16 weeks of training. Hundreds of kilometres run. And it all comes down to this. Tomorrow I’ll be running my first marathon for the Children’s Cancer Institute! #curingchildhoodcancer #notifitswhen #sydneymarathon sm25.grassrootz.com/ccia/ruth-mi...

We cannot stay silent. I am proud to have joined this call by Australian doctors for meaningful government action to end the loss of life in #Gaza. #healthcarenotwarfare #notatarget

WE CANNOT STAY SILENT
Australian doctors call for government action to end the loss of life in Gaza.
We are Australian doctors deeply concerned by the ongoinghumanitarian catastrophe in Gaza and the occupied WestBank, As members of a protession dedicated to preserving
life, relieving suffering, and upholding human dignity,
we are profoundly disturbed by the images and personal
accounts from colleagues witnessing the devastating impact of this conflict on the Palestinian people.
Respected international bodies, including the World HealthOrganization （WHO）， Medecins Sans Frontieres （MSF），the
International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) report the following:
• 53,000 people killed
• 15,600 children killed
• 1,400 healthcare workers killed
• 300 healthcare workers abducted or detained
• 36 hospitals bombed or rendered non-functional
• Medical equipment deliberately destroyed after forced
hospital evacuations
• More than 2 million people displaced
• Over 470,000 people facing catastrophic levels of food insecurity (IPC Phase 5)
• Patients, including children in intensive care, dying due to
lack of access to medical treatment
• Patients killed while in hospital receiving treatment
• Amputations performed on children without anaesthesia
or pain relief
• The ceasing of immunisation programs, with increased risk of life threatening preventable disease outbreaks
•Malnutrition, trauma,and lack of access to clean water
severely impairing child development
• Over 1 million children needing mental health and psychosocial support
We urgently call on the Australian Government to：
• Call for an immediate and sustained ceasefire
• Demand Israel abides by international law and ends the targeting of civilians, healthcare workers and medical infrastructure
• Advocate forthe unconditional release of all Israeli and
Palestinian hostages
• Insist on and support unimpeded access for humanitarian aid
•Take me…

When you meet @glaucomflecken.bsky.social and he’s even more amazing in actual human person. Fantastic discussion about pituitary tumours causing visual field defects. And my glasses. The ophthalmologist likes my glasses. #RACS25 #meetyourheroes #skullbasesurgery #visualfields #neurosurgery

Ruth and Dr Glaucomflecken are standing and smiling. Ruth has yellow glasses.

Thinking of Bethlehem tonight. And Gaza.

There is a Christmas tree in the foreground. Behind, an upright piano holds the music to the Christmas carol ‘O little town of Bethlehem’. There is a yellow balloon under the piano stool.

The earrings say ‘Sweet Baby Cheeses’. In my defence, they were also a gift.

It is night time at the beach. The sea is dark blue in the background and green in the foreground where an ocean pool with concrete walls and details protects from the waves beyond.

The astonishing tranquility of the Lotus Temple in a sea of people will stay with me for a long time. I’m grateful for the vision of the Bahá’í people who saw the value in a house of prayer and contemplation for all people. #Delhi #lotustemple #sunset #sunspot

The lotus temple is a white building shaped like a lotus. The sun is beginning to set behind it. There are lots of people in the foreground, waiting to go in.

Well this was excellent. I would love to have a conversation with Arundhati Roy, and reading this was the next best thing. Essential reading if you want to interrogate the state of the world.
