Glad to find @keithdunn.bsky.social right here, the other place was making me mad again. BM100 on BS for the win.

Today im grateful for, discount flowers 💐 and donuts, steam clean house.

There are now just 5 spaces left on this workshop👇. It's open to anyone, anywhere & a full recording's available indefinitely afterwards. You'll learn the neuroscience of how profoundly creative activity shifts our brain biochemistry in the same way as mental health medications:

Silly drawing of two dinos in love for this Valentine's Day. Don't forget to love yourself today! 💟

What sort of hell am I being marketed.... but also, anyone know Lis truss address 🤔

Today I'm grateful for not having to talk to anyone tomorrow. I am not designed for customer service. Past me making amazing cabbage so no effort needed for tonight's tea. Dumplings on the stove too. Goodnight y'all.

I am reminded every winter that it costs more to provide healthcare for winter related health complications of homelessness ( frost bite, complex amputations, infectious complications) than to provide warm safe shelter for the homeless. Becoming homeless could happen to almost anyone.

Today im grateful for fires on, dinners in, shoes off, jammies warming up, snows out. 777. Alls well

Given warnings about Trichophyton are emerging (www.cidrap.umn.edu/sexually-tra...), this recent paper in The Lancet Microbe might be of interest.

Losing the chance to see what herpes vaccines can do to prevent dementia on a population level is truly heart-breaking!

Denialism is the new norm Climate change denial Vaccine denial Science denial Public health denial Human rights denial Multilateralism denial Equity denial Racism denial Denialism will not make reality go away

Today im grateful for the sun reappearing. It's either been too low, or just bloody grey, haven't had actual sunlight coming in windows for what feels like an eternity.

New paper from my lab! First (as far as we know) comprehensive review of the Shigella outbreak data collected by CDC between 2009 and 2022. This is going to become my favorite class example of the struggle of dealing with state-reported data at a national level

Whoops… been nice knowing you! www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Today I'm grateful for handed a £20 note for my work which is bringing auntie at Christmas vibes. I'm not helping out for the money, I get books as well, its just for the vibes of doing a decent turn.

Today I'm grateful for bringing the kindness I want to see in the world. For word alternatives. Potatoes.

European Parliament Tries to Bury the Right to Seek Asylum #Refugees

Giant swearies today. The frustration level is 99%.

14. Not only did they kill USAID (new study estimates 9.4M deaths by 2030, numbers comparable to the Holocaust), but they are running what I would call an anti-USAID, supporting MAGA-aligned think tanks and charities www.ft.com/content/f869... www.cnn.com/2026/02/04/w...

In an alarming development, it appears the UK Government covered up a massive spike in trans youth suicides after restrictions. Then covered it up again when caught. Now, after fighting for years, the data is public: trans suicide increased 5x in the country. Subscribe to support our journalism.

US funding cuts set to cause 23 million excess deaths in the poorest countries by 2030: i-base.info/htb/53179 New @lancetgh.bsky.social paper predicts that 5.4 million of these will be children under 5. #HIVsky #IDsky #GlobalHealth #GlobalAid #HIV #InfantMortality #malaria #LMICs #USAID #PEPFAR

Not bloody likely. Trump never paid his bills

#BREAKING 🚨 Aftab Malik, Australia's Special Envoy to Combat Islamophobia, has released a statement condemning "unprovoked violence and aggression" from NSW Police against Muslims praying in Sydney's Town Hall Square "There cannot be any justification for this behaviour"

*another country.

Javier Abreu-Vasquez had a kidney transplant in 2023. He was grabbed by ICE while delivering groceries to help his neighbours. They’re refusing to give him his anti rejection meds. Without them, he will lose the organ. This is how people die.

Today I'm grateful for multiple options.

The Heritage Foundation has released a 250-year roadmap to “save America.” The document is a how-to guide for subjugating girls & young women: a detailed plan to push them out of college, funnel them into early marriage and motherhood, and then trap them there. jessica.substack.com/p/theyre-com...

As families in Gaza prepare to mark another Ramadan amid ongoing crisis, WCK is supporting them by delivering 100,000 Ramadan food kits—the equivalent of nearly 7 million meals—designed to sustain families from suhoor to iftar. #ChefsForGaza (1/2)

Today I'm grateful for payment in books. Keeping brain busy.

Interesting accident. Eish. Dumb and painful. Lordy, I do not know how i survive in the wild

Today I'm grateful for faking it till people think you don't want them to die on the spot. Proof reading the previous sentence before posting.

Heard at least 15 variations of "oh are you open" today as customer comes into unlocked, well lit shop. My only response is "yes?" And this is why I can't customer service. The repetitive dummery.

“…23% of the zoliflodacin microbiological failures and the single ceftriaxone and azithromycin microbiological failure had different gonococcal strains at TOC versus baseline, which suggests reinfections and not treatment failures.”

They sold out our NHS data to the same fascists who make biometric murder drone software. Maybe that’s why my ‘emergency’ MRI for a lumbar issue (3 weeks back) was down graded by my neurologist from the fancy 3T to a 1.5T lower resolution machine? I’m clearly a lost cause / cost too much already?

Concentration camps are the defining issue in public health right now. Measles and TB outbreaks, healthcare being withheld as punishment for your race. It is not enough simply to turn the grants tap back on. To do so would make us the same as the Nazi scientists who discovered smoking causes cancer

Does anyone here manage to do all the things and sit down. vs do all the things sit down, remember 1 more things, sit down, remember 3 more things sit down....

Authoritarianism 101: the sloppiness is a feature, not a bug. It directs money to regime cronies (Palantir), discretion to paramilitaries, and fear to citizens. A system designed for legitimate law enforcement or border control would not fulfill these goals as well.

Tuberculosis, measles, and who knows what else... One can only imagine the conditions at these crowded detention centers
