    I’ve published a personal piece - I Crash: Texts from M.E. It uses my own text messages as a first-person documentary account of Long Covid and ME/CFS: crashes, remission, relapse, pacing, doubt, medical uncertainty, and the strange danger of feeling better. I wrote it partly

    Not knowing how to feed you kids is haunting. Kids with autism and learning disabilities being tortured in state hospitals is haunting. This is the face of someone who has not achieved her ambitions, but will nevertheless love a privileged, comfortable life. It won't haunt anyone

    The establishment literally tried to force this through, on the third attempt. The Eton establishment tried to crow bar this through, inc. Johnson and Rees-Mogg. Stick to American populism, Steve.

    And here is the problem. Culture is not a lever. You can't manipulate it. You can't design it. It can be influenced, but it is much easier to influence badly by intervention. Work on the work with the people who do the work and are affected by it. Culture change comes for free.

    Incredible skill. Now imagine that a terrible accident resulted from being just a few inches closer. Then how would we evaluate the pilot's performance? Success & disaster can be inches apart but we often don't recognise this, and our judgement of performance is based on outcome.
