A short thread about an Uber driver who picked me up from the @PHMMcr exhibition tonight. [Can't get him out of my head.] 1. There was a bit of confusion and we ended up with two extra Deaf passengers who were going in a kind of similar direction. 2.

Well the exhibition is stunning. Superb work @PHMMcr and thank you @Aliswilde for thinking of the #JusticeforLB quilt. Close enough to see every detail. Photo of the exhibition, the quilt and other campaign signs/ Quilt patches, with red buses, stitched wording, a sparrow h

On Connor’s 27th birthday, a short thread of chuckles. First up, pygmy goats. mydaftlife.com/2012/02/18/pyg… And then there was his first (possibly only) bunking off school. mydaftlife.com/2012/01/29/bun…

Important thread. Here's some additional thoughts. Why does the APPG on Learning Disability need to listen to any more inpatient atrocity stories? It comes across as voyeuristic and parasitic, takes up time that should be used to plan strategic and effective action. We know. We all know.

So, given the latest in the never ending cycle of scandals, here’s a little foray in to @cygnethealth CQC ratings. [Spoiler: not one exceptional.]

Mandatory training is a red herring that will not touch the careless, almost pedestrian dismissal of certain people as not really human. #YewTrees The layers of failing here are so intense, and what people must have experienced so unimaginable, my head is tense aching.

Book 2 out tomorrow. Critically re-reading it with as many mixed feelings I felt writing it. Image Wondering if it should be a rallying call for all of us. The start of a crowdsourced conversation around brilliance and bar smashing...

Said goodbye yesterday to my auntie P. Her coffin carried by her granddaughters, daughter and daughter in law. Described [consistently described] as ‘very unassuming’. A life of quiet adventure, love of nature, music, poetry, knitting. Of holding uncompromising positions.

So looking forward to this version of @BSAMedsoc on Thursday. Cracking sessions, can cheekily crochet behind the mute/camera off button and... ... avoid the (too often exclusionary) chumminess of a staid old conference set up.👊

We've reached the point at which local authorities are paying ["sharp elbowed"] parents to move out of county with their problem offspring. #Panorama Image @Kent_cc said the offer was made because it understood the family wanted to move. Wow. I wonder how many other families have been offered this? [None.]

Pam from @MyLifeMyChoice, Angeli @OxFSN, @DanielDochert18 by phone via @DrMelChapman, Stuart supported by @mencap_charity (rare shout out well deserved).

Attended a (virtual) meeting earlier with a mate who has been trying to sort a life for her adult son for years on years. Some wider reflections. Professionals can make unsubstantiated statements in reports, emails or minutes and these are held to be fact.

Thanks to @MxOolong I can have a graze of the latest @Autism annual report. s4.chorus-mk.thirdlight.com/file/157322490… [Hold on to your hats, it's quite a ride.] Kicking off with quite a (n unsubstantiated) claim which has generated prickles on the back of my hands. Image

Fallen down a rabbit hole coming across the deeply inappropriate @mencap_charity CEO, Fred Heddell, CEO, 1990-2002. “Charities should not prostitute themselves for money.” No. marketingweek.com/the-limits-of-… No one comes out of this particularly well.

Fascinating Guardian article I remember reading back in the day. theguardian.com/theguardian/20… featuring Michael Edwards, @mylifemychoice1. "At the time [1974], people with learning difficulties were facing bigotry and prejudice as potent as racism and sexism."

Here's further evidence of the Trust rubbishing the Mazars review as the findings were so (so) damning. @Jeremy_Hunt unfortunately swallowed this. Image The screengrab is aptly named bollocks.
