@HelenEva8 I have heard us described as canaries in the coal mine - things going wrong for autistics is the first indicator that something is wrong overall, whether that's management or the environment. Just because others aren't affected yet doesn't mean they won't be.
@burgoynejw @bunsenbernerbmd My Labrador developed the same habit for a while. The day he left a Ziggy Stardust style yellow zig zag stripe across a white dog's head was probably the worst. Just had to walk away and pretend he wasn't mine.
@bunsenbernerbmd I was in the Navy and we could have our dogs in the office. A very senior Admiral came on a VIP visit. Everyone being very formal, saluting and calling him Sir and opening doors. Jack bounded straight over over and stuck his nose in his crotch.
@HelenEva8 An Army colleague of mine (Guards regiment) had to rush off to the medical centre for stitches after cutting his hand open slicing an avocado for his breakfast toast.
Although tbf I once got a paper cut from a Daunt's bookmark.

Amazing day at @disrupt_defence today, and a privilege to share a platform with the brilliant Lucia Retter from @RANDEurope. Thanks to all at @PUBLIC_Team for organising such a varied and insightful event.
It’s dog’s work making fusion happen!
The JET lab had a successful test that released 59 mega joules of energy- that’s enough to boil 60 kettles.
It’s not a TON of energy, but double a previous test and proof that Doc Oc was right- you can make an artificial sun

This week is sexual abuse and violence awareness week.
More than half of people don't seek help after sexual assault or abuse, but Sexual Assault Referral Centres are here to provide 24/7 medical, emotional or practical support.

@michaelcoren Thank you for doing this. My nana had a strong and pragmatic relationship with God that greatly influenced me. She was in a nursing home for the last years of her life and being able to attend worship there thanks to visiting clergy brought her such comfort and happiness.
