Does this mean I can quit chewing my chalky Adcal twice a day from now on? 👀 (Disclaimer: don’t stop taking any meds without speaking to your HCP!) Anyway - interesting review!

Finally a graduate 🧑‍🎓 🥳

A frozen and snow covered River Foss this morning. Looks like I may be having a snowy graduation on Thursday …

A river (though not recognisable) covered in a uniform layer of snow. A sign reading “Foss Islands” with small and unreadable information text sits in front. The sky is blue with a few clouds, and some low hanging trees sit in the background.

Another image of a frozen river with snow covering the surface. The clouds in the background have the sun shining through tjem and the sky is otherwise blue.

And that’s final day of Masters teaching for 2025 done earlier this week. Time to crack down and submit 1 paper before the end of the year, and finish this masters module before Jan, all whilst trying to avoid catching flu amongst the early flu peak this year ! 😷

What a great article by Millie that I can certainly relate to. The winding down of motivation as financial pressures mount, and I myself found myself more drawn to putting things into practice and lost a bit of academic oomph towards the end in the whole juggling act. Still - we got there.

Been combining my pre-employment check visits with checking out the local eats - today a rather ace (vegan) falafel wrap from Eastern Oven at Kirkgate Market en route from Jimmy’s to station. A little pricey but worth it. Photo does not do the joy it brought me justice…

A wrap being held up to the camera in front of a blurred out background. The wrap has parsley sticking out of it and little else can be seen beneath.

It does seem like there is absolutely no other occasion when I am more on top of my household chores than when I have a deadline. I may have my final uni deadline tomorrow and have not submitted anything, but at least my flat is cleaner than ever and I’ve done all possible laundry.

Has been a lovely few days of good weather up in Yorkshire ☀️

Becky 💙 @becky-n.bsky.social · 05/04/2025

Having some R&R at last. Last week I had all of my uni deadlines but ended up as a patient on a specialist ward for the best part of a week. Though Spring break now finally feels that it has begun - but will be back to being a patient next week to start a new (& hopefully improved) treatment regime.

Finished off the year with a busy volunteer ambulance shift up in Derbyshire. 2024 was a challenging but good one, and I’m proud of myself for what I achieved over the year, with a lot of fun on the way. Here’s to an even better 2025. Wishing everyone a lovely year 💙

Louise Ting @neuro-observant.bsky.social · 23/12/2024

I keep seeing “person/ people with neurodiversity” and “neurodiverse individual” come up (e.g. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...). Why does this matter? Not only is it linguistically wrong, but it also means that autistic people are unintentionally “othered” again Neurodiversity INCLUDES US ALL

A poster describing how to use the word “neurodiverse” and stating:

- A person can’t “have neurodiversity” or “be neurodiverse”
- A person is either neurodivergent or neurotypical
- A group can be neurodivergent, neurotypical or neurodiverse

“Neurodivergent” is a term that refers to people with “a mind that diverges from dominant cultural standards of neurocognitive functioning” (Nick Walker, PhD, queer autistic psychology professor). It was coined by Kassiane Asasumasu.

Neurodivergence includes (but isn’t limited to) conditions and “ways of being” such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia and epilepsy.

First week of underway of (student) A/L and as well as rest, I’ve also managed to complete my ambulance revalidation and nearly finish data extraction of a systematic review. All of this happens during annual leave as it’s hard to fit in during full time shift patterns as this term has been busy!

Becky 💙 @becky-n.bsky.social · 16/12/2024

Trying to make the most of annual leave - day 1 today. Baked the Christmas cake (a little late). To be honest - I’ve never liked fruit cake but love the process of baking it for my family.

3 more placement shifts - and one 🚑 shift - then Christmas break! This will be the last Christmas where I have 3 consecutive weeks off for likely a very long time as it’s my last year at uni - so I’m going to make the most of it!

A quick introduction since the move here 🌌 I’m a final year student nurse up in Yorkshire. I’m often found on an ambulance (as a volunteer), or out running. I’m involved in a bit of research here and there, and hope to work in critical care when I qualify 💙🚑🧑‍🎓
