It is my hope (or naivety) that in the future (preferably utopian) that the NHS will offer such tests as preventive medicine, rather than reactive medicine (assuming they are accurate of course)
I have seen similar results from UK private testing. Patients understandably expect tests they see heavily advertised to be accurate and meaningful. Often they aren't
I have magic beans available to swap for a modest detached home π‘
According to this, I am a lesbian... Close enough π
Franceβs former PM Dominique de Villepin has called for Israel and the USA to be sanctioned over their illegal acts of war.
Everyone else is, why not them?
They didn't die in vain.
But I'm stubborn as those garbage bags
That Time cannot decay
I'm junk but I'm still holding up
This little wild bouquet
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A
~ Leonard Cohen
I'm sentimental, if you know what I mean
I love the country but I can't stand the scene
And I'm neither left or right
I'm just staying home tonight
Getting lost in that hopeless little screen
Whenever someone starts talking about the 'free market,' it's a good idea to look around for the many with the gun. He's never far away."
From David Graeber's Utopia Of Rules.
Uta Frith's article on separating early diagnosed autism from high functioning autism feels very vague & more budgetary, than a scientific consensus. Hyper sensitivity is very real, disabling & monumentally undiagnosed. One could argue that the trauma of delayed diagnosis causes more complex issues.
Happy Lady Day π
Uta Frith recent pronouncement on how βhigh functioningβ autistic people shouldnβt be labeled the same way as βprofoundlyβ autistic people as they are just more sensitive, is not helping my internalised ableism. Just because Iβm not as disabled as some autistic people doesnβt mean Iβm not disabled.
Happy Lady Day π
You can't have a fair country when housing is a speculative asset before it's a human need.

Why is Britain allowing US bombers to take off from bases on our soil to pursue an illegal war that hits almost everyone in Britain in the pocket? This isn't an alliance. It is exploitation, bullying and insults.

No more guns and wars. Enough.

The Courts and Tribunals Bill will remove your right to a jury trial for serious criminal offences.
Toff magistrates/judges will decide your fate.
Chances of miscarriage of justice will increase. Working class, poor, minorities will be the biggest losers.
π¨CONTACT YOUR MP NOW before itβs too late - tag them to this film and ask them to oppose the Prime Ministers appalling plan to undermine and restrict this fundamental cornerstone of our democracy
It's criminal people don't have access to good counselling and psychotherapy. It's nonsensical if we want to be collectively successful as a Nation, not to mention more humane as a society.
My daughter has started to read Oliver Sack's book "The man who mistook his wife for a hat" one of my favourite books.
100% agree. I see many drug addicts in the local area and they are trapped within their addictions. They have no hope of escaping them unless rehab facilities are available and the trauma that is often a root cause for substance abuse is addressed.
The only problem with laws is having the resources to enforce them.
The pro's of decriminalisation is that you remove the gangs in part but it doesn't tackle the addiction or antisocial usage.
Even though I am not religious, the absence of religion in society has left a vacuum for Capitalism to fill. Instead of worshipping some almighty God, people have started to worship money, power and material. It won't be easy to escape our ever increasing immorality π
It is isn't it and then there is all the crime, abuse and grooming that occurs within the illegal drug world.
By the smell coming from the neighbours, there has been a fresh drugs delivery π€’
There is specialised housing for several groups but still not those who suffer with social anxiety and sensory issues. Poor housing is literally killing people and the authorities are trying to put a lid on the data.
