@bat020 TW on Dylan"I thought folk music was for the dumb guys. This guy played like the dumb guys. But then these words came out. I was flabbergasted. I said to Albert Grossman, who was in the studio, ‘If you put some background to this you might have a white Ray Charles with a message"
@TheRam9009@SamsaraSings Someone who met the old Asperger’s criteria (no early language delay, average or above-average intelligence) can still meet Level 2 (moderate) criteria today if their social communication challenges and rigidity/repetitive behaviours require substantial support.

We must all give our full support to the six heroic political prisoners for Palestine in Britain who are currently on hunger strike.
They are making entirely reasonable demands – an end to their abuse in prison (censorship of reading materials, withholding of letters, prolonged use of solitary confinement); the shut down of Elbit sites; bail for Pal Action prisoners; the right to fair and timely trials; deproscription of Pal Action; among other demands.
The situation is now becoming severe with some of the strikers' health deteriorating. Malnutrition and starvation can cause acute and irreversible health problems, as well as lead to organ failure and death. The British government must respond, if only to redeem their own humanity.
Amu, Heba, Qesser, Jon, T, and Kamran – our hearts are with you.
@bobdylan Thanks Bob. I saw you when you played Brighton recently and thought that you the band were excellent. Also diolch for wearing the Welsh dragon t shirt on the last Swansea date! 🏴
BREAKING: Prisoners accused of taking action against the genocide, threaten to begin a hunger strike on November 2nd if their demands are not met.
They all face up to two years in prison before trial, far exceeding the pre-detention custody limit of six months.
