Ada Palmer@adapalmer.bsky.social · 3w agoEndometriosis takes nine years to diagnose. That’s about to change. NICE has approved two tests: a saliva test reading microRNA markers, and a gut-sensor test returning results in 45 minutes, sparing women the keyhole surgery currently needed. buff.ly/QX3jHk8 #ShareGoodNewsToo
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
We binge-watched the second season of The Undeclared War this week. Hoping season 3 has already been commissioned. Great telly.
Indeed, into the depths of heartlessness. Appointing Mahmood is a reason for severe doubts about Burnham. Insensitive, obtuse - where to stop?...
In love with the green dress VCM is wearing on #OnlyConnect this evening. Quizzy Monday is BACK 🥳
"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
I was ‘hallucinating’ facts and writing them into an essay 3 decades before AI started doing it.
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
In an unexpected turn of events, the heatwave is improving all my symptoms, including fatigue, pain and eyesight. But I wish the planet didn’t have to burn to make me healthy again 😢
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.
I have raspberries ripening to red in the garden. In May. Insane. As much as the heat is beneficial for my pain, I don’t want the whole world to burn just so I can feel my fingertips.
Lovely surprise this morning when @chaletfan.bsky.social appeared as a guest on a 2024 episode of the Tophole podcast with Deborah Lofas. 📚 🧁
"Most of us are deciding in real time what we can afford to spend and what we need to let go of, mid-task, mid-afternoon, mid-whatever. Most of us are making trade-offs that don’t have a clean answer.": buff.ly/BORDz0V by @thethrivingspoonie.com #pacing #ChronicPain #ChronicIllness #ChronicFatigue

Couldn’t watch any Eurovision stuff this year due to Israel’s participation. Rest of the family are watching, and I did think I would miss it, but I’ve used too many spoons today and all I want is bed and quietness. So now it doesn’t even feel like a real boycott 😩 Hope not Hate. Love and Peace.

Absolutely fuck you, Amazon. When I bought this device there was no mention of my purchase being time limited at your discretion. It does not require software updates, so the only "support" necessary is that kindle books are available in a format that can be sent to it. This shouldn't be legal.

Reposting this again because more people need to be asking this question. Tate is grim and should be in jail but I suspect he’s not a big enough player to be Epstein’s successor.
Mike@democratmikefrompa.bsky.social · 6mo agoThe scariest question I have today is…Who took Epstein’s place in his most heinous role as procurer of the innocent?!? You know that this was a business go these animals and there is always another scumbag in line…

Could anyone point me to a list of Reform candidates (councillors or MPs) voted in and Reform candidates who lost?
“UKIP's here.” New Reform councillor has to be corrected on which party he now represents
I have a solution to multiple problems here, which is that it would be very easy to hang the Union Jack the right way up if we threw a great big dragon in the middle
Taco the Cat@tacothecat.bsky.social · 4mo agoI was these many years old when I learned the Union Jack is not symmetrical. Now I can’t unsee it.
Yep. Every damn day. If my pain is coming through to the point where it’s visible, I shouldn’t be out of bed.
