I saw the "Actually, I have no idea what @DrRJChapman is." quote everywhere but, omg, every other quote from Singer is truly jaw dropping. I wasn't expecting to see neurodivergent people thrown so completely under the bus by her, but I should have expected it really.

i don't speak about this much but my older brother, who was autistic and had schizophrenia, died one christmas morning due to tory cuts to services. to many of us, the way writers and politicians legitimise such cuts is not a twitter debate but a matter of life and death.
I am so sick of the moral panic about everything but killing people.
A reminder of how PIP assessment actually works as an autistic applicant:
We kind of buried the lede, but I wish more people were reading this because the quotes we got from Judy Singer are astonishing. 19thnews.org/2024/04/neurod…
Traditionally, it’s a very bad sign when empires begin arresting their intellectuals. Never goes well. Just saying.

April 8th was publication day for Grief's Alphabet, and April 18th was the launch. Today is 25 April, and half the print run is either sold or en route to bookstores. 😮😍🥹 @SerenBooks
how wonderful, @PriceMargaret's new book Crip Spacetime: Access, Failure, and Accountability in Academic Life is available as a PDF here: dukeupress.edu/Assets/PubMate…
So very proud of our @ashbwrites - congratulations on your launch of Peregrine Quinn and the Cosmic Realm at @Waterstones Bristol Galleries! @UoBrisEnglish @piccadillypress
Is there anything written on how transition can change your support needs? (meant broadly: support networks, coping mechanisms, not just disability-specific stuff)
Sharing this CFP again - this is so important to keep talking about, especially right now
Wanna talk trans and disability?@SlavaGreenberg and I do too! “Toward Trans[]Crip Theory,” our special issue of @tsqjournal, is accepting scholarly & creative submissions through May 1. We know it’s a messy conversation. That’s why it’s important. tinyurl.com/2r7zf2wx
So proud of this paper as it was our first joint paper with @DrAmyPearson and the first paper published with a @ucl master student.

This. It's a form of objectification that uses autistic people as a means to an end with no ethical consideration for the community the person, or anyone's subjectivities.

The original pitch to my editor for this article: “it’s like if a bunch of academics came forward with a credible argument that JK Rowling didn’t write Harry Potter.” 19thnews.org/2024/04/neurod…
great reporting by @slooterman on our recent article on the history of neurodiversity theory and the various controversies surrounding it. (also lol'd at the quote "Actually I have no idea what Robert Chapman is") 19thnews.org/2024/04/neurod…
Off to Bath today for the second GW4 Crucible Lab with @GW4Alliance to tackle health inequalities through radical interdisciplinary. Will be great!
