Me too

I didn’t get a degree though (too busy), and it was my role as Rag Sec that got me my first post college job

There’s lots to enjoy at College apart from lectures

Yep

But what is never a part of the conversation around the #LateLateToyShow Appeal is how the process strongly contributes at a societal level to people who need services too frequently having to rely on charity, not rights, to get their needs met.

This is fundamentally wrong.

That’s unacceptable

No wonder he didn’t want to go 😳

It’s the US, and you’ll see in the comments that Covid brain damage is being raised as an issue. That is one of the main changes in young* people during the past five years

*And older ones - I have long covid so I struggle with brain fog

Yep 😊

And sleep 😁

Also why has it gone bad?

That worries me, especially in relation to B’s likely future residential service

Even her day service isn’t as good as it was at the start, though she’s happy there

Absolutely

B didn’t get respite for ten years after I cancelled when she made it very clear to me that she hadn’t enjoyed it (twice)

It is, he’s the only one getting a choice

Does he get that you need a break sometimes?
November 28, 2025 at 10:34 PM
Ah no, sorry to hear that
November 28, 2025 at 8:40 PM
Hopefully all of those in no particular order 😊

Thank you, have a good weekend yourself too
November 28, 2025 at 6:12 PM
It feels great 😊
