The Prettiest Girl in School
When the prettiest girl in the school wandered over to talk to a 16 year old me, she said something that changed the way I looked at the world then and even more so now. The world is far more neuroβ¦
Right now I know both too many people who "didn't have any of this autism/ADHD crap when we were at school" and young people struggling with neurodiversity.
We were there then. We're here now. And they need us. They need you.

The frustrating thing about the G. Wallace situation is that it's not unusual.
His behaviour has been an open secret for years.
All business protects its assets. If it's more cost effective to cover up wrongdoing & silence complainants, that's what's done.
It happens every day in every industry.

Reddit - Dive into anything
A place to post discussions, questions, or anything else you like.
This is an interesting read. It's very much "It's all Russia", which it's not. The important take-away is that there are very large, well funded organisations gaming social media (we knew that) & *they're playing both sides* because creating division is a win for them.

Let's start with this hypothesis: the success of cycling infrastructure can be measured not by how fast, but by how slowly people cycle.
Success is not enabling the fastest, most able cyclists to go faster, but to enable everyone capable to cycle safely and with confidence.
