Thinking of Zoe today and this week. Zoe was a young autistic woman severely damaged by the label of EUPD as she, her mam Jean, and everyone who knew her told mental health services. She was severely let down and we fight on in Zoe and so many other’s name. #AutismNotPD 🦄🐹🩰💔

The first vaccine in America came from an enslaved Black man named Onesimus. Cotton Mather learned it from him. Boston doctors mocked it.
It cut deaths from 14% to 2.5%.
Years later, Jenner got the credit. History erased him. We remember him ✊
A barrister hired a digger and physically restored a dead river, brought back fish, herons and dragonflies, and the Environment Agency response is to threaten him with two years in prison for not having a permit.

Capitalism turned 2Pac into a brand. His image is celebrated everywhere, while his Black Panther roots and critiques of racism, poverty, and inequality are rarely discussed.
