Those interested in levelling the legal playing field in the Primodos court battle - this is where the disabled campaigners are crowdfunding… crowdfunder.co.uk/p/associat… It’s not even taking sides really because you are already paying for one legal team through your taxes.

If local papers up and down the country are getting letters like this one, I’m guessing things must be pretty tricky “on the doorstep” for Tory MPs nowadays - small boats or no small boats.

Our thoughts are with all those affected by the tragic events in Kingsthorpe yesterday. It's OK not to be OK, if you have been affected and need someone to talk to about your feelings and emotions, there are lots of local services that can help @NHFTNHS @thelowdownNN1

Thank you to the Turkish animal rescuers every life matters #TurkishEarthquake
VIDEO: Every day since the deadly February 6 earthquake, rescue workers from HAYTAP, the Turkish Animal Rights Federation, are scouring the rubble in Antakya. They have been pulling cats, dogs, rabbits, cows and pigeons from the ruins.

Despite my vast years of experience/classical training, can confirm that Deputy Head Girl unanimously won Yorkshire Pudding-Gate Dance Off. My head stand, figure-hugging elf suit & world-class dad-dancing just wasn't enough in the end. Happy kids definitely make better learners❤️

This story is framed in a particular way - as bad behaviour which needs to be controlled.Behaviour is a way that children demonstrate distress or show us things aren’t right in their life.What if we framed it as ‘Many of our kids are not OK. How can we improve things for them?’

What if this isn't a kid being cute, but a kid coping with shaming? This Santa video is making the rounds again, w/ folks saying 'how funny, how adorable'. I'm going to show you the sadness, anger, surprise & distrust that so easily goes unseen by us adults. A THREAD.
Tis officially the season to bring back this classic 😂😂

On Research and Design, we were lucky to have @Lauren_Race, who always made sure we worked WITH other disabled people and not just for other disabled people.

Wifey always knew when I was talking to @BrettLewisJudo due to my non-stop laughter. He is responsible for bringing the ALT badge to the web. While he worked on the web client, he is not limited to web technologies. Expert screen reader user, one of the best.
