Six weeks ago, I picked up a year-old tawny owl with a broken leg off the main road near our home and dropped him off at our nearest vet.

After a few days, I received one of the most bizarre phone calls I’ve ever had, asking “So when are you coming to pick up your owl?” 🧵

They all left teaching, like me because as head of pshe I couldn’t cope with the bullshit. (Among other things)

Did taking paracetamol when I was pregnant make me autistic too? I didn’t find out until my kids were adults… asking for a friend 🤷‍♀️

One of the extraordinary claims from the Orange Leader about autism, Tylenol and vaccines, yesterday, was that if people do as he suggests, there was no downside. "Nothing bad can happen". Just good things would happen, apparently.

Congratulation, I too am a female autistic PhD researcher, and have thought along similar lines. I’m just glad I’m not in the US

Fair. I’ve left labour. Is this my new home? Possibly.

The Green Party now has 78,000 members.

Thats 10,000+ new members this month alone who want to draw the line.

I know there are so many more people who want to take a stand.

Fair enough, I’m fortunate that I could do that, both my kids still at home have jobs and decided not to go to uni which saved us a fortune

I applied for a fully funded PhD. Even though the £20k student ship sounds small, I’m only a couple of 00£ a month worse off - no tax, ni, student loan, pension payments. I was 4 days a week, ups 2 and co-head of dept

Morning, we’re off to watch Brighton spurs this afternoon. If I’m honest, we usually beat them but today? I’m not so sure

Pretty! Still doesn’t make me want to go back into teaching though - I’d love a notebook like this though

A year into my PhD and I ‘think’ I have a research question that fits with my methodology. I ‘think’ I know what I’m doing … 🤷‍♀️ #phdlife #academia

Interesting. Why is no eye contact a ‘sign’ of misbehaviour? I haven’t read your article yet by the way. I promised myself no work reading today 😃
