Director Emerick wrote a Facebook post that I encourage you to read. This really is the experience of disabled kids at MPS right now—and the experience of their invisibility to far too many. It does usually seem to be that no one who hasn’t experienced this cares.
Joyner Emerick

People do realize that students with disabilities, including chronic trauma that manifests as observable/ externalized behavior, change "placements" all the time, right?

From public to specialized charter, from federal setting Ill to IV and back, from district to district, on administrative transfer, on IEP team decision, in and out of residential treatment facilities, in and out of carceral facilities, because of push-out, because of bullying, because of neglect/abuse at school, because of LEA legal non-compliance, because of physical space/facilities access, because of programmatic or staff availability.

Students with disabilities absorb frequent changes to where they go to school because of the failures of our systems of education to serve them, teach them, keep them safe. In many cases, these placement changes actually represent a district breaking federal law, but families don't have the resources to fight back.

In almost four years on the school board I've gotten ZERO constituent emails expressing concern about how the leadership decisions that create that reality impact the friendships of students with disabilities, their sense of place and well-being, their educational trajectory, or their family capacity.

Try it with abled kids, though, and it's a very different story.
There is NOTHING inherent to children with disabilities that makes them better able to handle these changes, which are nearly never based on the preference or convenience of the family, but instead based on acute daily safety considerations or forced on families by administrative process.
Why will we fight to protect "stability of placement" for abled kids but say nothing about the continuous placement destabilization for kids with disabilities?

Well, this just adds to my theory that the reason I got my autism diagnosis though the right to choose scheme was my doctor took my symptoms seriously, even when I didn’t, (I didn’t expect to actually be autistic- long story) and yet again why this gov sucks

Job hunting sucks, at least I didn’t leave the interview with the ‘I’m def not getting the job interview’ which is an improvement over last time, not sure saying I’m dyslexic, autistic, and adhd was a good idea

It takes a special kind of hell to know I’ll be walking up two very distressed guinea pigs, (well snowball) and that they’ll need to see one another again, (they were separated for a good reason and could hear and smell one another) and more vet bills

Almost certainly the best photograph I have ever taken from an Iron Age hillfort of the sun setting over an estuary as summer segues majestically into autumn.
The sun setting over the Severn Estuary, as viewed from the top of Uley Bury, Gloucestershire.

PSA: Andy Burnham has presided over the imposition of trans segregation and the use imposition of trans Section 28 in schools. Just in his first 6 weeks in power he has imposed more transphobic measures than any other PM ever.
Andy Burnham is the most transphobic

If I ever had a rant on pets and children it would be, guinea pigs are not an appropriate pet for children and if the parents don’t like or aren’t prepared to do the work of caring for them, don’t buy them!

In Biscarrosse, southwestern France, horses were set free into the wild to escape fast-moving wildfires. Hundreds of thousands of people have been evacuated in Europe due to the fires.

Listen, i work in historic preservation and conservation and this headline is misleadingly skipping the key point: this specifically and pointedly destroys the protections for Native American sacred sites. built heritage matters but not as much as the rights of indigenous folk.

one thing that I hate about ADHD is that I need to be hyper interested, extremely stressed, etc. to really get into something. no gears beyond locked in or kinda listless. this isn't a quirk chungus so wacky thing, it's a character flaw that makes my life worse.

I think one reason data center outrage is so pronounced is people spent decades recycling and composting and otherwise scrimping to offset energy use and protect clean water, and the second we hit an inflection point for cheap electricity the banking industry said we’re taking all of it, fuck you

A line that stayed with me from an old hiking book: > The safest place to store water in hot weather is in your body. People have died of dehydration with water still in their canteens. this isn't a metaphor for anything. finish your water bottle.
