Great sides are built off huge moments. That minute with the Martinez save & Tammy's winner was one of them.
Unai running on the pitch to celebrate.
It just *feels* like a huge moment in the Emery era at Villa.
An extraordinary finale. What a team. I love this team. #avfc

The UK was not informed about this war. and as there are no clear objectives, no clear plans and no clear indication of what victory is supposed to look like, the Government made the eminently sensible decision not to join this particular jolly.
A lot of young men are going to die. I fear that the US Marines and 82nd Airborne are heading towards a massacre.
I have re-designed my blog to focus on the Catholic understanding of Autism I am developing.
Please let me know what you think.
And please subscribe for reflections on the theology of autism, dignity, and the image of God. #autism #theology #catholic

Disability is difference, not deficit. In the image of God, there is no single template of the human—only a rich plurality of lives, each bearing that image in its own way.
Agreed. Unfortunately, society is fixated on the idea of ‘deficit’ and deviation from ‘the norm’. Although I approach this from a Catholic perspective, I value your insight. Thank you.
Thank you, Caritas Salford, for inviting me to speak about my Autism resources for parishes and schools. Thank you too, to Dr Minna Moffat-Feldman for arranging it all.
I feel blessed to be doing this. #autism #catholic #inclusion

OK, 2. Point still stands.
Sum total of wars started by women = 0 (unless you think Helen of Troy was real).
Perhaps, if more women and fewer wannabe Alpha Male men were in power, we would not have pointless war after pointless war after pointless war.
It was a privilege to take part in ‘Hossnna!’, a cantata for Easter performed by adults with learning disabilities. I was moved to tears. #disability
I was recently contacted by a group in the US called ‘Autistic Catholics’. Would anyone be interested in a UK version? If so, please contact me at markpaine1970@gmail.com #autism #autistic
I don’t think he understands the concept of ‘principles’.

Why are there so many more stars since we invented telescopes?
Also, why are so many people being diagnosed as neurodivergent these days? #autism #adhd #neurodivergent
