@ChrisAlterio I can't help but be surprised to see your passion here, when you were so unhelpful to my complaint of a prominent OT repeatedly peddling prejudice in their posts. I certainly thought OT deserved better then and criticised me for it. How bizarre.

From Phoenix to dot. From heritage to hashtag. #OccupationalTherapy deserves better.

This question shows what happens when a profession abandons its symbols of heritage. Once the Phoenix anchored OT’s identity — now it’s been swapped for the endlessly re-skinned “hero O.”

@SarahMillican75 I hope you see this! Your delicious, encouraging voice has taken me from pretty sedentary to loving trail running again after a 20 year gap! I can't thank you enough & neither can fitter Lady Tink, Super Teddy & Huggie bear!! Xxx #Couchto5k #NHSApp #TrailRun

@narindertweets That's disgusting behaviour of both of them. So sick of men objectifying women. Sending tlc, it's not about our looks, but you do look gorgeous. Xxx

Man who attacked a female police officer and hopes to become London Mayor one day and help women be safer is actually agreeing with Andrew Tate about my ranking in looks. What a complete toss pot.

@GeorgiaVineOT Hey lovely, I need to pm you about an idea! Xxx

@LaughingOT Ahh thank you so much Alice!🥹xx

“I cannot express how much you and hollie have helped me with learning to love myself, and by loving myself I love being with my daughter. She really does melt my heart” We can bang on about 98% reductions in bed days, but this is what matters.

Just booked and very much looking forward to this year’s Elizabeth Casson Memorial Lecture with @CharlieChung90 Excellent topic! @theRCOT

@HistoryOt @UKFCOT Yes, indeed! A few good OTs standing by makes the difference. I've just been hosting @CarlynNeek from the brave ot podcast to design her range for my virtual ot shop, one of the themes is rebellion for occupation. Xx

@LaughingOT @UKFCOT You're right @LaughingOT about our heritage. The early pioneers and contemporary 'movers and shakers' in #OccupationalTherapy are rebels, mavericks, activists who challenge the status quo to benefit the wider society. Long may we continue to do so!

1/5 Why me? Monitor Irene @SteveGFord Trustees @OdethRichardson @anita_atwal @suresh_lshtm @Janine1OT et al

@UKFCOT @HistoryOt Wow! Worrying & interesting. Interesting we can influence through social media, but worrying the way it's written. I had a teams with Steve to ask him to change the definition of OT on the RCOT website, nothing happened until I campaigned on social media. Rebellion are OT roots.

@HistoryOt beware: RCOT think you are me and I am you! According to messages from 2022 and 2023. PS Didn't know searching a redacted PDF document would produce results! Reveals numbers not names.
