Re-sharing this thread for the morning crew, not sure whether that is needed over here, but I feel a bit demoralised that my adventures in air frying are getting more attention than human rights abuses of #autistic people and people with a #LearningDisability

This thread looks at two care homes rated inadequate by the CQC (the English #Healthcare regulator) at the same time as the organisation were collecting an award for their supposed specialist care #SocialCare

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

@LizEllisPhD don't get me wrong, I'm here for both, I just worry that this might not be the right space, and I rapidly need to figure out where is.

I'll keep on here for now, and its forcing me to blog more rather than just rant, so that's something.

Thanks for engaging with both Liz, even the boosts make me more inclined to bother, because I think the chances of passing someone's path increase. TY

@GeorgeJulian boosting is important here for sure and I think that Masto is historically quite tech oriented, but that is changing. FWIW a twit account with big following did identical posts here and there and got higher engagement here. I think it will just take time to build. More people are leaving twitter everyday.

@LizEllisPhD I'm going to latch on to your quiet confidence about this and just carry on regardless. TY
