#GetTheFckOutside #PirouetteForMentalHealth I am rocking it for you

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

#PrintMaking #lino I am making a raven for my husband's birthday It is not finished yet but I don't yet know what else I want

Great thread. So 1.7mn people work in the NHS. How many are getting educated about #mecfs? Oh.

#3GoodThings 1) Swimming!!!!! I did 1.5km which was more than the time before 2) watched an episode of Jonathan Creek during dinner (we watched it before, it is a comfort watch) 3) making split pea soup for tomorrow night

CW: BPD, CSA & the Epstein files I've been looking through some of the Epstein files and found some court papers for Ghislaine Maxwell's case. A psychiatrist for her defence evaluated one of Epstein’s victims in 2009 (named as "Victim 4"), regarding the victims civil suit against Epstein. 1/8

#SyncSwim Hi my friends. I love it when i have a lane for myself, and if it is not just me, than with people who swim similarly and we can go in an easy, cooperative flow Whatever type of movement you managed, I hope it was in a similar cooperative flow. I hope it satisfied you

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

#GetTheFckOutside #PLog Platform time!!!

Former Washington Post journalists have launched a GoFundMe to help repatriate fired staff members who are effectively stranded in foreign countries. One of the richest men in the world fired them from the paper and didn’t even pay to ensure they got home. Abolish the billionaire class:

One of the most sickening realizations I've ever had came when it hit me that six hundred years from now historians will be writing things like "while technically illegal, intercourse with minors was broadly accepted as normal among the American ruling class, and even a marker of status"

The thing I hadn't mentioned about my dad is that he has a girlfriend. He met her in Thailand (she is that Thai). I am happy that he has companionship and such, and she is nice and caring and such, but she speaks very little English and communication is limited. Anyway, they will undertake a

@jb-f.bsky.social Could you, when you feel up to it, take some pictures of subcutaan l Duncan for me? I want to make his portrait (i think from the side, but i am not 100 % sure yet). I hope Duncan doesn't feel too shy

I read Dogman today with the 7y old. We discussed the nature of evil cats and sentimental flashbacks. Later we played Stella spiritfarer and he had to keep on telling me which button to press

I just bought a new phone,(current phone having troubles) such a lot of stress, even though husband told me to buy the Fairphone so that part of stress (choose stress) was already handled. So now it should arrive tomorrow. And now i have to go and babysit the 7y old.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Too bad transphobes don’t care about evidence.

#SyncSwim It took a while but the last few laps felt good. But initially it was a bit of a struggle. Anyone else managed a swim? Or some other form of exercise? (Zumba? Football, poledancing, chair yoga, playing with the dog??) I'll incorporate it all in my mental syncing

ohhh ‘democracy dies in darkness’ was aspirational

Introduce yourself with the name your parents almost gave you. ;-) hello I am Deirdre. One day I came home from school complaining to my mom that a new girl was so awful and had such an awful name Deirdre (pronouncing it in a Dutch elongating way." Mom laughed, we almost called you Deirdre :-)

All of this is heartbreaking but the feedback from patients, including those on a children's ward is harrowing. “its creepy when I look up and see its red eyes looking at me. It feels like a monster is looking at me in the night”.

#GetTheFckOutside I offer you a rock moment

#lino #printmaking I made a sheep! I used a green background to print it on I also made a raven but I didn't take a picture of it and I am currently on my way home

“Creepy, unsafe and spying” This report is written to accompany our complaint to Oxford Health. We are asking questions as to whether personal connections and vested interests may have influenced decisions pertaining to the technology stopoxevision.wordpress.com/2026/02/03/c...

#GetTheFckOutside I went over the bridge, into the forest all the way towards the platform. But I couldn't easily reach it, it was full of puddles and very muddy and I just didn't feel up to it in the dark. So instead I offer you some pictures of the night sky

A great day to get Joanna Russ's "How to Suppress Women's Writing" from a local library and read it while you're striking. It's short. Everything she says about the erasure of women's voices from history goes for black, indigenous, brown, immigrant, genderqueer, disabled, and queer people, too.

Alarm bells are ringing in the Horn of Africa. Farms are no longer yielding, pests are spreading, and tropical diseases are emerging. Climate change is real, and it’s destroying lives. #ClimateCrisis #GlobalAction

Well worth reading this piece. I hadn't realised that #SexMatters had been so explicit in their intentions re trans children, specifically. This is the horror they are knowingly visiting on kids. And they dgaf if the kids kill themselves. Which a lot of them are (see @goodlawproject.org's posts).

Kenneth Zucker, one of the researchers on this study previously published a research paper where he asked adults to rate the physical attractiveness of children. Just to give you an idea of the types of people behind this m

If you see this, don't participate. It's a rigged study by Lisa Littman and unethical researcher J. Michael Bailey meant to undermine access to care. Spread the word.

Something nice for today. We organized a meeting for the communal garden. I made a carrot cake

This is so shocking. But as Jo rightly notes, it fades in comparison to what Palestinians experience every day at the hands of this brutal regime.

Never mind the jobs you had, tell me five classes you took at university. 🔹 Logica 1 (en 2) 🔹 Inleiding in wetenschapsfilosofie 🔹 Inleiding in wetenschapssociologie 🔹 Geweld in de twintigste eeuw 🔹 De filosofie van Hobbes (Looks like i am well prepared for fascist times)

#3GoodThings 1) got up nicely on time and cycled carefully to the GP's trough the snow 2) spend my day in a warm bed with a hot water bottle at my feet 3) watched "a body in the library" (1984 version)

Had an absolutely dreary day without energy. Need to get up early (early for me) tomorrow morning for appointment for ECG at the GP 's. Why is it all so much hassle

@magicalbeing.bsky.social Dear friends, time for bed. Hoop you'll sleep well

I am about to go to the GP (a locum, extra stress!!). The neurologist told me to make an appointment for an ECG when I raised the level of propranolol. I feel very uncertain about this! How will this go? Anyway, we will see.

#GetTheFckOutside Short evening walk You can see my breath, a red sky that isn't red in actuality but done by the camera and lastly some reeds

I seldom buy clothes. However, ...

#3GoodThings 1) a walk in nice sunny weather, passed a playground and made a video for a friend 2) my dad came for dinner. He didn't know whether he could because he was feeling ill, but he recovered amazingly from anti biotics 3) watched a new anime, sad and emotional but good "wonder egg priority"

#GetTheFckOutside I mentioned the substantial bridge I need to cross to get to the forest in the chat. I'll show you some pictures, mind it is a cycle/pedestrian bridge. It crosses a canal and 2 car roads.

#GetTheFckOutside Evening walk, just a little bit of darkness, nothing spectacular

URGENT: Very important action by @goodlawproject.bsky.social Transphobes are trying to infiltrate the Council of Europe to roll back LGBTQ+ human rights by writing en masse to MPs on the CoE. Please use this tool to write to those MPs to counter this. Do it now. We have a week. Please share.

#3GoodThings All in all a more active day 1) got delivery and I tidied it away 2) did some embroidery 3) been to the pool and swam 1 km

#SyncSwim Managed to go to the pool. I think I should work on a different turn. I cannot do a proper turn so i got used to a half turn with my left hand outstretched. But I think that stretching is overburdening me. So I am trying to adapt it to a less painful system.
