I found this magical: how someone intensely talented describes the creative experience. #BillieEilish www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bkj...

We need to talk about "post-human" dementia care? open.substack.com/pub/shibley/...

It's a thought - have a lovely rest of weekend x

At the Tesla dealership in Tottenham Even his fellow 11 and 12-digits-of-wealth peers donate much more to health and social causes than he does...

An interesting report on the various mishaps occurring in the MRCP(UK) examination in diets past. www.thefederation.uk/sites/defaul...

Do something like Chris Packham. Call it The Really wildly socialist show. @matthew-wright.bsky.social Great show as ever. X

Love Sam. We're some amazing talent in the UK.

This is beautifully written and thought provoking. I often wish I had stuffed animals for my patients to hold in the ICU.

The perfect #CelebrityTraitors final. All the pieces fell into place.

OMG - the #CelebrityTraitors final is AMAZING so far.

An interesting statement by the Chancellor. It seems to me that she has laid the groundwork to mitigate against fast increasing debt by ballooning government borrowing, not cutting spending drastically, and increasing taxes.

Quite irritated about the number of Hallowe’en songs which have popped up in this week’s single chart due to the artefact of streaming: for example Michael Jackson’s Thriller is currently number 2, ahead of Taylor Swift’s Fate of Ophelia. Hopefully this will correct itself.

"NHS trusts with their own products have consistently pushed back on adopting the FDP and despite 150 trusts having onboarded, only 77 were live and actively reporting benefits in September 2025, according to NHSE figures" #NHS #HealthIT www.digitalhealth.net/2025/10/nhse...

I get why you've sent this BTW. My brain is still processing the links with your mother. I love thinking about these over time and letting it all come together. My brain is a very busy place with lots of things processing simultaneously!

My daughter is currently teaching herself to play this on the piano 😁

On @lbc.co.uk from 7: reaction to last night’s mass train stabbing in Cambridgeshire that’s left 9 people fighting for life. Plus is progressive left on the rise not just here but across Europe? And should UK follow USA and hit super rich with an exit tax when they flee this country? 0345 6060973

Thanks Doc xx

A personal reflection on my mum's dementia: forgive me. shibley.substack.com/p/the-fate-o...

@matthew-wright.bsky.social good luck to you and Elliot for your show this morning in less than two hours' time. will be listening as usual. hope it goes well.

Billie Eilish's comment about greed is spot on. We should not forget this when considering the wider political economy of dementia care, including unpaid labour mostly done by women in the private sphere.

On chilly mornings, we are a purrito.

Not feeling a 100% so not hanging about here long but I promised to show you Elliot as Ozzy at a Halloween do last night - here he is!

The allegory of Plato's cave (scholar.harvard.edu/files/seyer/...) is a powerful prism reminding us that our political interpretations of the world, emphasising materiality and a need for oppression, are often misleading and inaccurate.

I loved spending time with @mikaelaloach.bsky.social We talked COP, Rosebank and the need for community organising at the grassroots - along with political education. Catch up 👇🏼 youtu.be/NMf3gbm7QPY?...

BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!! @matthew-wright.bsky.social - "you're a migrant; do you commit crimes?" in other news, good to hear again from Nick in Vancouver look forward to Eliot's video

👇

OK, regardless of source, credit where due: That's a great headline.

This a million times.

Happy Halloween. Trickle-down economics is nothing more than a cruel hoax designed to enrich corporations and the super-rich. For working people, it's been 40 years of all trick and no treat. Enough.

Tomorrow!! 😍

Faiza Shaheen is just incredible. Command of evidence-based arguments, highly intelligent, clearly communicated, not an outright sociopath like other political protagonists, full of empathy and compassion. #bbcqt

#bbcqt Why can’t we have a grown up debate about #Immigration? It’s a complex & nuanced issue that deserves an adult discussion, rather than this ‘black & white’ performance by somewhat stroppy panellists on this programme.

It's not December yet. www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8gm...

I'm concerned about the misogyny/sexism which may have crept into the abbreviation of Faiza Shaheen's description for #bbcqt. She is also, compared to Matthew Godwin for example, an accomplished author and academic, e.g. www.lse.ac.uk/people/faiza.... Maybe it's all "politics innit"?

“In our pursuit of anthropocentrism, we sometimes forget that David Attenborough is also a primate.” Timothy Morton

My sentiments exactly.

Nigel Farage is unveiling legislation to leave the ECHR. His arguments are wrong – and that move would be a disaster. @goodlawproject.bsky.social have the facts: goodlaw.social/ngjm

Almost 9 years ago. Sometimes Facebook memories can be hard but then it can also be good to remember how we felt and made sense of things unfolded.

Just disgusting from 3p Lee - who wants to stigmatise, shame and risk the lives of people with disabilities. Truly gutter politics.

How it all started. I’m not the only one to have gone through the carer’s experience of course. A Facebook memory. #dementia #carers

An article titled "Agatha Christie’s mid-century ‘manosphere’ reveals a different kind of dysfunctional male", written by our own Professor Gill Plain was recently published by @uk.theconversation.com theconversation.com/agatha-chris...

I found this brief account fascinating - reminding me that caring for someone you love with dementia is such a rollercoaster of emotions, where you come to expect the unexpected. www.dementiauk.org/information-...
