  1. I found her to have full capacity for the two specific decisions I was assessing her for, and I left her at home on completion of my assessment.

    She continues to live stream herself taking overdoses and continues to decline medical attention.

    The Trust are unhappy because she might die. I am also unhappy that she might die, but I also respect her right to do so as she retains capacity for that decision that I and most other people consider unwise.

    “We can make her go to hospital in her best interests!” they declare.

    No, actually, we can’t. Not whilst she retains capacity.
    The Trust don’t like this and frankly, I don’t care.

    I believe that at this time, I am in fact acting in her #BestInterests by upholding her right to make her own decisions.

    Capacity is time and decision specific and at the time I assessed her she demonstrated full capacity. That may well change at some point, but right now it is what it is.

  2. #TechBros really don’t GAF about your #BestInterests, #Privacy, or #security

    I recently had a LONG back & forth here w/ someone who argued w/ me because I don’t enable #JavaScript on my phone. He kept on as though I was an idiot

    #Developers would like to convince us that we NEED JavaScript. But, when you ask them about these concerns, they point at specifics, & about what THEY (not others) are CURRENTLY doing

    Have a look at what the #StartPage #SearchEngine #website has to say

    You are so right. About their values.

    This is not a group of people who can think about #PublicService in a meaningful way.

    This is not a group of people who have allegiance to concepts like #constitutionality, #TruthTelling, #ProceduralJustice, or #DoingTheRightThing. They are not there to serve the country or the #BestInterests of *all* of its people.

    I'm ashamed, as a US citizen, to acknowledge this; however, it does seem to be the case.
