Today's mail from @dailymaverick The subject line of the email emssage says Russian media is
If you scroll to the bottom of the mail, you get this text (extract):

"It is gone.

One of the biggest nations on the planet has lost access to the truth, to information that will allow them to know what is happening, what their autocratic ruler is doing."

"Added to that, just publishing the truth about Russia's invasion of Ukraine will land you in jail for 15 years."

cont'd
"As South Africans, we are not currently embroiled in a physical war, but there is a war on free media. Many have tried to silence us already and will now get a new jolt of inspiration from this new, apocalyptic edition of Putin’s Playbook."

[THREAD] The movement to #BanABA in South Africa is gaining ground. We're now getting through to some of the right people in legislature.
One of the things we need (both locally and internationally) is to help people currently involved in selling, promoting, delivering and buying ABA services to make plans to move out before such bans come into effect.
If we don't start working on this now, we may meet with STRONG opposition, and even if we get the bills to pass, we may have a lot of people going underground or disguising what they do whilst pretending to not use behaviourist practices.

It's not 'growing pains'. There's no such thing.

It's PAEDIATRIC PAIN and it is NOT a normal part of growing up. It hurts because something is wrong.

You should have been believed. You should have had support.
Many people who have responded to this thread had symptoms of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome since childhood.

Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome is thought of as a rare disease, but it's not really that rare. It's just rarely diagnosed, and you can see why: they think you're faking or imagining.
There is an actual Coalition Against Paediatric Pain.

Believe the children.

Your child may have chronic pain and not tell you because they thought everyone feels like that, and they just have to push through.
Your child may have chronic fatigue and they told you they were tired several times when you had things for them to do, but you said, "You can't be tired already, the day has just started."
Your child may know they are different from other children and constantly be trying to figure out why instructions that work for others don't work for them, but you chose to hide their diagnosis from them instead of equipping them with understanding.

I have a question...

Background:
A year or so ago a person diagnosed with BPD told me what it was like, and I was shocked and filled with compassion at the immensity of the experience.
Then, months later, having forgotten about that a bit, I heard someone with temporal lobe epilepsy describe it and I was similarly shocked.
