I am a PhD student researching the micro politics of Autistics in the workforce. I am a New Materialist and draw on the philosophies of Deleuze & Guattari while conducting post-qualitative inquiry. On Mastodon: @[email protected]
Gaza is today's Auschwitz.
The Irony of becoming what you once hated.
Zionism is Nazism.
Zionists are today's Nazis.
The Zionist state of Israel is today's Nazi state.
Israel is no different from the Nazi state. Once upon a time, the Nazis forced Jews from their homes, and now Israel is doing what the Nazis did and forcing hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to leave their homes.
Mawasi Khan Yonnis is the largest area for the displaced population in Gaza, sheltering more than a million Palestinians, all in tents. Israeli occupation forces targeted it with eight missiles; the intensity was so strong that it buried tents and people underground. It has been almost an hour, and paramedics are still unable to retrieve anyone. The death toll is estimated to be in the hundreds.
I’m saddened by the loss of @stevesilberman, author of Neurotribes & a crucial ally. His book transformed my understanding of Autism & led me to the work of Autistic authors & academics. His work inspired me to focus on Autistic experiences in my PhD thesis. RIP, Steve.
If masking and camouflaging are required to prevent otherwise visible Autistic traits from being seen, would the Autistic community be better understood as a “visible Neurominority group”?

I’m on parental leave for a year supported by a small grant. My PhD program is paused & funding continues when I return. Committee said “congratulations” It’s so different in Canada.
Undergrad: my “mentor’ found out I was pregnant, told her other mentees they should learn from my “mistake” in front of me. First year of my PhD program, the then chair of the dept. found out I had a kid & told me to keep my legs closed if I wanted to graduate..
