THREAD. A collection of photographs of excellent trees I have met on walks. You will find the captions to each photo in the alt text.

A man I met high in the Peak District who, due to crimes he would not disclose to me, had been turned into two conjoined Sycamore trees by a coven of witches and condemned to spend eternity waving his useless branch hands at the cold, cruel sky.

VYD2311, a new COVID monoclonal antibody, had fewer side effects than an mRNA vaccine in a Phase 3 trial (56.5% vs 91.4%). Combined with vaccination, it boosted neutralizing antibodies 2.5-fold, potentially offering extra protection without interfering with the vaccine's immune response.

A screenshot of a medical news article from Contagion Live (Infectious Diseases Today), dated September 29, 2026.
The bold headline reads: "VYD2311 Shows Superior Tolerability to mRNA COVID-19 Vaccine in Phase 3 Study".
The summary paragraph below states: "In the phase 3 LIBERTY study, the investigational monoclonal antibody, VYD2311, had significantly fewer adverse events than an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine, and it did not blunt vaccine-induced neutralizing titers when the two were given together."
The center of the image features a detailed, dark blue 3D graphic illustration of a spherical coronavirus particle, showing its characteristic spike proteins protruding outwards from all sides. Below the illustration, light grey text credits the graphic to "Credit: Adobe images".

i’m very frustrated with people telling me to do something, and not actually reading what they’ve just told me to review - where it clearly states in ‘3’ separate pieces of operational content, that the additional step I’ve been asked to add - is there - in red and bold text - in all 3 documents

I wrote this back in 2013 and I wonder if there was something I knew back then that I didn't know now. Maybe it's hindsight, I suppose, considering certain political goings. #offlinegoings #poettok #poetry #freeverse #fyp #poem #shortpoem #oldpoem #musings #written2013 #fckuspolitics

I've seen something awful happen
Yes, it is very awful
I have seen it coming, have you all, too?

It is the collapse of what was

The collapse of what was is coming
Can't you see?
This was happening all along

Democracy is fading
Politicians lie
Freedom and the persuit of happiness no longer matter

The economy has fallen
Many jobs have been lost
Many hurt and many scream

People blame, people complain
Nevertheless, what for?
The country is rife with corruption and greed

The things I speak of are The Collapse
Cringe and be afraid
The Collapse was inevitable

It was building up
Laying dormant
Now it has awakened

It is happening and I have seen it coming
Yet, it came
Cringe and be afraid

We are in the shadow of the The Collapse

Victoria: "Flu cases surge 400% as unusually late season takes off" "Health Department data shows that influenza notifications have risen by 400% over the past 7 weeks, with influenza A responsible for most infections" Source: archive.li/yLzSs

An article from The Sydney Morning Herald titled "Flu cases surge 400 per cent as unusually late season takes off."
The piece is written by Henrietta Cook and was published on September 18, 2026.
The main image shows a young boy sitting on a bed in a textured green robe, wincing as he blows his nose into a white tissue. Another person is sitting on the bed in the blurry background, while a woman stands watching from the side.
The image caption at the bottom reads: "Victoria's flu season has not yet reached its peak. PAUL JEFFERS"

"COVID vaccines no longer free for many Australians from next month" From October 1, Australia will end free COVID vaccines for most people. Free doses will remain for adults 65+, First Nations people aged 50–74 and severely immunocompromised adults aged 18–64. The cost for others is not yet known.

COVID vaccines no longer free for many Australians from next month

Only some people will continue to get the COVID-19 vaccination for free after October 1. Here's what the changes mean for you.
