I wrote about what I’d been reading, for the @guardian. Now: editing’s important. I’m happy to be edited and I welcome it. But isn’t it funny how it’s always the same word that gets edited out? theguardian.com/books/2024/may…
I wasn’t planning on voting today. Strikes me as a largely ineffective and expensive job for someone who wants to move on from another job. Am I wrong?

We @disyoutransit made a submission to this @CommonsWorkPen inquiry into disability employment, based on emerging findings from our research with disabled young people in the North East of England & Central Scotland. You can read our evidence here: tinyurl.com/58rtb9hx
Deadline extended to 13 May!
“The problem is that we regularly conflate “homes” with “institutions”. We hope that, by calling a place a home, it sets us apart from our carceral past yet, often, the inner dynamics remain institutional.” Lucy Series @UoBrisSPS always worth reading.

News. Staff who abused children at a special school in Walthamstow have not been sacked, according to a BBC investigation. CCTV footage shows children being slammed, kicked and hit with force. @Rachel_deSouza has described the findings as "horrifying". learningdisabilitytoday.co.uk/news/horrifyin…

Our article is in the latest issue of IJDD: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10… We report that people with intellectual disabilities give the same reasons for hurting themselves as everyone else. Seems obvious, but we currently don't respond as if this is the case. Time for a change.
MLMC members are disappointed to hear the government's plan to change disability benefits. Co-Chair of the Trustees @BenjaminMcCay1 said "this would be disastrous. Poor and vulnerable people are easy targets for a desperate government." #PIP #Benefits

@davidabbottbris I wondered whether it was worth it, but our democratic right to vote is so important - and long fought-for by women.
@davidabbottbris It’s a serious issue! My grandma would be horrified 😉
I know ppl are rightly upset at the sophistry in calling LGBTQ ppl ‘not normal’ & citing the myriad genders claptrap, but frankly I’m perturbed by Galloway wearing a hat in a house. I was brought up to believe a gentleman never wears a hat indoors [except for religious purposes].
NEW: in an interview with @novaramedia, George Galloway repeatedly says that gay relationships aren't "normal", and children shouldn't be taught to think that they are. Full interview out on Sunday at 3pm.
Imagine you are trans, non binary, intersex, imagine you feel outside the fold. Then watch as the media and govt use you and opposition parties tear themselves inside out becos they don’t have the guts to face down hatred. I’ll stand with the marginalised; my people.
As someone who was born here, I no longer recognise this country, and it’s a place I feel I do not belong. How can I say that when I have so much, but when those who have so little are demonised by the media m, govt and political silence, then I know our country has been lost.
The expressions of support for what we’ve tried to do with @sarasiobhan’s Laughing Boy from people who know and understand what it’s all about have been so touching, so real. Thank you. Laughter and love. ❤️
It’s coeliac awareness month. Coeliac disease is an often misunderstood condition - it’s not an allergy, it’s not an intolerance, it’s not a lifestyle choice. It’s a chronic autoimmune condition which can impact daily life massively. Sending ❤️ to anyone who with the disease x
Today we launch our month long campaign to drive awareness of coeliac disease. Did you know that an estimated 500,000 people in the UK are living with undiagnosed coeliac disease? That’s why this year, we’re doubling down on our mission to find those individuals and guide…

Personally I think PCCs are an utter waste of local taxpayers money.
Last night I didn't know if I'd go to work today - I felt incapable, naive, clumsy, unskilled. Today an unlikely source enveloped me in a hug and thanked me for being a wonderful manager. This people malarkey is so flipping hard.
Ah I love the smell of voting in the morning! I was off before the school run to vote. Clean Green sweep for me for Bristol. Can't bring myself to vote Labour when they said they'd keep the 2 child welfare cap, plus all they do is excuse Israel's onslaught on Palestine.
