@dianawtan22 Congratulations Diana! This is such brilliant news. I am thrilled for you and your important project!

The news still hasn't quite sunk in yet but I'm pleased to share that I've been given an amazing opportunity to work collaboratively with neurodivergent students to understand how universities can foster a more enabling environment for ND students to thrive. #DECRA2025

Every first time parent is just that… a first time parent. And as a newbie, it’s important to extend yourself a little grace. I got a kick out of this video, which uses humor to express a very real anxiety so many of us face/faced as we began life with a newborn: namely, that we have no experience in the world’s most important job. There’s a place for education here, of course. Read up and learn as much as you can in advance. But at the same time, rest assured that no book will ever prepare you completely for parenthood. When our oldest was born, my wife and I both held degrees in early childhood education. Had we ever been entrusted with a newborn 24 hours a day? Nope! Even your pediatrician (assuming they have children of their own) learned to parent the very same way: on the job. A strong knowledge of child development is a tremendous benefit. It’s why I share these posts each day. But know too, that every parent makes mistakes. And that’s ok. Babies are wonderfully resilient. Make your mistakes and move on… aspiring not to make the same one over and over. You’re doing great and your baby adores you more than anything else on Earth. Know a new parent who needs to hear this message? I hope you’ll share it. This sweet little one was shared to IG by fam_jam.s.

@pgkeil Congratulations Paul!! I happened to meet your Honours supervisor, Paul, today & was delighted to be able to share the good news that you've just published your book. He was delighted for you & we shared a nice moment comparing how much we like you & think you are awesome! 😃

Finally at the proof/indexing stage. Still surprised I was able to find the time between Covid, a new fieldsite, a demanding 2-yr grant, an addition to the family, and my own procrastination, to turn my human-elephant work into a book. Thank the gods for my partner's patience.

@Gabi_Picard @p_strutt @VivianaWuthrich Congratulations @Gabi_Picard! So proud of your brilliant accomplishment!! And congratulations to your fabulous team of supervisors: @p_strutt, @VivianaWuthrich and Greg Savage. A dream team! The world awaits you Gabi ...

PhDone! 🥳🥳 Thank you so much to my supervisors Greg Savage and @p_strutt, and @VivianaWuthrich for jumping on board towards the end.

In September 1995 I was dropped off by my dad into my student house at the University of the West of England at 2.15pm on a Sunday afternoon.

@PEundertaker @Sarah_Katilyn A fourth from me!

@Sarah_Katilyn If you would write a book, I would buy it. Don’t give two shits what it’s about either. Sold!!

I remember when my childhood best friend was in a car accident. I was ten years old when the call came. A corded yellow landline at 2 a.m. They were hit by a drunk driver and her mother went through the windshield. She was decapitated. My friend awoke upside down and crawled through the back to reach her mother. She held her head as the ambulance arrived. I remember attending the funeral. It was weird and uncomfortable. Everyone around me wept and it smelled like lillies, which was supposed to be a happy smell, but from that moment on...it was death, and decay. While the families mingled and shared sad platitudes, I convinced her to sneak upstairs to the funeral director's office and steal the buttermints from the fancy silver footed bowl on his desk. We laughed breathlessly as we stole down the stairs, pockets full of pastel pillow mints. Giggling at our criminal mischief, oblivious to the mourners and the lillies. We sat in the front row because that's where family sat and she wouldn't let me leave her side. She let out a gutteral scream and threw herself on the casket "mommy mommy mommy". I grabbed her and hauled her back. Her horrified family gasping for air. I physically held her down while the preacher said words. Words that didn't matter because her mother was gone and the casket was closed and none of it fucking mattered. We went out back back to the cold empty playground and we swang. We swang on the stupid swings and I made her laugh with my stupid jumps and my stupid voices. And she cried. And I sat there. Upside down on a rubber swing. And we were quiet. And 30 years later she still messages me and talks about those mints, and the swings. Because the words don't matter. The platitudes and the sad side hugs. The emotions don't matter. I sucked at it. I could replicate it but it was never real and I learned that day that what matters is presence. Companionship. A steady anchor in the raging fucking storm of broken humanity. And that has always been me. I may not get it. The weeping. The screams. But I will sit with you in the darkness. I will steal the buttermints and I will swing with you in silence. And I will be. I will be.

@DanWuori My dear dad, sadly lost to us two years ago next week, was Pippy to our kids. Some version of Nana and Pop, which became Nana and Poppy, and finally Nana and Pippy or Pip

What are your family’s grandparent names? Some are self-chosen. Some are bestowed. And some of the best and most original are those earned over time, often based on children’s early mispronunciations. So today let’s have some fun. Are you (or does your baby have) a Grammy? A Memaw? A PopPop? A Big Daddy? Lay it on me! Bonus points for the most original. (This funny little Grandpa’s Boy was shared to TT by marissalafferty.)

@modnalro68 Congratulations Marc! What an honour and marvellous recognition of your valuable leadership of the T&I field in Australia and internationally! Bravo!

Very pleased to join such a multi-faceted group of talented people and have an opportunity (again) to bring some experience and insights to our collective endeavor to pave the way for a fruitful T&I future.

@mike_salter A beautiful tale of a beautiful & courageous person deeply failed by people who were meant to protect & love her. How fortunate she had you & your student & others who rallied around her. How fortunate that you & your student & those others had Abigail. A privilege to read

I've wanted to write this for a while but I haven't known how. More personal than what I usually share. This is a requiem for Abigail. organisedabuse.com/blog/2024/5/31…
