It's OK

It's not like the planet is burning or anything......

Today I looked up 'badger bum' and also spotted two (TWO!) running hedgehogs. #NHMP

If you have some time on your hands, I heartedly recommend doing contributing to the National Hedgehog Monitoring Programme. So far I've spotted 2 hedgehogs, leaping squirrels, sleeping cows and curious birds. And one pooing fox. ptes.org/campaigns/he...

I like that point - but dislike the suggestion that autistics needs to be ‘treated’

5 year old on walk to school “Mummy, we need to do more to look after the environment.” Too right, little one.

Age yourself with a film you saw in the theatres as a kid...

Will this event be live-streamed or recorded? It sounds really interesting - alas inaccessible to me as I do not live in London…

Temporary housing linked to deaths of at least 74 children Official data show that 58 of those children were babies under the age of one.

There are some stories which no matter how obvious, how inevitable under current systems, still create a visceral reaction.
We have rising levels of poverty and homelessness, including among children. This should be a far bigger focus for government investment. #r4today

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

True, although his snack box is to support him between meals - to support his regulation in class. (Not cracked how to get him to drink through the day though 🤷🏻‍♀️)

Well that’s wonderfully heart warming 🥰

So much! My 8yo has a snack box which he uses as needed at school - it really seems to help.

Nope, I’m firmly extroverted - but my social battery needs a regular recharge

I guess the Joy Of Missing Out is about declining social invitations - it doesn’t mean you literally do nothing. My brain would find that very hard to do #adhd

I hear you!

Can we start normalising the Joy Of Missing Out?

There is so much social pressure to ‘do’ - have we forgotten how lovely it is to do nothing?

Blimey 😧

S4 of #astrid has an enhanced comedy feel to it, and I’m not sure I like it.

How exactly are the ants… impressive?

Agreed - further to this your Alt Text is insufficiently detailed. It would be helpful for @houseofcommons.parliament.uk to consider how they can increase accessibility to widen engagement in this platform.

You can say, “gravity isn’t real,” but if you step off the cliff, you’re still going down.

And if you convince other people it’s not real, you are responsible for what happens if they make decisions based on the information you withheld.

Is that autism, or is that masking…?

(Over)thinking it through - it’s the NT social world which makes us be hyper aware of our actions - not the autism, per se…

Commercial Determinents of health

Dr Jenifer Dixon, "In the last decade, public health funding was reduced per head by 22%"

Hugo Keith, "Is that central government or local government?"

Dr Jenifer Dixon, "Both"

Hugo Keith, "Beginning to end it's reduced by 22%"

Dr Jenifer Dixon, "And more in deprived areas"

*searching somewhat desperately for silver linings* …could this provide other countries with leadership opportunities, to be heard more?
