This happened to @thingsgretasays when her needs re autism weren’t being met. You’re pressured to drag your child into an inappropriate setting, until their mental health deteriorates into full breakdown. Or: be taken to tribunal, fined, labeled „enabling“ & loose further help. https://t.co/bqKNdGbFAY

Balloons are weird, aren't they? "Happy Birthday! Here is a PLASTIC SAC of my BREATH."

G: Theory re vampires: They can't get sun, lack vit D, therefore drink blood.
Clara: Why don't they take a tablet?
G: Because they're IDIOTS

C: And if not?
G: Eeerm...
