@ConnorScottG You could potentially apply to access to a PA through Access to Work, I have seen someone I follow on YouTube do that for ADHD, I don't know the process though sorry. Available if you are self-employed too.
This is something that's probably going to not see much coverage in the Anglosphere, but yesterday, a press briefing for the new clinical guideline for trans youth in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland was published. (1/12)
Last week, a blue plaque was installed on campus to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the UK’s first trans conference.
Entitled ‘Transvestism and Transsexualism in Modern Society’, it was the first event of its kind to be organised by trans people for trans people 🧵👇

In response to my column, The Guardian would like to hear from disabled people who are worried about going into a care home because of social care cuts - or have already had to go in one. Would be great if you could share. https://t.co/LrUn2CscmQ

Anonymous question
“How do young academics or junior scholars with chronic diseases navigate their academic careers? Would you disclose your conditions to the board? I will be taking a postdoc position in the coming months, and I am super excited. Yet also anxious about my chronic disease that could ruin this new role, and I haven't told the supervisor about my condition.”

A good thesis is a finished thesis.
A great thesis is a published thesis.
A perfect thesis is neither.
Stop going round in perfectionistic circles and get it done.

Young Corei was a trans teen who deserved to grow up to be a trans adult. His mum shared that he was ‘targeted and suffered anti-trans hate online’ 😞
