📚A Different Perspective on Disability & Accountability 📚
At the centre is one powerful idea:
accountability means counting people in.
Not assuming. Not reacting. Not waiting to be told.

Our thoughts are with the survivors ? Most of all, it would mean being willing to talk about sexual harassment and violence. Because if we cannot talk about it honestly, we are unlikely to respond effectively when it happens.

Senior politicians thought Peter Mandelson’s ability to deliver meant they could overlook his behaviour. They should have known the public wouldn’t agree.
Looks like a Dahli painting 😺

A close-up photo of a Roman tile, featuring a clearly imprinted footprint of a small child's right foo. The tiles shows a rough, broken edge on the left and top, with the detailed five-toed impression visible on the worn surface against a neutral gray background.
A child’s footprint frozen in time - pressed into a #Roman tile as it dried before firing nearly 1,800 years ago.
A tiny, timeless reminder of everyday life in the ancient world.

Elon attempts to explain away being all up in the Epstein files…
Reminder: he knew Trump was all over them too, and he helped make him president
WEEKEND NEWSAGENTS: want to do some eps which think a bit more deeply about the systemic problems now embeded in British politics. One of them seems to me that though recent PMs have power, they all seem to lack authority. Why?

United in food!!
A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.
Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.
That's my birthday present sorted.
