#Dog #DogsOfMastodon #BorderCollie #Vets The mainly black and white fluffy dog has been in the vets. She is a very unwell dog. Anemic, blood levels too low and not at all herself. She is home again but seeing a specialist soon. Human is a wreck.
#Dog #DogsOfMastodon #BorderCollie #Dementia #TeachersPensions #IndeoendentSchools The mainly black and white fluffy dog is looking after her human. School is hard with a strike about pensions.

Kee HinckleyWhat Is Conservatism and What Is Wrong with It?
Philip E. Agre
August 2004
Liberals in the United States have been losing political debates to conservatives for a quarter century. In order to start winning again, liberals must answer two simple questions: what is conservatism, and what is wrong with it? As it happens, the answers to these questions are also simple:
Q: What is conservatism?
A: Conservatism is the domination of society by an aristocracy.
Q: What is wrong with conservatism?
A: Conservatism is incompatible with democracy, prosperity, and civilization in general. It is a destructive system of inequality and prejudice that is founded on deception and has no place in the modern world.
These ideas are not new. Indeed they were common sense until recently. Nowadays, though, most of the people who call themselves "conservatives" have little notion of what conservatism even is. They have been deceived by one of the great public relations campaigns of human history. Only by analyzing this deception will it become possible to revive democracy in the United States.

Plague PoemsMy British friend tells me
he has a new appreciation
for what life
must have been like
for a medieval peasant
as he too
is trying to survive a plague
while hating the new king.

#Dog #DogsOfMastodon #BorderCollie #Cleaning #Floof The mainly black and white fluffy dog is helping. Hooman spends lots of time scraping dog hair off the carpet. Dog wonders why when Outside is here and we could play in the sunshine. So today she helped. In the photo she is close up and really helping with cleaning up by sitting right in the way!

🏳️🌈🖖🏽People with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are all around us—they’re integrated in schools and the workforce. But for many of us, all we know about ASD are the news stories speculating about a diagnosis for a violent mass shooter or a savant with remarkable skills.
We rarely hear directly from people with autism. In today's The Big Picture, we change that. Read more at #TheBigPicture: https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/autism-spectrum-disorder-adult-life
vic28Hi everyone. I am looking for some advice. I am blind and am currently studying a degree in Inclusive education. I would like to do part of my placement/work experience abroad, preferably in Canada or the UK. Are there any disability or student groups that I could get in touch with or are there any tips or advice people would have? If this could be boosted I would really appreciate it. Thank you. #Disability #DisabledStudent #StudyAbroad #Erasmus #Blind #Canada #UK
