I've been trying to grow my beard out, but it's a challenge when I need to keep it neat for work and when I do go to a barber they tend to chop too much off. Had a good experience today, thanks to West End Barbers in Worthing. Now I just have to not fiddle with it myself!

The image is of two stick people, one pushing a triangular sign with an exclamation mark up a hill, the other reacting to pain. The text advertises two workshops titles and times - this information is given in my post as well.

My friend @jadefarrington.bsky.social has created an amazing free resource "a community guide to a neurodivergent Christmas" - available for download from jadefarrington.substack.com/p/download-t... x x

A Community Guide to a Happy Neurodivergent Christmas https://jadefarrington.substack.com

Wow! Just received a message from someone who's read A Community Guide to a Happy Neurodivergent Christmas & wants to send it to 1000s of parents & professionals in their newsletter 🥰

The answer was 'Yes please!' This is a free community resource so please share so long as it isn't altered or sold.

Hope you're able to relax this weekend. This is Lizzie, she has run our lives for 12.5 years ...

Thanks - solidarity back to you!

I saw exactly the same arguments used when I went through gay conversion therapy. That being gay was somehow a commercial identity, and it was invented. Exactly the same.

What a horrible article. Did a doctor really say that rather than providing accommodations we should be "addressing the root cause of a condition, or questioning whether a pupil has it at all"? .... That's made me feel sick.

Last night we saw the film "I Swear", a dramatised account of the life of John Davidson. John has Tourette Syndrome, lives with physical & verbals tics, & been the subject of several documentaries during his life. The film currently has 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes, now I know why. It is incredible

I've made it to Bergen, Norway. It's as beautiful as I remember, and very windy. One class down ... two to go.

John stood in front of a stone wall. The text says "Fri 3 to Sun 5 October I'll be in Bergen, Norway teaching three workshops at Kinkferansen."

Fri 3 to Sun 5 October I'll be in Bergen, Norway teaching three workshops at Kinkferansen. Tickets available from www.kinkferansen.no ... more importantly, please let me know if you'll be there. I'll be travelling solo this time!

It depends on the circumstance. If I've been working without a break for a few hours, taking a break could be a short walk. If I'm closer to burnout it could be cancelling social engagements/ the gym/ anything I can let go from my diary. I agree it's tough, but necessary.

Thanks, I've followed them :-)

Thank you!

I had it made for events where I'm teaching.

Thanks for the recommendation - followed!

I've just posted a new entry on my blog. This one is about "Early Warnings Signs of Burnout": www.johnpendal.com/blog.html - it's accompanied by a photo of me hitting my elbow walking through a doorway, which is a sure sign that I'm overdoing things.

Hi everyone - I'm new here. Just finding out what's what before I start posting. If you have any tips for a newbie I'm all ears! :-) Thanks, John
