Absolutely sick to death of this Arsenal team. Compete inability to turn up in big games and, even when we do win, the football is horrific to watch.

Keir Starmer today called it “utterly appalling” that a Reform UK councillor described children in care as “downright evil”.

This report by a Care Experienced writer reveals how that remark still reverberates in Cambridgeshire.

Love being reminded to do this every year. It's a win/win all round

🥚 The mainstream narrative of #adoption feels like someone has made a three-hour biopic but only given the subject five minutes’ worth of screen time.

Why are some food outlets so averse to displaying a fixed menu above their counter? If all I am greeted with is an endless scroll of promos and part menus that disappear too quickly, I will simply walk away and not come back.

🥚 I’m thinking out loud on this one, but I want to articulate something along the lines of:

‘When you adopt, your ‘story’ ceases to be only yours to tell. You are now the ‘stewards’ of another family’s ‘story’- a responsibility to be borne with the requisite level of care and discretion.’

if you are an adoptive parent you do not so much *have* a perspective to set against that of #adoptees as *lack* necessary perspective.

It may make you uncomfortable to listen to adoptees. But instead of writing us off as “angry” outliers, a bit of respectful listening might help you as a parent.

Gave my #loopearplugs their public debut today and they definitely made crowded stations and trains more bearable.

Has anyone out there put together a UK-based #adoptee starter pack? #adoption #adopteesky

I suppose I ought to post something, just to show willing and fill the blank space on my home screen.
