I hope I live long enough to get my autistic grandson out of hospital Dorothy Lafferty says doctors long ago agreed her grandson does not need to be cared for in hospital.

BBC News - I hope I live long enough to get my autistic grandson out of hospital
www.bbc.com/news/article... the scandal of autistic people imprisoned in hospital carries on with no end in sight despite warm words from governments. They were all supposed to be freed years ago!

Ultimately I reflect on 3 of 4 grandparents and dad in law who had utterly miserable deaths despite v best efforts. I could not insist they had to suffer.

Max safeguards and EoL focus - absolutely

Will it go wrong? - yes, as do cars, booze, Internet etc

Fascinating differences between fields

My mother suffered and died in agony. Despite "hospice at home". She joined Dignitas but didn't have a spare £15k

An EU spokesperson said something. The media reported it. That's their job!

My mother's agonised death took place "behind closed doors" - at home. There wasn't enough morphine to keep her out of pain. Despite outreach from our local hospice, her GP, community nurses... NOONE should have the right to force someone to endure such torments

How UK's highest court is about to decide what a 'woman' is A long-running row over how to define a women is set to come to a head at the UK Supreme Court

On Tuesday, the UK Supreme Court will consider the definition of a woman. My preview of this groundbreaking case in the Scotsman www.scotsman.com/news/opinion...

And that fawning attitude to male privilege ironically helped Trump win. Male desires do not outweigh women's reality.
Both Dems and Trumpsters harm women but Dems pretend they are good people while enabling sex offenders

There’s nobody in journalism whose integrity and judgment I value more than that of Paul Webster, who retired last week as editor of the Observer. If you’ve valued Observer journalism in recent years please read his X thread about the Scott Trust’s potential sale of the Observer.

Quite. Hancock out of his depth as per usual

Stories were told for millennia before Samuel Richardson put Pamela between covers... I love a good book but I can't see how listening is in any way inferior to reading

Obviously @brianbilston.bsky.social is the best poet on social media but...

An example of Acción Ortográfica Quito doing the Lord's work (graffiti on a wall corrected with red spray paint)

Many commentators say that vigilante groups are never the answer. But they clearly don't know about the masked Ecuadorian trio named “Acción Ortográfica Quito,” who roam the streets at night with a singular purpose: to correct all the spelling and grammar mistakes they find in graffiti.

Looks like an interesting job

So... have we all abandoned Twitter?
