The planet DOESN'T need more "successful" people. The planet desperately NEEDS more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers & lovers of ALL kinds.

Many people in the UK cannot get GP appointments and this is increasing pressure on A&E However many Doctors cannot get work in GP surgeries due to current funding restrictions Make it make sense

Well that's very odd, I had my account suspended for breaking the guidelines, then when I emailed to ask why they said it was a mistake and reinstated it! 🤷

Me, a public health person, just sitting over here reflecting on the fact that the US has experienced a 7% increase in infant mortality post-Dobbs. Like, do you realize what that says about this society from an ethical perspective? That we made policy choices that caused this? #PHEthx

Yet another article of this sort, this time from The Times asking if ‘pumping money’ into the NHS is good value. Perhaps these media outlets should start asking if the private management consultants are good value, or pushing to end PFI debt. Doubt they will though 🚨 www.thetimes.com/comment/colu...

We keep pumping money into the NHS. Is it good value?
Critics complain that our health service is bloated and inefficient — but the diagnosis is complex, and how does it compare with other countries?

It seems the great escape from X has only been a partial success. What Bluesky lacks in community is more than made up by accounts seeking funding-or selling stuff. Since my social media accounts never respond to requests for cash-nor buy anything advertised-Bluesky marketing elements all fall flat.

“Why don’t you stick to acting?” It’s a taunt I often have hurled at me. I am a gay man in America whose marriage is under threat. The last time Trump was in office, hate crimes against AAPIs skyrocketed. I care deeply about this country and the future of our democracy. I’ll stick to activism.

There is only one guarantee with PFI, long term corporate profits. It makes some individuals very rich. Corporations are destroying America don’t let them do it here. Corporate control of state assets is not compatible with democracy.
