The Court of Protection has refused to let a hospital trust in north-west London withdraw life support from a 60-year-old man described as being in a permanent vegetative state after his two partners spoke about his belief in the power of spiritual healing. rozenberg.substack.com/p/patient-mu...

In my PhD thesis, about what "voice" means in relation to #disability I developed 4 themes: 1. Identity/Self-expression 2. Autonomy/Self-determination 3. Info/knowledge-transfer 4. Pursuing social change This film models the importance of each of these brilliantly. (And Phoebe-Rae Taylor is a ⭐)

Nearly everyone is aware of #autism. We even have our own law - the Autism Act. So why do 91% of #autistic people feel that society does not accept or only sometimes accepts them? Read our article about 'Why we need to understand': www.autism-alliance.org.uk/news/why-we-... #autistic

The world is imploding but here we academics are, producing papers. What we need to graduate, get promoted, get tenure is papers. (barring design schools) Circa 2024, there has to be more tangible immediacy in our output. Capstone projects. Policy campaigns. Activism. Institutions. #AcademicSky

Starter packs are genius, but I was surprised there wasn't a list of them for people to find. So I built it: blueskydirectory.com/starter-pack... The website monitors the packs being shared and adds the ones it finds to the database. Missed your stater pack? Message me and I'll get it added.

I have started a pack for neuro and stroke OT/PT/SLT, to make it easy for people landing. There are some other great more general neuro/neurorehab packs, but this is just to help people landing. Using "neuro" in it's broadest sense and have included some "honorary" AHPs go.bsky.app/2Wvb8C9
