A little one in my family has recently had their autism diagnosis confirmed and is very clearly going to need a lot of support throughout their education, their mum is pushing for an EHCP. Putting them in a "fight like hell every few years to stop us from writing off your kid" us grotesque.
The Labour government is going to absolutely gut SEND provision, especially when it comes to neurodivergent kids. From The Times exposé last night

For ages in my workplace, the most active use of pamphlet boxes was for disguising cups of tea, cafetieres etc carried through the library from the office to the staff room, as hot drinks were banned for students and we were supposed to set a good example.
Can you think of examples where people use technologies differently from what the developers intended, whether unintentionally or as an act of resistance?

Inherited these 4 years ago when my great aunt died & they've sat forgotten in my mum's house til today. Taking them for resizing tomorrow, along with Tim's dad's old ring, ready for a Special Thing later in the year. Just realised it'll be Valentine's & feel like a corny old numpty.

May Labour's Yvette Cooper, the former Home Secretary, be remembered always as the politician who imposed the ban at the behest of Britain's powerful weapons industry, so it could continue to profit from the deliberate massacre of the people of Gaza

Volunteered for this in my workplace for a bit a while ago and it was fun and interesting but poorly resourced and supervised, hives were in a less than ideal location and we kept losing colonies. I'm sure employers are keen to front the cash & time off required to make this actually useful 🤔

1. Mayo is the single most disgusting concoction ever devised. It serves no purpose. Sorry your food is dry, make it better next time. Even a sandwich cut with a knife that had once had mayo on it is instantly ruined

Finding penpals off Teletext, exchanging 2-3 handwritten letters with another kid halfway across the country before both giving up because your shared hobbies are too generic to have anything interesting to talk about
Without revealing your actual age,what's something you remember that if you told a younger person they wouldn't understand?

Breaking the tab off the video tape so you didn't accidentally record over your copy of Blazing Saddles that you had taped off the telly, painstakingly editing out the commercials

En kvinna, utklädd till rosa Power Ranger, hackade datingsida för högerextrema. Hon raderade hela sidan, men först fick hon användarna att bli kära i AI-botar som hon drev och fick på så sätt ut information om dem. Över 8000 högerextrema profiler har nu kartlagts.

unbelievable to see starmerites excuse this in the replies. you cannot ‘support international law’ *and* welcome a ‘transition’ undertaken illegally by attacking a country and kidnapping its head of state
Keir Starmer explicitly backs Trump's attack on Venezuela.
Says he has "long supported" getting rid of Maduro, who is an "illegitimate President" and "we shed no tears about the end of his regime".

We’re with America all the way, no matter what they do. Because if the American government gets burned for their obvious crimes, these assholes will also go up like a Roman candle.

Not sure what it says about the quality of my hangovers these days that my first reaction to this was "want that" despite having been vegetarian for ~25 years & finding McDonald's generally repulsive 😔
Finally, Trump's diet! Oh my god. The piece closes with RNC Chair Joe Gruters saying he was "shocked" to witness Trump eat "french fries, a McDonald’s Quarter Pounder hamburger, a Big Mac and a Filet-O-Fish" in one sitting (5/6)

Calls for individuals to be stripped of their citizenship to protect public safety are going to turn into calls for entire sections of the populace to get the same treatment so fast, it will make your head spin.

Managed to get through making Christmas lunch with the chronic back pain, but got overwhelmed by it before we'd finished eating. Has taken over most of my afternoon/evening, as is becoming the norm. 6 months since 1st physio appt, pain is worsening and no one can tell me what's wrong.
