About the Hippo.
Hippos have this wonderful behaviour known as dumpening - a kind of magical swoosh of their tail whilst they simultaneously poop that swirls out the faeces in a spray that reaches up to 10 metres away.
There's a few reasons why they do this *1*

It's largely territorial, but it's done when they recognise danger and when they feel threatened as well. I could have really done with some dumpening abilities recently, I'm sure poop spraying would have kept a lot of the dangers away from me *2*
However, digression, I don't hold the capabilities, and it's not something I've thought about for a long time, but I am currently in the process of an autobiographical piece and watching this occur a few years ago was magical (I was more than 10 metres away) *3*

1/ I want to say a great big thank you to @chris_kammy for speaking out about #apraxia affecting his speech. I’ve been inconsolable over the last few days since I’ve discovered that a complication of B12 deficiency & pernicious anaemiaI’ve been diagnosed with, is #aphasia >
2/ I thought a few low vitamin levels was no big deal. I was having the munchies after an injection so I Googled to see if that was a side effect & I stumbled on the complications associated with B12. I have every single one. Some, like heart problems and reproductive stuff >
3/ are reversible. But the neurological and nerve damage can be irreversible. I have every single symptom and I’ve had them now for years. B12 & folate deficiency can happen if your diet is a bit shite, or if you are vegan/veggie. The hubby cooks from scratch and I’m not veggie >

PLS RT: Does anyone know of any #LXP (Lived Experience Professional roles ie. Peer Support Workers, Lived Experience Researchers) that have reached Employment Tribunal stage for Disability Discrimination in the UK? All I’ve heard of reach settlement before court stage #MadTwitter
Employment & Equality of #LXP’s is something that I’m trying to build understanding of because presently it is disparate and isolated by employer or even employee. I hadn’t realised til recently that there have been quite a few Tribunal applications >
> for discrimination at work, however all I have heard of where settled prior to court. I can’t find any examples of one going to Employment Tribunal Court. I’d really appreciate if people could put this out there so I can discover & collate any examples. They will be of great >
