12 yo coming up with increasingly elaborate guesses with what WAP stands for (we haven't told him) and wine are brightening an otherwise grim evening. Take care y'all x

Child Poverty % (children living in households below the minimum wage)
Denmark 2.4%
Finland 3.2%
Norway 3.6%

@OpenUniversity Learning I absolutely could finish a full time degree, work full time and raise a teenager at the same time has given me huge confidence and faith in myself I never knew I had! Also lots of transferable skills in research and communication which helped at work

As we get to the end of Pride month this year I decided to make some artwork to celebrate the multitude of LGBT+characters across the history of DW. FYI It’s always been woke, it’s all right here.

Emotional self-regulating is really hard with ADHD. I freaked out after work today and was on my own a couple of hours. I'm sure that it is healthy to just sit with those feelings and not act on them. But after this week I feel like I have been grated, like cheese.
