After the move of content from “the Armchair Collective” to btrmt, the articles were named “The Armchair Collection” so old readers would find familiarity there. After some (vocal) feedback, the interim ‘Armchair Collection’ is gone. Now the articles are just the articles. Membership to The Armchair Collective is still by invitation only (for now), but everyone will always have access to the articles.

Updates to four common causes of relationship conflict.

Now that btrmt is more than just a collection of articles, it’s time to bring it all together.

As such, all my articles and content are now here, as a project of btrmt. The Armchair Collective too, has been rehomed here but now is just the home for the membership community. Membership to The Armchair Collective is still by invitation only, for now, but the articles will always be for anyone to read.

In addition to the manifesto, also launched Neurotypica: a guide to brain and behaviour. Updates to follow as it develops.
