RIP, #FaithRinggold , pioneering US artist/activist.

This is ridiculous. I feel sorry for the lady, but also for the police officers, who cannot have thought this was a rational action.

Adopters - when adult adoptees are passionate about the adoption trauma they have experienced - & you get offended, defensive, & advise us to get therapy … you’re actually acknowledging, adoption is traumatic.

Adoptees are 4x more likely to commit suicide than their peers. 🤔

Because I hold anger and pain and emotions in me as an #adoptee does not mean that I didn't love my adoptive parents. But, I was never given the space to truly process any of my emotions by them. Or frankly, by society. And at my big age, I'm still trying to untangle all of it.

Parenting done right!.

My older son knows that he can always come home.

My younger son frequently tells me that he isn't growing up and that he is always staying with me.

It makes me sad to know that many kids, and adults children, do not have that.

I’m speaking out from my hospital bed about Nicolas Hamilton’s comments and the lack of challenging from the Loose Women pannelists in response.

My life is not bleak.

The women's kit does not appear to have been designed by a woman.

Or for women.

The neighbour behind me has a cherry blossom tree and I look forward to it flowering every year.

The older I get, the more I appreciate the beauty of nature.

So, which of my #UnpaidCarer friends are also still up?

I have no idea how we are both still awake here. Maybe tomorrow will bring a lie in?

This is powerful.

I cannot understand how gun violence keeps happening in American schools. Why are so many people more concerned about their “right” to bear arms than they are about the rights of children to not be shot in school.

People who say 'you can't pour from an empty cup' clearly haven't seen my magical cup. Though, I have to admit, the magic is running low right now.

Son needed the toilet. Hoisting at 1230am on no sleep is no fun.

I thought my son has finally gone to sleep, then he shouted. Again.

This may be why I am so tired.

If we want to make this country one which supports & values people with Downs Syndrome & addresses stigma/discrimination then we need to invest properly in education, social care, better healthcare, better social opportunities for people with learning disabilities🧵

Not read it (yet😆) but it sounds fab.

Just so very tired, yet struggling to sleep.

Is it carer burnout, perimenopause, maybe just normal for a 49 year old doing what I do 24/7 or is it something else?

Do I even have the energy to explore further?

A friend has had her powerchair damaged on a BA flight from the USA to Heathrow.

Wheelchair repair service say it is unsafe to use as the seat isn't secure.

How does she force BA to pay for repair or replacement if it is a writeoff. Value is ~£1500 new. #RightsOnFlights

Good grief, they're not scholars, they're children. Just because we can do something, it doesn't mean that we should. Young children are not mini-adults, we can't complain about children not being 'school ready' if we're not giving them what they need when they need it.
