Poor girl, I feel for her. At least you went to investigate why she didn't come when called.

I am a 52 year old wheelchair user. In addition to my hip problem (and increasingly as many joints as you can mention problem), I suffer with #COPD, #GORD and #Depression. I used to work as an #RMN and was Union rep for the #RCN for several years. I am a poet and I have a further, more established Mastodon account at @mastodonapp.uk

Trump is just a symptom not the cause of the rabid fringe taking over the republican party. There are many others that are just as bad as, or not much better than, he is. And even Ron DeSantis, though he has less baggage than Trump and thus has a more appealing veneer to many in the party, is still Trumpist at heart.

In Britain, covid relief funds have been a recipe for fraud and our government just wrote off the lost £billions. It is hard not to see it as a convenient way to funnel money to donors under the guise of relief. Thus, I am glad fraudsters on that side of the pond appear ro be being pursued. If only it were the case here.
It is a very concerning time for democracy on both sides of the pond. I wish I could clearly see democracy winning out. But with voter ID laws, voter suppression, gerrymandering and then this on top, it seems like we are losing our rights, and democracy is on life support.
Mentally & physically disabled (plus people with hereditary diseases & the deaf) were targeted by the Nazis, who initially forced sterilisation, to ensure the long term purity of the Aryan race. Then they forced euthanasia, with over 100,000 disabled people being killed between 1933 and 1939. The Holacaust was the most dreadful of the Nazi atrocities, no doubt, but the other groups listed in 2/3 Inc. the disabled were also targeted & the nazis built their Reich on the blood of many. 3/3
Some people may be tempted to think 'the holocaust was bad but it did not effect anyone other than the Jewish people'. If that were true it would still be worth never forgetting and always ensuring it never happens again. However, if you or anyone you know is of Russian blood, Jehova's witness, alcoholic, pacafist, Romany, of the LGBTQ+ community, was ever a prostitute, and yes, if you or anyone you know has physical or mental disability, then the Nazis imprisoned and murdered these people. 2/3
Someone needs to tell Kanye West (A.K.A. Ye) to stop talking. He's caused so many self inflicted wounds in recent weeks, I am losing count of his stupid, and often hurtful, proclamations. In his latest bizarre statement he has told Jewish people to forgive Adolf Hitler. I cannot think of a more ghastly thing to say than to tell those of the Jewish faith to forgive the genocide of their people. There can be no forgiveness, nor should we ever forget the horrors brought on by the Nazi Party. 🧵1/3

Thar seems about right. And it is why patients are the expert in their condition.
