This is a superb review of my book by @jdquin.bsky.social in @thequietus.com thequietus.com/culture/book...

Meaning, Medications, and Psychodynamic Psychopharmacology: Discussion with David Mintz Exploring medication effects mediated symbolically www.psychiatrymargins.com/p/meaning-me...

It is time. #EarringAdvent

​The Chinese Room Argument's fallacy of the passive executor. We present the Glass Room metaphor, showing that LLMs, as Complex Adaptive Systems, resolve internal semantic conflicts via emergence. The system now understands the consequence of the symbols it manipulates. zenodo.org/records/1772...

What's going on with women's centres... ? lets start a conversation please. would love to hear from other countries to about similar developments

After organising the Pan-London Forensic teaching for several years, feels very strange to not be there! What a fantastic programme. I’m a little envious.

Just realised this is referring to a church in North Carolina and not the Welsh singer

Excellent neuropsych event with @mikejay.bsky.social this evening. Enjoyed the nod to the forensic psychiatry conflict! Excited to read the book.

Really enjoyed hearing Dr Gibbons talk about this paper today. Led to some fascinating discussions in the room. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

This is your annual reminder to go to the Koestler Exhibition at the Southbank Centre. As always, it is infused with beauty, wit, and sorrow in equal measure.

RIP to the most excellent of buns. 13.5 years of age (late 90s in bunny years), with each one filled with chaos. JP, you will be so deeply missed.

When I was a medical student I was taught about schizophrenia using the art of Bryan Charnley. Seeing Indecision in the new @bethlemmuseum.bsky.social exhibition was a delight. Art offers us so much in unpacking the human condition and this museum remains an excellent (free) space to explore!

Team, I’m home.

Anoushka Shankar at the Proms was beautiful and affecting. Would highly recommend a listen. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

CCT Forensic Psych incoming! ✔️

“Studying the history of medicine and science makes you humble as a clinician: there are gaps, biases, and mistakes in what we know.” I’m in this week’s @bmj.com speaking about MESSAGE, sex and gender inequity in research, & why science needs the humanities www.bmj.com/content/388/...

Celia Paul: Colony of Ghosts. Just gorgeous!

Me, in a professional setting, but all I have is little jokes…

“Cause some good trouble” ~ Cory Booker

People experiencing homelessness have high mortality and morbidity from preventable or treatable conditions. This article explores the health impacts of homelessness and practical considerations for clinicians providing care. Includes an infographic www.bmj.com/content/388/...

#Eastearring is back!

She died in binary. That’s dedication. RIP.

Thrilled to say that after CCT-ing in August, I will be returning south of the river to start old age training in SE London!

Went to a tea festival yesterday and it was just lovely. I bought new teaware to drink very old puerh. 🍵

I will be consuming a lethal quantity of tea. Yet surviving.

Dydd Gwyl Dewi Hapus! (This also signals the start of #Eastearring!)

Ramadan Mubarak to all my friends who observe it. Wishing you a peaceful and restorative month. 🌙 Image by shayma.myportfolio.com

Love the Lynette Yiadom-Boakye exhibition at Corvi Mora. A hidden gem!

Reading @susiedent.com’s Word Perfect entry for the day and really regretting scheduling an interview today!

I’m watching the Assembly, where people ask Michael Sheen questions. It’s just beautiful.

Christina Kimeze: Between Wood and Wheel at @southlondongallery.bsky.social is just gorgeous!

Doing all the stairs from the tube platform after fencing yesterday is wild because one leg is fine but the order is burning.

Trains being silly? Bonus Claudette Johnson for taking a different route! I love her portrait so much. Robbed of the Turner Prize IMHO. Hope this brightens your morning too…

This exhibition at the NPG is a delight every year!

Dydd Santes Dwynwen Hapus! Please enjoy my lovespoon earrings! 🤍❤️💚

Imagine a woman residing in London making a fake South Wales accent a significant part of her personality… Anyways, here’s another impression of my da:

Preparing medicines at the Islington Medical Mission Dispensary, London, 1893 (from the Edinburgh Medical Missionary Society Archive) #histmed

I genuinely think I’m a quiet person with a poker face…

Oh dang, after several days of my throat hurting I’ve actually looked with a pen torch, and that is some good going tonsillitis. Ffs.

This is a beautiful tribute.

This was great! Free and completely necessary at @wellcomecollection.bsky.social.

Using a mandoline with a migraine was not my brightest idea... Have sliced off the tip of ma textin’ thumb™️.

Blwyddyn Newydd Dda!

The real message of A Christmas Carol that it takes at least 4 ghosts to make super rich bastards change their ways.

My father bought me coffee. We are now formally estranged. Happy Christmas all.
