Hey one of the largest disability support providers in the country has COMPLETELY RUN OUT OF MONEY and no one is hearing me SCREAM IT FROM THE HILLTOPS. Please boost this and please send it to your MPs.

Yesterday I was told that even though my kōtiro now qualifies for NASC, we would not be able to access any supports because the funding body has completely run out of cash. I needed to do something productive instead of spiral so I wrote. kahukurascout.substack.com/p/at-least-o...
At least one large disability support provider has completely run out of funding to provide support to autistic people.

"Waiting for Gorey" is my tribute to Edward Gorey (with a dash of Samuel Beckett) for the Phantasmagorey show at Custom House, Leith in Edinburgh. The show features forty other artists and is open for two more days.

A crosshatched pen and ink drawing. A moonlit landscape, empty except for a spindly tree with a single leaf, and a low flat stone. A bearded man in a large fur coat stands with his hands in his pockets and a strange, black creature wearing a striped scarf and sneakers sits on the stone. Neither looks happy. Below are the words "They wait and wait till things turn glum -- but Mister Gorey does not come"
