Being neurodivergent at work is realizing half your exhaustion comes from social performance, not the actual job.

150 staff accessed their records. The vast majority with no legitimate reason. Why? Where is your decency and humanity. My poor poor beautiful boy. 💔

I really hate the “no person who works a full-time job should live in poverty” discourse. It should simply be that nobody deserves to live in poverty. We have to let go of the idea that we work in exchange for our worth. People are innately worthy and deserving of the basics.

I'm trying to imagine Muslim kids chanting something similar about the Jewish or Christian faiths at a rally in London. The Prevent folks, counter-terrorism police, the entire British media would be all over the story, asking why Muslims are so extreme & brainwashing their kids.

Personal positions on the Andy Burnham thing. 1/ Like most people in Manchester I like Andy, he’s done many good things here, many of which are below the radar outside GMcr. 2/ He’s not the messiah and he will not prove more powerful than the Labour Party machinery >

Happy Birthday to Mr David Byrne.

In 1935, two American doctors examined seven women's ovaries and saw small lumps. They called them cysts and named the disease after them. They were wrong. It took 91 years to fix. What we called PCOS is now Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS), announced today in The Lancet by an international panel of doctors and patients. The renaming followed more than a decade of consensus work and 22,000 patient and clinician survey responses. The lumps Stein and Leventhal saw were never cysts. Modern imaging shows they were follicles, the tiny sacs inside the ovary that grow and release an egg each month, frozen partway through by a hormonal imbalance. PMOS is a multi-system disorder centered in the endocrine system, the body's network of glands that produces hormones like insulin (controls blood sugar), cortisol (the stress hormone), and thyroid hormones (set the body's metabolism). The ovary trouble flows downstream from there. The naming choice is not academic. When doctors hear "ovary" in a diagnosis, they look at the ovary. "Metabolic" and "endocrine" send them to the whole body. PMOS affects roughly 1 in 8 women worldwide, more than 170 million people. The WHO estimates 70% have never been diagnosed. Among those who do, 1 in 3 wait more than 2 years, and nearly half see 3 or more doctors first. The CDC reports more than half of women with PMOS develop type 2 diabetes by age 40, a risk 5 to 10 times higher than women without the condition. Around 37% have clinically significant depression, compared with 14% in women without it. Anxiety runs at 42% versus 8.5%. A label born from a 1935 look at seven ovaries is finally going away. The new diagnostic guidelines roll out fully in 2028. By then, a woman walking into a clinic with these symptoms should hear questions about her blood sugar and her mood alongside her cycle. Those are the parts of the disease the old name hid for 91 years.

Labour should stop pretending work is a magic answer to disability poverty. Many disabled people already work. Many cannot. Many could with the right support. But none of that changes the fact that PIP is for disability costs, not laziness, wages or moral worth.

1 bit the dust already: Reform UK paper candidate who was elected in Bradford, Daniel Devaney, has resigned already saying he doesn't want to be a councillor and has gone away on holiday.

@BellaBaddie__ Yes two of my cousins

Has anyone ever heard of siblings who were born on the same day of the month, but in different years?????

So much of adulthood is just grieving in secret, grieving the person you thought you'd grow into, grieving parts of you that couldn't survive, grieving your parents sinking into old age, grieving dead friendships, grieving ex lovers, grieving cities you never got to live in.

There’s a High Chance If You Were Around in the 1980s, You’ll Remember the Children’s Book Series “Choose Your Own Adventure. Unlike Every Book You’ve Ever Seen Up Until Then, You Didn’t Read it Front to Back. Instead You Were Faced With Choices After Being Presented With All Sorts of Random Dilemmas. Best of All, There Were Dozens of Endings So if You Didn’t Like Your Fate, You Could Always Try Again. #chooseyourownadventure #books #reading #1980s #80s
