In a time of hate Love is an act of resistance.In a time of fear, faith is an act of resistance. In a time of misinformation, education is an act of resistance. In a time of poor leadership community is an act of resistance. In a time like this joy is an act of resistance. Resist. Resist. Resist.

“When you’re raped there is shame, and it’s not for us to have shame, it’s for them. It’s true that I hear lots of women, and men, who say you’re very brave. I say it’s not bravery, it’s a will and determination to change society” - Gisèle. What a woman. Shame changes sides

District Nurses are the clinical experts, key coordinators and the glue of community nursing services, ensuring people & their loved ones are cared for at home with professionalism, person centered care & advanced skills. @TheQNI champions the work of DNs every day. qni.org.uk/explore-qni/...

'Doctors, charities and MPs' are not the primary providers of end of life care. I wonder if anyone bothered to ask nurses who actually do this work or thought to address the 50% loss of district nurses

Nice to see @Bluesky is free from the reaches of a disinformation-pushing maniacal billionaire, not controlled by an algorithm designed to censor news. Its refreshing to return to much needed debate without being drowned by mean people who encourage and celebrate ignorance. What a happy place 💙
