“Though the Witch knew the Deep Magic, there is a magic deeper still which she did not know. Her knowledge goes back only to the dawn of time. But if she could have looked a little further back… she would have known that when a willing victim who had committed no treachery was killed in a traitor’s stead, the Table would crack and Death itself would start working backward.” - Aslan, C.S. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

“You’ll Get My Reply When I’m Ready — Not When You Panic”
Filed Under: Temporal Sovereignty · Boundary Etiquette · Bureaucratic Grace · SWANK London Ltd


๐ŸŒฌ “I will reply to emails later.”
— Six words that unravel procedural egos faster than a FOI request.

Because while you refresh your inbox with anxious entitlement,
I restore breath to my body, balance to my day, and power to the reply button.


๐Ÿ•ฐ “I need to do other things now…”
Yes. Like defend myself from the systems you sent.
Like parent. Like recover. Like breathe.

You mistook my silence for passivity.
It was, in fact, a calibrated pause — the kind only the unlawfully interrupted learn to perfect.


๐Ÿ“ฉ “I will get back to you later.”
Not “if.” Not “when you chase.”
Later. When the reply deserves to exist.

Because I do not write to react. I write to record.
And nothing screams archival dignity louder than a delayed, devastating paragraph.


๐Ÿ›‘ Legal Positioning

Polite delay is not obstruction.
It is protected under the Equality Act 2010 as a facet of reasonable adjustment for communication-related disabilities.

Let it be known: urgent to you does not override my statutory right to respond with air, not alarm.

We Don’t Fight in A&E. We Archive the Collapse of Care



๐Ÿ–‹ ๐’ฎ๐’ฒ๐’œ๐’ฉ๐’ฆ Dispatch | 23 November 2024

“Prednisone and Protocols: A Sovereign Medical Update”
Filed Under: Medical Retaliation · Paediatric Neglect · Sovereign Caregiving · NHS Gaslighting · SWANK London Ltd


Dear Kirsty,

You requested an “update.” Here it is—unfiltered, clinically grounded, and maternal in its wrath.

“Rather than go to A&E and have to fight for treatment, I decided to give Prince and King prednisone.”

Not because I wanted to.
Because I had to.
Because your hospitals treat asthma like inconvenience and maternal concern like sedition.

“When I took King to A&E… they told him to breathe with his mouth closed to hide the crackling.”

That’s not triage.
That’s performative malpractice.

“They didn’t put the thermometer in his ear hole.”
“They get defensive and angry if I question it.”

No examination. No listening. Just defensiveness as default.
And accusation as protocol.


๐Ÿ›‘ I Have Lived This. I Will Not Reenact It.

“I will not allow my children to suffer the way they forced me to suffer.”

You think this is escalation?
It’s not. It’s precedent.

I now parent with medical knowledge and legal resolve.
You called it "difficult."
I call it "recorded."

“I will record them. I will report them. I will post it.”


⚖️ Legal Repositioning of Institutional Neglect

“I can’t go to A&E daily with four children and myself just to be ignored.”

You see a busy mother.
I see a pattern of system-facilitated neglect.

“This is child neglect.”
Correct.
But not mine.

“Your NHS staff do not follow protocol. They accuse me. They abuse my children.”

And when the litigation lands, let it be noted:
All of it was avoidable.
None of it undocumented.

The Doctor Who Chose Doubt Over Breath



๐Ÿ–‹ ๐’ฎ๐’ฒ๐’œ๐’ฉ๐’ฆ Dispatch | 23 November 2024

“Evil Is a Clinical Attitude, Not a Diagnosis”
Filed Under: Clinical Abuse · Diagnostic Gaslighting · Institutional Malice · Verbal Hostility · SWANK London Ltd


Dear Kirsty,

“Maybe you could call that evil doctor and ask her why she didn’t believe me…”

Let’s not be coy.
Let’s be clear.

Dr Arjumand.
St Mary’s Hospital.
A clinician whose diagnostic repertoire consists of disbelief, disdain, and documented harm.

“I can’t verbally argue about it each time I go to A&E.”

Nor should I have to.
Verbal argument is not a prerequisite for care.
It is not a treatment pathway.
It is a trap.

She didn’t assess Heir.
She didn’t listen.
She didn’t care.
She made me worse.

And when I spoke up?
The system did what it always does—retreated into silence, then emerged with blame.

“I won’t put up with being abused and then blamed for it.”

Precisely.
Because post-abuse defamation is not “clinical reflection.” It’s bureaucratic sadism.

“I’m planning an email attack…”

Not threats.
Not violence.
Just: evidence. Elegance. Escalation.
You call it noncompliance.
I call it documented dissent with legal teeth.

Verbal Warfare Is a Privilege We Don’t Possess



๐Ÿ–‹ ๐’ฎ๐’ฒ๐’œ๐’ฉ๐’ฆ Dispatch | 23 November 2024

“We Only Speak When It’s Sacred”
Filed Under: Respiratory Discrimination · Verbal Coercion · Disability Adjustment Refusal · Pediatric Neglect · SWANK London Ltd


Dear Kirsty,

“I don’t appreciate the way they treat us when we go to the hospital unable to breathe, when we can’t defend ourselves verbally.”

In the theatre of institutional care, breathlessness is viewed with suspicion—especially when paired with advocacy.

In your world, dialogue is default.
In ours, dialogue is dangerous.

“All they want to do is argue.”

You frame it as procedure.
We experience it as persecution.
Theirs is a system that equates silence with guilt, and speech with noncompliance.

“They refused to check Honor.”

A child, visibly unwell, discarded because her mother could not perform distress in their preferred dialect.

What kind of clinic demands oxygenated obedience as a precondition for care?

What kind of safeguarding officer allows it?

“Apparently other people can talk more easily because they waste it on arguing so often.”

Indeed.

But I speak only when it’s sacred.
When words are necessary. When life is at stake.
That is not silence. That is strategy.

Your Debate Is My Airway Obstruction



๐Ÿ–‹ ๐’ฎ๐’ฒ๐’œ๐’ฉ๐’ฆ Dispatch | 23 November 2024

“We Don’t Argue. We Breathe with Precision.”
Filed Under: Respiratory Violence · Verbal Coercion in A&E · Child Protection by Silence · Adjustment Refusal · SWANK London Ltd


Dear Kirsty,

“All they want to do is argue.”
And I want to live.

This is not a disagreement.
This is a documented breach of medical protocol—masquerading as “communication.”

When we arrive at A&E, we are not offering persuasion.
We are offering symptoms.
And the response? A combative interrogation.

“We don’t have time or respiratory capacity to do that.”

Not then.
Not ever.
Not again.

“After they abuse us, everyone blames me…”

It is a pattern.

  1. Refuse care.

  2. Demand justification.

  3. Pathologise the victim for failing to perform the dialogue that harms them.

This is not miscommunication. It is deliberate institutional cruelty, enforced by expectation of verbal labour from the breathless.

And Honor?

She will not be sacrificed to the same ritual.

“Apparently other people can talk more easily because they waste it on arguing so often.”

Correct.
We don’t waste oxygen.

We speak like sovereigns.
When we do, it is sacred, strategic, and documented.

“We only talk when it’s meaningful.”

That is not avoidance.
That is clinical clarity.
And if you cannot match that precision, you have no business presiding over breath.
