Went to their open day and was disappointed at the graffiti and other mess over amazing historic buildings with tents put up, to add to that there was a guy campaigning for Israel at the front of the building with a large flag very loudly. Lecturer wise I was impressed as for all the subjects I went to they seemed to be very good at what they did. In short good lecturers / staff but riddled with campaigners poisoning the open day experience.
‼ Free university education. Reform will go back to the old system where students do not pay university fees. ‼Vote REFORM! It was always free to go to university before Tony Blair. People forget that Labour were the ones who first forced students to pay their own tuition fees and rack up loads of debt! Plus Reform will raise the tax threshold to £20,000 - so young people will have much more money in their pocket. And Reform are making it easier for young people/first time buyers to purchase houses.
I remember turning Autistic They are all barking up the wrong tree And they will never be able to comprehend us, It was one of us that pointed out us to them, (mistake) we are hidden in plain sight, so we hid the answers in plain sight sorry this part of the cycle is always a bit extreme, to say the least But trust me, what goes down must come up
I am 66 years old, and I am a non-diagnosed autistic person. I came to this discovery in May of 2023 at 65 years old, after taking multiple online tests, including the AQ test, that all agreed with startling certainty that I was significantly high on the autistic spectrum (AQ test: 38/50). Since then tests for ADHD have also indicated high likelihood. I lived for nearly 30 years in eastern Ukraine and was on a Christmas visit in the States when Russia invaded. The people nearest and dearest to me were living within hearing range of the bombing. Within four months I went from over 190 lbs to 160. My days were spent from first light or even pre-dawn to late at night in a state of constant panic mode often bordering on terror as I constantly scrambled to do everything I could to help my loved ones there, at times having no idea where they were or if they were even safe. That felt like a walking death. For more than a year after these events I couldn't even talk about them without breaking down. The sense of horror can come back to me any moment if I start to linger on it all. (So I don't.) I don't know, but I think this is PTSD. All this happened, significantly, before I had any inkling of being on the autistic spectrum. Once I did discover this--and the revelation came to me with a tsunami of recognition, a total dam-break of lifelong experiences and conflicts that suddenly make overwhelming sense--the way this whole episode with the invasion acted on me, my senses, my nerves, the way it exacerbated and elevated to a kind of peak crisis state what I now realize was always my default struggle to navigate the neurotypical "matrix," this all made sense in a way I'd never have been capable of grasping before I discovered my autism. Now I can "place" it, in a way I can "shepherd" myself through it now I'd never have been able to before.
Thank you for sharing your valuable insights. Every aspect of life is changing due to digitalization, and research is no exception. As a result, researchers must adjust to these changes, which are crucial given how quickly the world is changing.
I have Cptsd from eaely childhood abuse. I always felt kind of being Autistic, since being with an Autistic man for five years. My symptoms were even much stronger than his, but he's just the stereotype of an Autistic man. So-I ended up thinking it was BPD which my family happily supported. Most members of my family are Narcissists, few are narcissistic. I ended up which such partners for all my life. At 42 I realised I am an HSP and I got diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. I've been depressed and suicidal for all.my life, it was my normal state..Since being in a healthy relationship and having ended all contact with toxic people, I've healed a lot from the trauma, but so many symptoms are still there. What's been part of me since I was a very little girl, is still there. Imo, I'm autistic. I'm afraid of seeing someone to get diagnosed because medical gaslighting and fear of doctors is a lifelong issue for me
Spivak is so full of herself, it's disgusting. At 1:34:28 she speaks so rudely to the woman who was simply supporting her. I think spivak is insecure whenever someone starts to make her own point but with less pretentious language. Because spivak's whole USP is not her analytical skill but her ability to use pretentious language to appear obscure. She fears being exposed as the fart that she is.
Any condemnation of Hamas r@pists and pressure on them to return Israeli hostages and examination of the historical truths and condemnation of Hamas treatment of women, LGBTQ and other minorities and the deviation of funds belonging to the Palestinian people during the event? Did not think so. Sorry. You are Hamas funded agents.
Oh wow, I hadn't considered this before, but so many autistic elders who have dementia or alzheimers must be struggling so much more than necessary if the autism has not been identified. That's awful, hopefully more effort is made in identifying ASD in older people to address and prevent this. 9/10 being undiagnosed is horrifying. The ways in which ASD could compound harmful or distressing symptoms are so many, addressing this would improve lives significantly.
This discussion totally missed her writing on animals in reply to Descartes. “As if that God made creatures for man’s meat, to give them life and sense for man to eat, making their stomachs graves which for they fill with murdered bodies that in sport they kill, yet man doth think him self so gentle, mild, when he of creatures is most cruel, wild and is so proud thinks only he shall live, but God a godlike nature did him give and that all creatures for his sake alone was made for him to tyrannize upon.”
Well, I have argued to condamn capitalism itself as a systemic violation of human rights and an organised crime system! I think that is the way forward. jocrise.unida.gontor.ac.id/index.php/JOCRISE/article/view/34
Is Birkbeck for more mature students? I noticed there seemed to be a lot of mature students. I don't think this a bad thing I think it makes it more varied and people have more experience and have life skills.
What a great film. I hope that things can change for victim-survivors of sexual violence and abuse. We can do so much better and deserve so much better. How strong and inspiration all these people are, it's really helpful to hear these important stories so we can bring about change but also heartbreaking to hear how many services have let people down.
Life is a sequence of joyful events and catastrophes with long stretches of real life in between. Life is hard. Get a helmet and get to work…and STOP over-talking and iver-thinking EVERYTHING !!
