Paper Sisters by Rachel Canwell | #bookreview #historicalfiction | @northodoxpress.bsky.social Paper Sisters is the debut novel from author Rachel Canwell. It is inspired by the true story of a hospital which was kept in readiness for over sixty years and looked after by her family, but was never…

Great report from my colleagues at @thekingsfund.bsky.social Thing that most sticks with me: most of the public don't know how social care works, and are shocked when they find out how much they might have to pay for it. www.kingsfund.org.uk/insight-and-...

Some celebs are really over doing the ozempic at the moment aren't they? Not a good look imo. And not a good use for this medication.

Wonderful to pop along to see these amazing women recognised for their work empowering other women to cycle. From Cycle Sisters' Samra Said, to the amazing Emily Chappell, to campaigner Jean Dollimore, these names on Santander Cycles are a recognition of people transforming lives through cycling 💪

The end stages of dementia. Just grim. Yet genuine love and care shown by care home staff is of immeasurable value and such a comfort. #thebitterend

The Bayeux Tapestry up in lights at Piccadilly Circus! Tickets on sale from 1 July for the exhibition at the British Museum, opening in September. First chance in 1,000 years to see this iconic object back on British soil.

Spent the morning in Bath. Loved it.

My lovely father in law saw a book and thought of me. He knows me well. Frederick Douglass I have read. Not Harriet Jacobs.

A friend asked me if I’m mourning or celebrating today. It's both. I don’t mourn the machinery of the Islamic Republic. I mourn the children, the men and women caught beneath it and the fire from foreign dragons. The innocent always pay first and pay most. 1/2

Inspired by an interview with #SuzieMiller I read 2 plays #primafacie & #Interalia They are a challenge to justice, the law and the way we parent, from within. Her protagonists are schooled in the law. When they find themselves victims & parents of a perpetrator, they experience its full horror.

Jodie Comer was outstanding in play Prima Facie by Suzie Miller in Bath this evening. Highlighting such an important issue of how system stacked against women in securing conviction in cases of rape.

Fabulous day in Bath...

Its going to be phenomenal. So much musical talent. And what a legend Jarvis Cocker is! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

For anyone who knows about HeLa cells www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Just love this. The city of Manchester totally embracing hosting the Brit awards. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Rather splendid weekend ahead. Going to Bath with Uni friend. To see Jodie Comer in Prima Facie. With visit to Roman Baths and meal at a nice restaurant planned.

Reading this out loud with my almost 13 year old daughter. Scottish accents included. And its an absolute joy. For me anyway! 'Creme de la creme' 'in my prime'

Heard this Simple Minds track earlier this week on BBC6music. Been an ear worm ever since. Here's a recent live version with the fabulous Cherisse Osei on drums. m.youtube.com/watch?v=0860...

Good for her shining a light on this. Too often this sort of thing goes on in the shadows.

when people talk about AI used in moderation of social media posts, you must remember there is always the human-in-the-loop, often a woman, often in the Global South, always dehumanised and forgotten 1/n www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

Byeeee piano innards. Off for a full refurb. 40+ years of practice for innumerable grade exams, two diplomas, wild compositions, a move across the Tasman, accidental biscuit crumbs and drink spills. Come back soon! 🎶🙏

Yes, the #Medicare #waiver requires the #patient to have either been seen in an #emergencydepartment or coming from an #inpatient #hospital. We actually previously took a few patients directly from home into our (now defunct) HCAH program, but we weren't paid for those visits at all 🤦‍♀️

I agree. And #hospitals are doing everything they can to make their jobs harder by making it impossible to do anything to get alternative sites of care for people who don't need the #ED (increasing #primarycare, #hospitalathome [even if you have program, #Medicare requires ED first], etc
