Reminder that hidden disabilities are a thing and that just because someone doesn't appear disabled doesn't mean they're not and if someone says they're autistic and they don't look disabled, they are likely struggling with things you can't see.

Thanks for coming to my Ted talk🙏🏻

@NeurologistMom @darkspookers What if your immune system was overactive ( mcas ) how would covid affect that ?

@SketchesbyBoze @Squijibo This is so sad they are missing out on so much joy by not reading! My grandson is only 15 months but seems interested in books maybe because he sees me and his Mam read all the time. Hope it continues into adult hood

It's #worldswiftday I painted these swifts in Bristol to support @WriterHannahBT's campaign for mandatory swift bricks in all newbuild housing. @UKLabour reneged on their opposition promises when they achieved power, kowtowing to the developers. @scotgov passed it into law!

Anyone ever find out what happened to our £28,000,000,000 spent on Test & Trace which didn’t really work or the billions spent on PPE which had to be burnt because it was out of date or unsuitable? And what happened to the charming Michell Mone, still on her yacht?

A municipality near Copenhagen, Denmark, is testing an unusual solution to a growing environmental concern: light pollution.

In Gladsaxe, sections of road and a busy cycle path have been fitted with red-spectrum LED streetlights instead of conventional white lighting. The aim is to maintain safe visibility for people while reducing the impact of artificial light on local wildlife.

Research has shown that bright white lighting can interfere with the natural behaviour of many nocturnal species. Bats, in particular, can be affected, with some avoiding lit areas and others changing their feeding habits.

The red lighting used in the Danish trial is designed to be less disruptive to bats. The scheme also incorporates dark gaps between illuminated sections, creating wildlife corridors that allow light-sensitive animals to move more freely through the area.

Despite the change in colour, the lighting still complies with safety requirements for pedestrians and cyclists. Project leaders believe the initiative demonstrates that urban safety and nature conservation can coexist.

As cities continue to grow, light pollution is increasingly recognised as an environmental issue, influencing insects, birds, mammals, and even plant life. Researchers are now monitoring the project to assess its long-term effectiveness.

If the results are positive, the approach could offer a practical template for other cities seeking to reduce their ecological footprint. Sometimes a simple adjustment, such as changing the type of street lighting used, can make a meaningful difference.

More premature death, reduced quality of life, worsening mental health and hospital admissions.

@PatsKam It was a good year apart from people dying from covid. I loved lockdown I so so many animals, it was so good for nature. Self care was so easy when there was no pressure to go anywhere. I was working in a care home which gave me ptsd ,but I loved the lockdown bit.

@SalvMattera Also they suppose that these accommodations will be given in the first place , even if by law they should be

@Fiona35352137 @Darren081273 @karend0609 @thetimes She does not pay nothing though she pays most of her pension , you are been very judgemental about this woman, making assumptions about her because presumably she told you she didnt work , do you really know enough about her life to judge her?

[Lynne Henderson @lynnery38]

@Fiona35352137 @xueyan94600 @lostinallypally @thetimes If a person couldnt get a care home place they need because that dont have a house that would not be fair.

[Dr Jay Watts @Shrink_at_Large]

One of the grimmest political tricks of the last 15 years has been convincing the public that disabled people are a bigger economic threat than tax avoidance, private outsourcing failures, or housing costs.

You wouldn’t tell someone with cancer they could cure themselves with mind body therapies

You wouldn’t say those with HIV made themselves sick with negative thoughts

The psychologizing of patients with complex chronic illness is one of the most damaging parts of being disabled

[David It Up! @Dave_it_up]

We’re a primary care practice in Vermont. We implemented a practice-wide protocol screening every patient at every encounter for recent SARS-CoV-2 infection history. What we’re observing in our panel is not consistent with a psychosomatic framework.

We’re seeing measurable, objective increases in new-onset hypertension, acute cardiovascular events, new-onset allergic disease, and new-onset type 2 diabetes mellitus, all temporally correlated with infection history. These are not symptom reports. These are clinical findings.

@DiaryofaSickGrl Pregnancy seems to have been a trigger for me too, mcas in paticular. I had my daughter at 28. 55 nearly now and menopause seems to have been one of the things that made it even worse.

@beyond_capital @SillyPutty78 Although for those of us with allergies plastic is a necessary evil , as long as its not plant based

.@Nigel_Farage "Pure cold rage" you asked for it. You got it.
A 72-year-old Sikh pensioner had his head stamped on. Cheekbone shattered. Six teenagers arrested.

Your words have consequences. Your silence is complicity.

Happy now? 👑

[Jen Wood - est optimum simpliciter @unojen_wood]

The hysteria the media are whipping up about welfare must STOP. They are deliberately allowing lies & misinformation to be spouted by MP's & Ministers. Not one actually knows or understands how the system works, they seem to simply copy and paste whatever the Mail says.
STOP IT.

[Sam @SamCKx]

Less than 18 hours ago, the brave and dignified father of Henry Nowak appealed to the nation to not use his son’s death to create further division.

“We want to use Henry’s heartbreaking story to make change for the better. We do not want his death to create further division, hatred or tension.”

Nigel Farage clearly has different plans as he exploits that family’s unimaginable loss and pain to further his own political ambitions, and create more of the division his party is thriving on:

“I suggest the rest of us respond to this with pure, cold, rage.”
