At the same time, it's extremely hard to access vaccines for under 12s. If you think this is wrong, please sign and share https://t.co/vc5FvJzQ7J

I’m a Professor of Law and I have ADHD. I waited 6 yrs for a diagnosis on the NHS. My only regret is I didn’t go private and get a diagnosis earlier. The BBC panorama is dangerous as it may deter people from getting a diagnosis. Sharing this to remove the stigma around #ADHD.

@HowtoADHD @danidonovan Doing an IBNU just now - filing my US taxes. I'm overseas so it's not late BUT it absolutely will be late next week. But I've got loads of extra forms to fill in because I'm overseas. ARGH.

Eisenhower matrix FTW. Also, partners who don't mind forms are a lifesaver.

How do you teach engineers to write? This is an easy instruction from Maria #soapconf

[Ducky Marshall 🚲 (they/them) @dnwood]

So exciting to be on a panel with folk in other roles in the industry! Really enjoying #soapconf @soapconf

I have DM'd but your support team can apparently only assist if I can sign in to view the conversation. I can't sign in. Can you please have someone email me directly rather than through the support system? Thanks!

@AirbnbHelp someone is using my email address for their account. I can't create a password because I don't know their other account details. How do I remove my email address from their account?!

@Relair4 @POPScotland It's not the posters that need coverage, really, it's the masses of people that gather. Anyone could get hurt during an event under the PoP banner. So far no one has but that doesn't mean it's impossible!

@LayMedusa @BBCScotNine If they're not using the path then there will be a reason for it. Often they're poorly connected to other routes, are covered in debris and other obstacles, and poorly lit. People will use the safest and most convenient route. If they're not using it then it needs to be improved.

@BBCMoreOrLess re: "data is" versus "data are" — don't think of it as singular or plural. It's evolved (as language is wont to do) to be a "mass noun" (as opposed to a "count noun") like furniture. Furniture is, pieces of furniture are. Data is, pieces of data are.

@alisonatkin I remember this being mentioned in a movie but I genuinely can't remember which one!!

@ADHD_Alien One of the main struggles to me has been the fact that a lot of identity is based on the stuff you do. Me having a strict difficulty to DO things generates this sort of dichotomy between my intentions and actions and so I feel I'm never living up to myself /lose sense of who i am

@Browtweaten I sang this as a kid in CT, USA but no one here in Scotland, UK has heard of it. Where does this come from?
