Kelly chemo coiffure, day 28. Further to revelation that I have a chemically-induced allover bald spot... I suddenly realise that many of my role models are slapheads...

Did anyone notice the Hotstepper leave? I think he might have snuck out.

I mean, yes. it's abundantly clear that seemingly no-one in the US gives a monkeys about whether their leaders have good judgement. That has not gone unnoticed, it just seems potty. bsky.app/profile/pwgt...

Huge if true.

I try very hard not to revel in the misfortune of others when it comes to football, because I know how much it can hurt, and I can't wish that on people I care about. Even though Spurs conceding could be massive for #nffc, just how cruel can this sport of ours be?

I did some research to try and figure out when my death date would be if there had been no treatment for my cancer. I don't know why I assumed it would be some date in the future, but, in fact, I passed the middle of the "no treatment survival" bell curve more than a year ago. Thanks chemo.

A prediction. Just as hearing you've contracted HIV means something completely different now to what it did in the 1980s, mRNA treatments will, in our lifetime, completely change what it means to hear you've got cancer. For the US to let others win that race is potty. bsky.app/profile/theu...

This will be my last shift for the mission. Shift starts when the spacecraft hits the water and ends when it’s hard down in the well deck of the Navy ship that will bring Integrity back to shore.

Blaming the Home Office for your failure to go "hm, maybe we shouldn't be headlining someone who's repeatedly demonstrated he's a Nazi" is a bit fucking rich, tbh.

😮 Awesome views from Day 2 of #Artemis II this morning. @exploration.esa.int @esaearth.esa.int

The Artemis astronauts much, *much* further away from Earth than anyone has been since Apollo. The ISS, and everyone in low Earth orbit, is barely above our thin atmosphere. Orion is already twice as far away as our geostationary communication satellites.
