Aunt Lydia does Baby Jane :
Shame you didn’t learn about the human right to empowerment of autonomy and metacognition. That the frontal lobe is in functional freeze and high risk of all or nothing cognitive distortions. Because it’s costing women and children lives. Paternalism is an arm of the patriarch.

Ed Lyttelton :
I walk the dog while listening to research material. I pay attention to what I hear and what I see as I walk. If I then replay the walk in my mind afterwards, I can recall precisely what I heard (or thought) at any point in the walk. A moving physical location feels very much tied to point in time memory.

I tap myself and say the thing outloud e.g. "The front doors locked" and tap out the syllables on my chest or my face but change the placement and force of the tap to remember that I've done it that day. It's made life much easier for me

I always felt weird how I would travel around to different libraries in my city to study - I guess I intuitively knew this!

And this is why I got A’s for my science GCSEs. Because those were the subjects I revised while sitting by the river when my Mum was at work in a local cafe. What a win!
