The death of woke is Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard thinking this was an appropriate thing to share to her 16 million followers, during Domestic Abuse Awareness month, when a woman or girl is killed by a man known to them every 10 minutes.

New cursed children's book series just dropped

New non-fiction books by the Catz community: 📚 Fellow @andrzejharris.bsky.social‬ (2020) co-wrote 'The Stitch-Up' (2025, Chatto & Windus) with @emmaszewczak.bsky.social 📚 Alumnus Phil Craig (1978, History) is celebrating the publication of '1945: The Reckoning' (2025, @hodderbooks.bsky.social‬)

Publication day!! Can't believe our book The Stitch-Up: How Medical Misogyny Harms Us All is finally out, it has been a real marathon - a marathon with my cervix hanging out of my vagina for the last 23 and a half miles.

Well that was a *mad week*. Really looking forward to our book launching on thursday!! (no book launch though because I'm a wet blanket)

Very interested to read this (pre-ordered), @emmaszewczak.bsky.social (and all the more so after @doctoroxford.com's review in @theobserveruk.bsky.social observer.co.uk/culture/book...

"Secrecy, stigma, blame & ignorance run like toxic waste through The Stitch-Up, a fierce polemic about the medical misogyny & gender violence that disfigure healthcare." Delighted to review @emmaszewczak.bsky.social's powerful new book for @theobserveruk.bsky.social. Courageous, candid & timely.

Emma Szewczak suffered a devastating prolapse after the birth of her second child. She reveals how the medical profession fails women like her

The private pain of prolapse: six things I wish I’d known – from sex to exercise to mental health. Pelvic organ prolapse affects around half of all women, yet it is little understood and very rarely discussed, by @emmaszewczak.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/society/2025... via @theguardian.com

God when he decided to give us free will

Kev's on bluesky... and he's ready

Leaving my in-laws wearing this after initiating back-to-back arguments all christmas:

Just realised that Andrzej's parents actively turned motion smoothing back ON after we turned it off in the summer

Walked into the room in my Lucy and Yak overalls and my Polish Father-in-Law goes "home for christmas from the shipyards of Gdansk"

I have never in my life wanted to be in the UK before now

In Poland, don't know what a vpn is, sincerely want to hurt every single person talking about Wallace and Gromit

Bought these Little Miss books in Polish. Thought I'd check the translations. Can you guess the English language titles from these lol

I saw mommy fellating santa claus

51 of the men who raped Gisèle Pelicot

The lengths my GP goes to to try and hide their phone number on their website. Well, good luck, because I've got you on speed dial you stupid bastards

Speaking of medical misogyny (😩) my book has a cover now

My son's ill and off school and my daughter, in a fit of jealously, hid the tv remote.

With the fall of Assad, I'm thinking of journalist Marie Colvin who was murdered by his regime in 2012 during the Siege of Homs. Here's her final broadcast recorded in Syria hours before her death youtu.be/XL-okvk34qk?...

And *this* is the context we're bringing assisted dying into

Sade has a new song out and it's a beautiful tribute to her trans son! Prepare to bawl 😭❤️😭❤️😭 #blacksky youtu.be/IFMmnMjFiPk?...

This sums up everything that's misunderstood about assisted dying: most of these people do not have access to "decent lives" in the first place

By way of an update/introduction - my book "The Stitch-Up: How Medical Misogyny Harms Us All" co-written by Dr @andrzejharris.bsky.social is finally coming out in May 2025!! Keen to link up with people interested in any aspect of gender violence in healthcare.

An administration all-round committed to the slaughter of the young.

Coming to terms with the fact I will never be on a list of people to follow because there are no lists for unemployed people who eat corned beef straight out of the tin

Update on my "coming off antidepressants" journey: today I ate a dog treat in a restaurant because I thought it was a bowl of sweets

I have read too many stories in the past few years of babies dying or being grossly harmed during childbirth in a devastatingly underfunded NHS not to laugh at the use of the term "heartbroken" here

One thing that I hope will be different on bluesky than on twitter is americans

First they came for the 6A and I did not speak up... then they came for the 1F and I did not speak up... then they came for the 2F and there was no one left to speak for me

I think I'm going to kill someone

Can someone explain to me how blue sky is full of all the same people making all the same jokes and somehow they're 20% less funny here than...elsewhere

in Liverpool and everytime someone's nice to me in public (constantly) I instinctively think they're being sarcastic

We're in the car, a police car just drove past, and my kids chanted together "oink oink piggy piggy!" Always humbling to hear your own voice in the mouths of babes

come up with a funny joke, can either a. post on twitter for fascists b. post on here for no one c. post on both and commit cardinal sin of telling a funny joke twice

look what the cat dragged in (me)

so did this place ever catch on?

started 2023 not being able to drive, ended 2023 not being able to drive, and long may that continue 💪

when in Rome (Whitstable) be gay (vomit them back in the toilets)

I actually like posting on two text-based platforms at the same time and that is because I am mentally ill

I would change my name on here to something "spooky" but a polish name for british people is already frightening enough
