#pmld — Public Fediverse posts

I've been a bit quiet here (there and everywhere) but this is something I've just written on the role of unpaid carers.

A failed care system, relentless cuts, austerity and the notoriously perilous 'transition' process (when you shift from child to adult social services) is a shameful mix.

It leaves families like Elliott's in a precarious position.

Such a stunning shot of Christian Raphael, a music fan from Cambridge.

I loved editing this issue and cover story about a day in Christian's life. He's a cool guy who loves music and bright clothes. He's also non-verbal, has complex learning disabilities and was in hospital with Covid last year.

There's not enough coverage of complex/profound disabilities, Christian helps us rectify that.

Just because I love this smiley photo of Elliott and it doesn't display on the link in my last toot, here's a screen grab from the Tortoise website.
