I am interested in neurodivergent theologies and found a bunch of people on here to follow. I decided to turn that into a starter pack. Please suggest additions: i'm sure there are plenty of people I don't know about, plus many others like me joining the current Xodus wave.

BBC News just interrupted its coverage to go, live, to Nigel Farage - a man with no contitutional standing in our setup - responding to the budget - a document which nobody has seen yet. WHY

”We paid you to produce plausible-looking bullshit to support what we had already decided to do, but this bullshit isn't even plausible-looking”.

The Guardian's homepage right now... 1. "UK approves Jackdaw gasfield in North Sea" 2. World must cut emissions by 18% in four years ‘to find our way back’, UN says

The approval of the Jackdaw gas field is an environmental catastrophe. But also, side-eyeing this from an industry which has lost THIRTY THOUSAND JOBS in the past five years, what the absolute fuck is this justification?

Petition: Let’s hold the Government to its promise! No new oil or gas in our seas. Offshore drilling causes hundreds of toxic spills, deafens whales, & won't even lower our energy bills. It's time to stop letting Big Oil profit at the expense of our ocean. Sign: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...

Imagining a world in which the kinds of action that get you immediately dismissed from a university are naked bigotry, or bullying people into breakdowns, or trying to sleep with students, rather than sharing documents management don't want to be shared.

Absolutely despicable behaviour from Brighton senior management. It's not exactly a secret how many uni managers hold their staff in contempt, but it's not often they make it *quite* so obvious as this.

Sagal Abdi-Wali seems impressive, strong local roots & inspiring story. Under Mahmood/Starmer’s policy, praised by Burnham (who’s retained Mahmood), Abdi-Wali would have been well into adulthood before being secure in her Camden home, with threats of deportation to where she fled from every 2.5yrs.

"In a world that feels unwelcoming, it is really helpful when our peculiar discipleship is framed as part of the glorious diversity of God’s creation, affirming our inclusion in humanity's collective quest for thriving in community."

I have very mixed feelings about that 'Zionism is Racism' motion and don't really want to wade in with anything that isn't very, very well thought through, so I'm just going to share the fascinating results of the Jewish Greens group's poll of members: jewishgreens.greenparty.org.uk/2026/10/02/s...

Day 8 of the UCU workers' strike at the University of Edinburgh against the job cuts imposed by senior management and their burgeoning salaries. Yesterday, a victory: the Principal announced he is stepping down in 2028. We must, however, change the system that elects Principals ...

Day 13 of 25. We are now halfway through our industrial action to rule out compulsory redundancies at the University of Dundee. Join us on our picket line today for a friendly atmosphere and chat. Bake sale tomorrow too.

And he wants to drill for more fossil fuels

💥 BREAKING: @andyburnham.bsky.social just announced that the Government will launch a National Commission on Electoral Reform 📰 Press release: www.labourforanewdemocracy.org.uk/news/burnham... 🌹 #Labour4PR #Lab26

This. This includes the tactic of being so inflexible with meeting dates that your caseworker can't attend (which we've seen reported elsewhere). Your legal rights trump their busy calendar and refusal to treat your own schedule with respect.

"Artificial" isn't the word that needs changing in the name. (Also, "phenomena" is plural) (Also, X relative to X, huh?) (Also, "American Intelligence" was right there, & would be both truer & less dystopian than any of the provided options) At least this post is better than 99% of things he does

📢 Call for Papers! We're excited to collaborate with the Practical Theology Hub to present a series of short articles exploring the intersections of neurodiversity, theology, and lived experience. Do you have something to share? Click through to find out more!

🧵 1/13 🔦 What the Government won't tell you on climate. 🔒 It buried its own intelligence report on ecological breakdown 👉 bsky.app/profile/geor... 📈 Now it won't tell us how it sets carbon budgets that let emissions roll on ⚖️ So we are taking it to Court 👉 www.crowdjustice.com/case/carbon-...

Ah yes, the good ol' "You've got things wrong, but we're not going to tell you which things, or why we think they're wrong, so you're just going to have to stop talking about what's going on entirely" approach. A classic.

@ucunorthumbria.bsky.social members are VOTING NOW to protect pay and conditions - here's a little, daft, poetic reminder in case any have forgotten to do so yet. Pls share! Last chance to request replacement ballot is 2/9; last safe date to post is 8/9; ballot ends 11/9. You know what to do!

For many, this will bring a real sense of relief, alongside understandable sadness. Hundreds of staff have already left or been affected by cuts, leaving an already depleted workforce facing the start of teaching in just a few weeks.

The University of Exeter has confirmed that it won’t proceed with compulsory redundancies “at this time”. This means colleagues do not need to complete the pro forma, and there will be no selection process.

Tim Curry and Dolly Parton have taught us not only that you should be bigger, weirder, gayer, and freakier, but also that those qualities are what people will love about you. The things that make you strange and amazing are the things that will resonate with other strange and amazing people

I'd say "Something for nothing" culture is getting paid £100,000 a year of public money, plus expenses, for a job that you then fail to turn up to for months on end

People in the profession really do not see any difference between members of the public mocking you on Twitter dot com for drunkenly climbing sailors, and the world’s most feral press camped on your doorstep, badgering your colleagues and going through your bins, making you a notorious global celeb.

let's be real: plagiarism scandals in academia happen all the time (not because academics plagiarize a lot, but just because of how many millions of faculty there are around the world) and it is never general-public news unless the culprit is a member of a minority.

Two thirds of articles about the wildfires didn't mention climate change. Once again parts of our media are failing at the most basic part of their job - reporting the truth. uk.themedialeader.com/two-thirds-o...
