📢 Congenital heart disease is no longer only a pediatric condition. Europe 🇪🇺 is now entering a new reality: the ageing-CHD era — a success story of medical progress, but also a call for action. Living longer means new needs, survival was the first milestone. Quality of life must be the next.

Very happy to be around and trying to have a good run at this thing called life.

🥳 Thanks to medical progress, most children born with congenital heart disease today grow into adulthood. t also means learning to navigate healthcare on your own. And growing up with it is not only about survival — it’s about learning how to live. 💝

Day 1458 of Russia's full invasion and so begins another daily thread. But today also marks another important anniversary. It's 12 years ago today that Putin started the invasion of Crimea, as confirmed by the medals he gave out later. All the news, all the time. #TeamTim

18-34 Londoners say they want to live where there's dockless hire, say cycling schemes & transport policy is important according to new Lime & SpareRoom surveys. 67% say cycling makes London more "liveable" & nearly 1/2 see cycling as a "green flag" for dating. airqualitynews.com/cars-freight...

Living with the realization that I especially died before I even was 2 days old has certainly affected my perspective on life. Still, this is my normal so it's difficult to gauge how much of an impact it's really had on my #MentalHealth.

Growing up, my parents were very protective of me yet they still encouraged me to try different activities. Hiking and scouting was great, as was sailing, but it was when I first ventured further afield on my bike that I found my true self.

Guy relaxing in the gulf takes forever to notice the manatee that swam up behind him. This guy looked like he was either lost in his thoughts or peeing in the water, either way his reaction was priceless. #funny #nature #beach #florida #animals #ocean #sea

My last (3/3) operation was when I was in preschool. I was away for about a month and all the kids drew pictures of me with a scar on my belly. I still have those 38 years later I still have them tucked away safely in a shoebox

A lovely day for a spot of ice skating at the old prison and quarry in #Rummu. The prepared track is short and was, at times, rather busy. The long loop on the quarry was a bit rough for hockey skates.

#OnThisDay 10 years ago, I had the opportunity to extend my work trip #Rovaniemi by turning it into a long weekend.

👉 This is us. This is our mission. CHD is not something you outgrow — it’s a lifelong condition, and care must reflect that. ❤️‍🩹 We advocate for better standards of medical and psychosocial care, access to safe medicines, and equal treatment across Europe. We are ECHDO. 🇪🇺

As Sophie walks out to the launchpad, the French flag on her shoulder and the ESA emblem on her suit say it all - national pride and European unity, together in orbit. As DG of @esa.int, I couldn’t be prouder. Bon voyage, Sophie. Europe is with you every step of the way 🚀

Good morning. Today I'm starting the day off with a little adventure. #LegalAlien

Post a banger that's not in English.

This is one of the best things I've read in a long time!

Don't look at me, Steve!?

Good morning, #Helsinki!

Living with CHD has taught me this: mental and physical health are not separate. When life changes the balance, you have to find a new one. Read Annabel's full story here: echdo.eu/content/chd

Three surgeries before the age of 7 and daily meditation until I was 14. Around that time, the annual check-ups became biennual and, later, triennial. #CHD

It was only -11°C when we were out ice skating during the afternoon. #winter #weather

Born in 1981 with an interrupted aortic arch (IAA) and ventricular septal defect (VSD). Had three heart operations in early childhood, the last when I was 6. Regularly cardiologist visits that became less frequent as I grew older and stronger. I've done multiple 1-2 week long bike tours.

So there’s currently a nation-wide blackout in Ukraine, no heating, no water, no nothing, while this is the weather

#ArtemisII update: because of weather conditions, NASA now plans to fuel the Artemis II Moon rocket on 2 February. The earliest possible launch date is 8 February. A launch date will be set after the results of the wet dress rehearsal have been reviewed 👉 go.nasa.gov/4rrJ9Xc @exploration.esa.int

"Our goal with this mission is to demonstrate real progress, and to achieve that, we will once again push our systems to their limits. We are ready to proceed within the next available launch window." #IsarAerospace

"Even if Estonia sees three to five consecutive snowy and cold winters, it would only represent a temporary deviation. Since the 1950s and especially over the past half-century, Estonia's average air temperature has been steadily and unmistakably rising." #weather vs #climate

Shhh, It's a secret! 🤫

Today, Ukrainian humor looks like this. Because when reality is absurd, humor becomes survival. 🇺🇦
