Meg .ca@dartmouthmeg.bsky.social · 5mo agoToday's doctor decided to try and get my IUD out, despite me saying that several other doctors have tried, it NEEDS surgical removal. But what do I know, I'm just the one who is now crampy and bleeding and still has my 14 year old IUD still in place.

He skipped church. Dropped the F-bomb. Praised Allah. On Easter. You can’t make this up. The man tweets war threats while you hunt eggs with your kids. THIS is your president, America. Wake up.
The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.
My quality of life has improved immensely by installing the #Merlin app. There's a whole world out there we can remain oblivious to. 🙂

Academic writers often feel uncomfortable but that’s often OK Here’s why patthomson.net/2026/03/08/g...
getting comfortable with being uncomfortable
Good academic writing means sitting with a discomfort that never entirely goes away. It’s not a discomfort that comes from having nothing to say. Most of us have more than enough ideas crowding the…

Newspapers that told their readers austerity, Brexit, Johnson & Truss would be brilliant are attacking the British Prime Minister for not unquestioningly following a lunatic President into an illegal attack. And on social media, he gets attacked from the other 'side' for doing the precise opposite!
On 5 March 2026 I'll be at @srhe.bsky.social in conversation with @mannymadriaga.bsky.social @colinmccaig.bsky.social & Arun Verma on "Changing conceptions of EDI in HE policy and practice" 1000-1500. Still time to register! srhe.ac.uk/civicrm/?civ...
