Louder please! 👏👏👏
People say this to disabled people who have to navigate ableist systems and tbh I think it just sounds like condoning the system

every time someone says “you’ll figure it out, you always do :)” to me the rage burns hotter in my chest. do you know how much work goes into figuring it out???? do you know how tired I am of ALWAYS having to figure it out by myself???
Great to see mention of @SUIG_Scot_Incl 's Framework here -- and that disability is not seen as a dirty word.
Scotland’s approach to special needs education is more inclusive than the rest of the UK – but it doesn’t always work in practice theconversation.com/scotlands-appr… via @ConversationUK
Do you know what I love in a week where my whole family has been sick, work has been mad and my daughter is performing in a drama show EVERY NIGHT? Watching Bob and Paul going fishing. It’s such a tonic (and yes I know I’m old)

I’ve been meaning to read Rob Delaney’s book about the death of his wee boy for such a long time. And so here I am having cried in this cafe 3 times before the end of chapter 1. The love just bursts out of this book. It’s a tough read but I think it’s going to be worth it ❤️❤️
