This is not circus but is something very Scottish and highly patriotic.
Basically, Glasgow does anti-Trump better than anywhere in the world. If ever there was a reason for Scottish pride. A not-circus post that simply had to be shared. Especially since 99% of my followers are not Scottish and it’s important to share the culture.
nientedal asked: wow, the pca post is really interesting, thank you for sharing it! one small thing: sir terry pratchett died in 2015 rather than 2007. it's a little thing and not actually important to the content of the post but i would've wanted someone to tell me, so i hope you don't mind! also, my grandmother had alzheimer's and i remember she used to move like she couldn't entirely see where she was going. sounds like something similar to this might have been why. thank you again for sharing!
I’M SO SORRY I copied that data from the Alzheimer’s page and didn’t fact check- I changed the post but I think some reblogs escaped me before I got the tip from tumblr, sorry folks! But thank you for telling me- my own grandma had dementia in her last years and there are so many stories out there like ours, the more understanding and care we can offer the better we can find ways to treat and live with these conditions.
Hey so you folks may or may not know that both my parents are psychiatrists and have always been involved with supporting the research and treatment of conditions such as dementia and Alzheimer’s- this is something my dad was shown at a conference recently and he asked me to share it with you guys!
This is a short animation by Simon Ball which was funded by Created Out of Mind and the Alzheimer’s Society. It relates the experiences of people with Posterior Cortical Atrophy (PCA), a rare condition which some of you may recognise as the illness that the great author Terry Pratchett was living with until his death in 2015.
More about the film and PCA can be found here! Please consider giving it a look and sharing it with folks (also ignore the 8 minute timestamp it’s really more like 6 minutes, there are a lot of credits)- these conditions are very hard to live with and understand, and this film is a very beautiful and brave attempt to explore, explain and visually interpret the experience.
IT’S HERE’S IT’S FINALLY HERE so so sorry about the big delay but THE TPOH TOPATOCO SHOP IS OPENso now you can go buy the things! That were made! With Make That Thing!
