Hello,

It’s a busy week at The View From Down Here HQ aka my kitchen table. The timeline on the first draft of my book has been quite dramatically moved up so I have a lot of words to write and meetings to go to and I am, obviously, feeling a little overwhelmed.

I’m also in the process of training and getting to know a new PA, which isn’t bad per se but does take up more time and energy than anything should reasonably need.

So, with that in mind, and to give you a little sense of how I’m feeling, I hope you’ll forgive me resharing a previously paywalled post in lieu of a brand new one today.

I wrote this post when the care shenanigans kicked off last March and it’s just as relevant now as it was then. Paid subscribers really responded to it when it originally landed in their inboxes, so I really hope you enjoy it and I promise to be back with new stuff for you ASAP.

This popular feature of The View From Down Here has changed! From now on, along with the weekly columns, paid subscribers will receive a bonus monthly round up of things to read, listen to and watch.

These links will focus on disability, ableism and allyship - after all, that’s why we’re all here! - but I also promise to keep the odd esoteric read that will always make you think.
