauder, uses the fortune he was born into to fund the very authoritarianism that destroyed Europe years ago. He is the architect of the Greenland scheme and the lithium deals in Ukraine.

Thank you for covering this!

Prime Minister @mark-carney.bsky.social this must stop!

Canada should stop this sale NOW...Canadians do not want this #ICEOUT 🇨🇦

Canada Must Stop the Sale of Armoured Vehicles to ICE Canada has a legal obligation, under both domestic and international law, to block the sale of armoured vehicles to U.S.

Canada has a legal obligation under domestic and international law to deny export permits for military machinery that could be used against civilians. My latest on the need for the PM to cancel the export permits of the Rochel vehicles going to ICE.
