Me again @opinion.bsky.social · 22/05/2026Post 1/3 Posting again because I am still absolutely furious. Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson has dismissed the backlash over the Gemma Collins DfE video as “outright snobbery” and a “killjoy attitude.” Let’s be crystal clear: parents aren’t being snobs. We are traumatized. 100
Me again @opinion.bsky.social · 22/05/2026Post 1/3 The DfE's new Gemma Collins campaign is an insult to families living the reality of our broken SEND system. It pushes a glossy, light hearted, narrative of "tenacity" while schools actively fail neurodivergent kids. My daughter is 16, in profound autistic burnout, & studying GCSEs at home. 100

The US - where most of it happened - released 3.5 million documents with a disclaimer saying anything implicating Trump is false. Zero arrests. Justice is happening. Just elsewhere. 000

Me again @opinion.bsky.social · 24/04/2026King Charles has met Mugabe, Gaddafi, various autocrats. Unpleasant - but predictable. They understood diplomatic theatre. Trump doesn't.

Me again @opinion.bsky.social · 12/02/2025They say many women go under the radar - not realising they may be autistic themselves until one of their children goes through the assessment and diagnosis process. That was certainly a catalyst for greater self-reflection for me... and this Facebook memory from 2015 also adds food for thought! 🤣 200
