@ask_aubry Oh so it's fine for men to have expensive childish hobbies like cars and such but the moment a woman likes doing tea parties that's a bridge too far. Men who can't stomach female joy are such a red flag. Once you realize that you see it everywhere.
@_SianAR Young women in terrible pain - for some reason ED colleagues do struggle to catch all of these serious cases. We could do with a Think Ovary type campaign. I’ve know ovarian torsion been dismissed as ovulation pain. Appendix gets ruled out and the questions seem to stop there.
People aren't faking being ill—people are faking being well
Why am I seeing so many of these stories? In 47 years as a doctor I’ve seen maybe a dozen patients who were faking serious acute illness for their own amusement. And hundreds who actually needed medical input. Glad you’re OK Sian.
@alexandrite113 The irony of that the burden of explaining and educating other people about the lives of those who are chronically sick is left to those with the least amount of energy. You’ve no reason to apologise or doubt yourself. ✊

If you can afford a holiday that’s fine. But for those of us who can’t, taking your kids to the beach for a paddle, or swim in a river is now a luxury we’ve had taken away. It may not sound like much to you but for us it was everything. So thanks a lot Tories for literally taking…
My 3yo found an Easter egg during the egg hunt that was obviously from last year, it was full of stale jellybeans covered with ants, opened it and yelled, excitedly “WOW I GOT AN ANT ONE!!!!!”

@kadamssl I’d like to ask this teacher if construction workers, welders, spray shop painters, agricultural workers, firefighters, and so many more are also just making a personal statement to express themselves when they wear masks, or if, perhaps, they might have another good reason.

Review also online here: walthamforestecho.co.uk/2024/02/11/boo…
“The poems themselves, spare and interrupted as they are, reflect the voice of an author whose terror at the rapidly escalating consequences of climate change is only equalled by their horror at the scale of our societal indifference to the evidence mounting before us.”
Huge thanks to Sarah Fairburn for taking the time and trouble to review Fragments from Before the Fall in the @WFEcho It’s a privilege to be so understood by a reviewer, in terms of what I wanted to do with this book. So grateful to SMATR for giving it a second lease of life.💚
The thing about poetry is its infiniteness, the more you look the more you see. And there are infinite numbers of poets: the cells under the microscope divide into galaxies, each unique in a terrifying but miraculous universe. I look out at the night sky and everyone shines.
I’m sure I’ve told you this before but I always keep a secret block of dark chocolate hidden among my books.
