Palliative care folk 📣 This matters. Around the world, treaties intended to control illegal drugs also prevent patient access to medicinal opioid supplies. Please respond. Better treaties could prevent unnecessary suffering. The problem is often worst in countries with fewest helathcare resources.

My first thought as the UK fire risk alert rang out was for those (mainly) women suffering domestic abuse who keep a hidden phone. You can opt out: remember to renew after any update.

What's the plan, @newhamcouncil.bsky.social? Businesses that support literacy, writers & schools as enthusiastically as @newhambookshop.bsky.social are treasures in our communities. I know balancing the books is hard for LAs, but losses of literacy opportunity must be weighed in that balance, too.

If a picture paints a thousand words but only reinforces the inaccurate perceptions of the viewer, it does a disservice to the writer, the population being described, & the viewer. It's time to see image selection as an essential component of The Work. Should authors provide images as much as words?

Dr Kathryn Mannix @drkathrynmannix.bsky.social · 04/08/2026

Geriatrics specialists put a call-out for better images a few years ago to displace the usual & unrepresentative images of sedentary frail elders. Palliative care folk deplore the 'wrinkly hands' images routinely used to represent care of the sickest people. What these all have in common is that ➡️

I don't know how we get around the difficulty of quotes out of context or unrepresentative stock photos. Finding a sweet spot on the continuum between lazily exploitative, overgeneralised sensationalism & identifiable personal images/testimony is an issue in other areas, too: ➡️

Brava, Donna! Thank you for saying this with such clarity. We gather personal information in clinical and research work, entrusted to us and the organisations in which we work. It's essential that we report it well, offering representation without exploitation. You've got me thinking 🤔 ➡️

Sure, some men are jerks. Like the ‘influencer’ who carried a bath to the top of Snowdon for a selfie and dumped it there. But other men are heroes, like the teenage rugby team who carried it down. Well done lads. We see you. Show your sons. www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/rugby/...

This reminds me of the grief felt as a loved one's health deteriorates: we mourn each version of them as it changes, we mourn our lost expectations of the way our shared futures might have been, & we anticipate with dread the subsequent steps in their deterioration as well as their eventual death.

We keep the group small, & learning is sequential, building from session to session. So: - note the dates & times - check times in your time zone (UK switches from summer to winter time mid-course). - book study leave for all dates before you pay - diary your pre-session 'settling-in time' too. ⬇️

Absolutely this. Awareness of impermanence sweetens the joyful moment, blesses the painful moment, elevates the humdrum moment, sharpens our appreciation of being here at all. Always beautiful to exchange knowing glances with another impermanence appreciator as we momentarily whirl past each other.
