"The object of life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid sideways, totally worn out, shouting holy shit, what a ride" - Mavis Leyrer via Moji Rising by @TheDOLectures (A great reminder for a mother of a child with epilepsy)
My daughter’s school announced yesterday it’s shutting down.
No warning. Just shutting down. 100s of distraught kids.
Why? Labour’s tax hikes on school fees & NI hikes on staff.
A high-quality, nurturing school forced to close because of greedy, arrogant taxation.
Disgusting.
All it does is pile more pressure on overcrowded state schools.
How can ANYONE justify taxing education. Labour are destroying the very foundations of our children’s future.
What an absolute disgrace. @UKLabour
@chillychrisy Chris, I would love to get your view on something before the vote tomorrow. Isn’t the Labour plan for private schools only going to create a deeper divide between the ‘super rich’ and everyone else? How is this right for our society?

Our eldest son had a very complex day at school yesterday. Let’s leave it at that. Big feelings, big lessons learned, big conversations. He was completely overwhelmed when we picked him up. Tears and all. But because we have redesigned our life for the last 8 years around present parenting, flexible remote work schedules, and intentional slowness, we were able to take him for a walk in the forest, listen to everything that happened in the day, and connect in the way he needed us to be there for him. Yesterday was a massive moment for the growth and development of his character and it was essential that we were there as his parents, in a nonstressed state. I haven’t been able to stop thinking “what would happen if @franziskagonder and I both worked corporate jobs and could never be there when our kids need us for this?” And then I remember that this is a big part of why so many adults turn out the way they do.
@kategarraway … I know, from our own experience, that no one can really understand how you feel unless they are going through the same. Thank you for educating us all though, and for reminding us how precious each day is.
@kategarraway My son developed epilepsy this year and I have been grieving the two years of carefree partnership we enjoyed together before this. Your documentary reminded me of perspective and how lucky we are in some ways. What you and Derek are going through is phenomenally difficult and…
