You should go and see Rachel. She's very good, but also, the balls it takes to do a post like this - in a climate where comedians are encouraged to post nothing but wins, forever - merits your attendance on its own.

This is what brain fog is, and why it is so debilitating. It’s also suffering deep burns on your hands because your reactions were too slow to notice they were being seared by the oven rack. #chronicillness #brainfog #disability

I once lost a glove and it was on my hand the whole time. I kid you not. Witnessed by two family members.

The lists are curated by a nurse clinic in response to the consents they receive. They have access to the NHS records but they also double check everything on the day. School just send the sign up link to parents, then organise the kids on the day, & the nurses go in and administer the vaccine.

"Never be afraid to make some noise. It is their shame, not yours."
@kbarton1001
On my first big overseas client conference, I was at a dinner seated next to a drunk client who kept trying to fondle me under the table. I was young, distressed, and had no idea what to do. I moved my legs as far away from him as I could, moving into the space of the man next to me, who then started patting my legs! The Regional Manager was a French woman who caught my eye, gestured for me to go to the bathroom and when I came back had switched chairs with me.
What happed next was epic. A few minutes after I sat back down, she raised her hand with his hand captured in hers and announced loudly "Does anyone know whose hand this is? I found it in my lap." There was dead silence at the table. She threw his hand back at him and said calmly "next time I pick it up with my fork." Then she started a new conversational thread and things moved on.
After the meeting she found me, gave me a hug, and said seriously "Never be afraid to make some noise. It is their shame, not yours."

I don’t have TikTok so I don’t know who defiance13 is, but this is the most clear and comprehensive commentary on ‘protecting women’ I have ever seen. This should be showed in school assemblies. #protectingwomen #cornell

A personal story about that phrase “young men of fighting age” applied to asylum seekers. As many of you know I took in a young Ukrainian woman under the Homes for Ukraine scheme. As part of that process, soon after she arrived we were visited by the local authority rep and a Fire Brigade rep.

Lunch lovely, though not as good as the homemade roast we usually have, cooked by my father-in-law. Bottom’s books still have a hold on me, even though I haven’t re-read any for years. Currently reading Eva Ibbotson.

As much as I’m inclined to agree, is this possibly a case of survivor bias? Whatever their legacy, are her books so unwanted that they are being discarded by children, who are keeping books by other authors that they prefer? Apologies if I’ve read the post wrong - very boozy Sunday lunch here 😂

🧵 I've noticed recently that more people are posting images without alt-text, so I'd like to make a plea to include it. Not only does it help with accessibility, but it also makes your images easier to search, and increases your reach. In detail: 1/5

Great experience today at The King’s Arms in Trowbridge. Our table had a music speaker above it and my poor deaf dad couldn’t hear us so the staff instantly switched it off. Not everywhere is as accommodating sadly.

Our beautiful longhair light brown LaPerm (curly-haired) cat strikes a pose next to a Grammy Award in an image not dissimilar to His Master’s Voice (HMV). But he’s a cat so he’s doing it the wrong way round because you can’t tell a cat what to do. In the background is a window and lace curtain and there is brown tiling. #caturday

Let them fuck around and find out. Remove all benefits and pensions because foreign residents don’t get those. The right to work, because asylum seekers don’t get that either. This country treats foreign residents of all flavours like shit; let them learn that. bsky.app/profile/gayr...

Can we please stop calling Postpartum Psychosis a rare condition? The data is hugely inaccurate due to late/incorrect diagnosis. I had symptoms for 18 months before receiving treatment so I’m not included in those figures. Neither is my friend who had to be hospitalised. How many others?

I will always be grateful to Dawson’s Creek for introducing me to Dolly Parton’s I Will Always Love You. I’d only ever heard the Whitney Houston version and the original blew me away.

I think the universal grieving comes in no small part from the fact she represented the best of what America could be, and that she never stopped chasing that ideal, artistically and socially

Not a film, but have you seen Ride or Die? Led by Hannah Waddingham and Octavia Spencer. We binged the whole season and it was a riot. Nothing intellectual, just a glorious escape from reality.

they should be more mad about the VIP lanes for PPE and eat out to help out, but that might mean upsetting a few of their chums...the money wasted on those two things could have given every child a laptop, internet access and world class education throughout, and there'd still be some to spare

Indeed, into the depths of heartlessness. Appointing Mahmood is a reason for severe doubts about Burnham. Insensitive, obtuse - where to stop?...

"Scrap" not "water down", and boot Mahmood out of position and onto the backbenchers, if not remove the whip, while he is at it. You cannot water down Labour's current hostile and xenophobic anti-immigration/anti-asylum policies. They are too far towards the extreme right for tweaks to mean anything
Labour MPs tell Burnham to water down Mahmood’s migration reforms
Backbenchers criticise Home Secretary’s ‘hostile rhetoric’ about immigration in letter to Makerfield MP

No country in the world has full legal equality for women. To do so would mean no measurable gaps in: ⏺️Pay and lifetime earnings ⏺️Representation in top corporate leadership ⏺️Unpaid care and domestic work burden ⏺️Gender based violence and safety outcomes ⏺️Health and economic security differences

I hate throwing things out, especially items I love. I have a favourite pair of DKNY sandals about a decade old with an elastic connection threadbare between the leather strap and the buckle. Today I fixed them with some leftover edging from an ancient project. #SustainableLiving #ReuseRecycle

Men often turn violent when they are rejected by women because they are socialised to believe they are owed women. Whereas women are socialised to believe they deserve nothing and therefore just shrug it off.

Actually I think it may have been the nail in the coffin for Gove. The hatred from the teams and the audience was palpable. Appropriately viscous.
