#Dandelions are MUCH under-appreciated. So much so that I wrote a poem inspired by them - and other things... www.abctales.com/story/ciadis... #RainbowBlooms

I took a couple of dandelion photos yesterday!
That's gorgeous, and complete with a pollinator - yay! Thanks for sharing

Is autism a disability? Is toadflax a weed? - Fergus Murray - Medium

The social model of disability sees disability as arising from the interaction between a person and their environment. Conventionally, we distinguish this from a person’s built-in impairments…

Great piece - you have extremely similar views to me. Weeds can be food for us as well as loads of creatures (& shelter/bedding for some of them - or us if we can be bothered to turn nettle into thread & turn that into a sheet. Which is a lot of faff). & social model should be more understood by all

Thank you! No, I don't think I've come across that before. The social model is obviously getting better and better known, but yeah, it's a real problem that it isn't more widely understood! We should be teaching about it in school, etc.
I enjoyed your Crip Co-op playlist, by the way!
