We have only 2.4 hospital beds per 1000 people, compared to 7.8 in Germany, 5.8 in France & an OECD average of 5.0. We also have 1 in 8 beds occupied by medically fit patients needing social care - an issue that Labour won’t definitively address until 2028 at the earliest. Simply disastrous. (2/2)

The last photo of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, detained after refusing to abandon his colleagues and patients. In just one image, we see both the power of Palestinian humanity and the moral weakness of all those complicit in genocide. End all arms sales to Israel, now.

Can we just admit that we NEED immigrants for our economy to run, from agriculture to high tech? We’re a goddamn nation of immigrants, aren’t we? Let’s be proud of our immigrant heritage!

During my PhD I experienced severe anxiety and depression, along with suicide ideation. Thankfully I got help and I'm still here. As a student I went to find a book mental illness and how to cope during a PhD and didn't find one. That's how "Managing Your Mental Health During Your PhD" came to be.

Would you know how to treat a burn? Remember the three C's 👇 1⃣ Clothing: remove it from the affected area 2⃣ Cool the wound with running water 3⃣ Cover the wound once cool Attend A&E immediately if the wound is bigger than your hand, very deep or on your hand, face or neck.

"You're not like my 8 year old autistic son!" Many things are out of kids control - uncomfy clothes, loud noises, food, confusing rules. As an adult, I make my own choices. I wear, eat and do what I like, if I don't, I get overloaded. That's why I don't remind you of your 8 year old autistic son.

Aside from monotropism, sensory processing differences, the double empathy problem, and pervasive drive for autonomy, are there any other autism theories that are not stigmatising and based on differences as autistic people experience them?

With assisted dying dominating the news, please take a moment to consider your own wishes around the end of life. It's surprisingly quick & easy to plan ahead. This guide from @hospiceuk.bsky.social covers advance care plans, powers of attorney etc. So useful. www.hospiceuk.org/information-...

Planning ahead

Planning things like what type of funeral you want and who to leave your belongings to can make your final days easier, giving you more time with family and friends.

This…this is it. In a nutshell, yes.

Post by Charlotte Clymer:

Every transphobic argument can basically be boiled down to: "I actually don't know the science at all or have a good argument here, but trans people challenge my long held view of the world and it's very uncomfortable and everyone should be expected to move around my discomfort."

#LowDemand parenting ideas to help make family life a bit easier - especially if you’re all #neurodivergent Inspired by the amazing Dr Ross Greene @LITB_

Title low arousal approach parent version. Pale pastel coloured speech bubbles inside each speech bubble is text reading the following;
Think about if it really matters in the very moment- what is your end goal?
There’s always a plan B (or C or D!),
It’s not about giving in to your child’s wants, it’s about meeting their emotional needs first,
Most parental stress is caused by perceived expectations of what you think you should do,
Check in with your own feelings, take a few moments to regulate yourself. Follow @ autistic realms

An autistic person who isn't communicating the same way you would isn’t necessarily communicating wrongly. It's a two way process. It's not solely the responsibility of autistic people to resolve communication problems. If you're non autistic, ask yourself what you can do to improve the situation.

Thread for those new to BlueSky. First of all, welcome. It feels like a safer space, doesn’t it? But also perhaps a bit disorienting initially? Here’s some tips for getting your bearings.
