I'd really like it @johnharris1969.bsky.social if you did a follow up in areas that have Reform MPs. Know Runcorn has seen nothing change in fact I'd say it's worse. Go check out places that did vote in Reform. πŸ™

Tinkering with Pimoroni's new Badger 2350, powered by the #raspberrypi #RP2350 I've written an app to get the names of the astronauts on the International Space Station using the built in Wi-Fi and a little JSON magic.

Watching @jamestalarico.bsky.social from the UK (Who apprently has issues with free speech/freedoms) the day we start arresting and investigating #Epstein associates over here.

Thinking.... they banned this? They really banned this interview? Wow.

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.

And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

Despite a great diet, medical level deficiency treatment. Hardly any movement at all in many cases got lower. Unreal.

Not taking in the iron, or magnesium or HRT patches, or vitamin d, or anything we thought i was...not so great. No wonder I feel awful. Trying different method round 357.

Question #EDS lot are you absorbing anything your being given ? Vitamins, HRT, medication? Cause I am demonstrable not at all here after a mind blogging deep dive with my GP.

Round 356 of stuff driving me insane. These post treatment results are worse than when I started. 😳

Photocopiers with ink and paper that works, visualise, mini whiteboard. Truly the teacher version of 'omg the photocopier works' like some miracle from god!

I took the time to send an email to a mentor thanking him for his impact on me & he wrote back to say how much it meant to him.

I highly recommend doing this, especially for your teachers. we keep them in little folders & reread them when we feel like we can’t go on.

Telepathy Tapes: a hot, complicated mess Autistic AAC users may overflow with empathy and understanding, but they do not exist to bring other people healing radiance, no more than any human does.

Looks like yet another study confirms that the reason there are more autistic people today is because the world got better at recognizing autistic people. From @ejwillingham.bsky.social in the latest TPGA newsletter. Please share, and subscribe if you haven't already!

We might have lots of tory MPs moving to reform. But I'd like #Journalists to check out the weird amount of reform councillors ditching reform citing lack of serious politics and chaos.

For me real the person data, has way more validity than anything else, autistic data from autistics, SEND from kids, teachers from classrooms, policy leads from policy. Stats isn't everything.

Lived Experience whether in #Education #Send #AP or general #Neurodivergency #Teachers is never not valid because a scientist can't measure or put it in a model. Expertise is a shared map, not a hierarchy. In #DataSci we accept data is messy, inaccurate and often missing bits!
