I was undiagnosed autistic whilst teaching. There’s the good, the routine, the autonomy of how you teach but there are challenges for sure. Taken for last minute cover, an implication not understood. It’s only after leaving and a diagnosis that the exhaustion of 15 years masking is recognised

I would have left it where it is as well. Bloody puzzle piece.

I really appreciate this TikToker with Tourette syndrome, Shay, for taking the time to educate so many of us (including me) about her disability and coprolalia in light of what happened at the BAFTAs with John Davidson when Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo were on stage.

I learned a lot.

To be fair, for my first child who is 32, it’s quite along time ago. She asked me the same qu and I said she had been given all that was offered. Your doctor should be able to tell you what vaccinations you had as a child

That’s awful. I see mine every 2 weeks and email him often. I don’t think I would have survived the last year and a half without that level of supervision

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

I have always voted Labour but left the party last year. I am coming around to joining the greens. I love that Zack is winning over the next generation of voters which is something no party has tried to do in my lifetime. And the slogan β€˜let’s make hope normal again’ - genius.

A friend asked me to make a Mexican wrestling mask for a friend of hers who is ill to cheer him up. I found this. I’m doing it in blue, white and pink and it won’t have hair.
I’ll post when it’s finished πŸ˜‚

I actually think it’s our generation that has a problem with phones, young people have grown up with them, they’re not as novelty, it’s just how it is.
I however, am still amazed I can buy a pint if milk with my phone!

More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland.

They say they will provide Californians with β€œrule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”
