@plaidcymru.bsky.social @rhunapiorwerth.bsky.social You need to read this. Every last one of you needs to read this And then read it again. And again. And again until you realise you're part of the problem now Get the NWJCC bought to heel by firing ian green, juliet brown, and iolo dull
Iolo dull, on the NWJCC "town hall" held on September 22nd 2026, holding his middle finger up as the representative from Llais made what I'm sure she thought was adequate representations for the Welsh trans community (hint: it wasn't by a country megaparsec)

Leaving the UK with a heavy heart
Today, as a family, we have booked our flights and our one-way ticket out of the UK. This has not felt like a choice. This feels like fleeing to protect ourselves. For the past 7 years we have look…

Those Ancient Greeks were really onto something when they shoved hope into a jar with all the evils of the world If all you have is hope then you have nothing at all; & that's why it belonged in Pandora's jar; the false promise things will be better if you just buy the magic beans one more time

Today is the only day I will entertain the American date system, but on this first 9-25 Dolly Day, what are you reading? I am getting through Joe Heller's last novel, the sequel to Catch-22, Closing Time
A photo of the cover of a 1st edition copy of "Closing Time", Joseph Heller's last novel and the sequel to his first novel, the book he is most famous for, "Catch-22".

Joseph Heller's name is at the top in gold lettering, just under the smoke trails from the engines of a B-52 bomber as an homage to the events of Catch-22.

Underneath the authors name is a shadow image of 7 people in various poses while holding each others hands in a chain.

Underneath the people is the novel's title in large black capitalised lettering, "Closing Time"

And under that is a small tagline that states the book is the sequel to Catch-22

So it gets even worse than not being able to identify literally any evidence that could justify cancelling surgery; what pathetically miniscule 'evidence' they have was raised in July by GDNRSS. Not only were the cancellations not justified at any time, the evil fucks sat on their 'best evidence'

None of the points they presented made any sense at all *thru a good faith lens* Family complaints? Who the fuck cares once someone meets the base >18 criteria; the patient is legally and reasonably able to consent without parental input at that point. GDNRSS? So what if Wales refers more people?

It's not good enough. They avoided the question regarding what happens if the review finds any (see: all) of the 60 patients were "inappropriate referrals" and they lose their surgical pathway entirely These people need firing. How they're still in nhs jobs right now is entirely beyond me

I do believe the legal term for Scottish ministers is not "unassailable" but "per incuriam", especially since hodge wrote that unhinged anti gay marriage screed in 2016, and just happens to be chums with a certain funder of anti trans lawsuits

"we have always been bastards to women and OAPs, in particular by underpaying them – which they have always accepted – therefore this traditional discrimination behoves us to maintain this status quo. This may upset some of you, and some of you may die, but that's a sacrifice we are willing to make"

Oh and I should also add that I hold the government, including Andy Burnham personally responsible for each and every one of these incidents. He has given bigots a blank cheque to police and harass trans people out of public life. The buck stops with him and the Labour Party.

The NWJCC is having a public committee meeting on the 22nd of September. This will be online only and you cannot show your camera, unmute your mic, or comment. However, you can request to be present and I think we should get as many people attending as possible.

To join, you need to email: NWJCC@wales.nhs.uk

I am emailing to request attendance at the next meeting on the 22nd September 2026.

"Alzheimer’s Protein Detected in Long COVID Patients" "Patients with neurocognitive difficulties post COVID-19 infection displayed a significant increase in their blood plasma of a crucial protein linked to neurodegenerative diseases and found in many Alzheimer’s patients."
This image features an article header from Respiratory Therapy (RT) dated January 14, 2026, titled "Alzheimer's Protein Detected in Long COVID Patients."
Below the headline is a large, vibrant microscopic image showing a large, textured purple spherical cell structure covered in tiny, teal-coloured viral particles (resembling coronaviruses).
The bottom half of the image lists RT's Three Key Takeaways:
1.	Elevated tau after Long COVID: Individuals with neurological post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (N-PASC) showed a 59% increase in plasma pTau-181, a biomarker linked to neurogeneration and Alzheimer's disease, compared to pre-COVID levels and matched controls.
2.	Duration matters: Tau elevations were greatest in those with neurocognitive symptoms lasting longer than 1.5 years, suggesting prolonged Long COVID symptoms may be associated with worsening or persistent neurological injury over time.
3.	Implications and caution: While findings raise concern about increased risk for later neurodegenerative disease, researchers stress that further studies and broader population samples are needed to determine if elevated blood tau reflects progressive brain pathology.
