I noticed that and was also guilty of it. The horrors of social care are not sexy or engaging for those who aren’t (yet) in contact with it. I’m not sure there is a critical mass on Masto of those involved yet. In my case air fryer banter is all I can really muster at the moment, but lack of response doesn’t mean people aren’t reading. Keep it up, it’s important work. #SocialCare #SocialCareCrisis #SocialCareReform
