In the present political environment it is not easy to avoid the debate, with regards to choice and end of life. While, ironically, little is heard of choice and consent at the start of life. Children, exploitation, adultification and criminalisation are rarely in the news.
SPACE being one of the only consistent voices in this area, as far as I know.
In the context of end of life, creating endukayted challenged me to understand how little we can know about key parts of life. Limitations on capability and capacity can increase the need for advocacy. Sadly it is not often available despite it being standard practice. Dependency on institutional and structural culture can mean that the quality of care received is not as one would expect. “That is how it is” is often the reactive reply when standards are challenged. The high tide of human rights as a frame, is a shadow of initial expectations. Individuals forced to safeguard themselves and seek resonant support networks through their own resources.
Hence the creation of each of my blogs.
Daily maintained where possible to provide a life line or two. An attempt to establish a rhythm(link to rhythm) of resonant engagement towards improving the community culture.

Due to my ongoing health journey, my rhythm of production can be sporadic, however the topics often disclose my reality in real-time.
