How is this repeatedly made into a policy issue - by *all* parties - when the blunt fact of the matter is that grown adults who are obliged to pay for their own education, and relentlessly pursued to repay their loans, should be able to study whatever the fuck they want.

I really wanted to come to this but I had to be in London for work yesterday and knew I would have insufficient spoons.

#AutismArtOfThePossible
Ruth Moyse talks about her past research on autistic children and schools. Every child who wasn't able to attend school said they wished they could attend. But they can't do it. It's impossible for them.

It's not school 'refusal'. They can't access the school.

I think it's improving, she will let me handle it now and the redness seems to have reduced but she's still limping.

We are currently cuddled up together feeling sorry for ourselves

But in financial terms, it makes no difference, as Labour still allows energy co's to charge you as if all the electricity is generated by gas.
You get ripped off and they make record profits.

Trans people have been here as long as humans have existed. We pre-date Christians by millennia. They’re the ones with the f’ing ideology. 🀬

Do a few lengths for me! I should be at the lake but have cancelled as full of cold (covid test negative). Been battling it since Sunday but it definitely won yesterday after a day in London with all new people

I think today will be spent mostly sleeping. Done a covid test but it's definitely a cold - at least I haven't given my new colleagues covid before I even start!!

Well they are a lot less frightening without their special chair and torture devices, sorry, dental instruments

#AskingAutistics Am I better at masking when a i've had a wine, or do i just no longer notice how bad I am at masking?!

They can't tell what it is - they think she might have cut it (which fits it came on really suddenly when she came in from the garden). Have given us doggie paracetamol and we have to go back in a couple of days if not better. 🀞🀞🀞she's heals quick - hate it when my doggies are unwell/in pain

My poor baby is limping - poor Roo dog stepped on something in the garden last night and this morning it's worse and she doesn't want to put the foot on the ground at all, and growls if you so much as touch near it to try and look.

@mriscott.bsky.social taking her to vet - waiting to hear

It's why we're called Cassandras, I know, but there's something violent about being treated as mentally fragile for observing objective reality, because that makes people who are in denial feel safer and more in control.

Been here since 2020, but WHEW it's irritating everytime.
