Donald Trump has not assembled a “Board of Peace” for Gaza.

He has assembled a Board of Occupation.

The future of Gaza is not up to Trump, Blair or Netanyahu.

That is up to the Palestinian people.

I realise I'm just a freak, but living in a multicultural city is the best thing of all time, it's just the best possible human experience and i can not understand why anyone on earth would be like "weve got to destroy this"

The death of a legal observer in Minnesota by ICE is a warning to the UK in so many ways. We’re tying ourselves to a violent, corrupt, racist nation which does not care about its citizens. Reform believes in its model, Labour is appeasing it. It is the public who will suffer.

Merry Christmas to everyone working in the NHS, the social care sector, and other essential services who are spending Christmas Day away from their partners and families to care for others. You are all superstars 🤩

this stupid menu does absolutely fuck all. useless.

Merry Christmas, everyone. I hope it’s a peaceful one and that you get a chance to relax ❤️🕊️

Middle age has come at me fast it seems 🫠

The font on my laptop screen suddenly went tiny & I had no idea how I’d done it or how to fix it. The way I felt when asking my 21 yo nephew for help, judging by his tone & facial expression, must be exactly how my 75 year old mum feels when she asks me how to send an email 😭

Get your flu jab, everyone. If you’re eligible, you can get it on the NHS, and if not, you can pay privately at most pharmacies if you can afford it. It’s grim out there, guys.

Big respect to all the executives who are functioning very hard right now. I see you.

Me on a candlelit vigil for AIDS in 1987.

Me last week. Looking pretty healthy for 58 (28 years living with HIV).

I was diagnosed with #HIV in 1998, when I was 30.
Many of my friends had died of AIDS. I did not expect to live to 50.
I’m 58 now.
HIV treatment works.
Treatment also makes it impossible for me to pass HIV on during sex.
Ensure HIV treatment for all.
End HIV stigma.

It’s that time of year again when I quietly resent my parents for having three December babies (myself included). And a side-eye to my sister and brother-in-law for adding my niece to the chaos too.

Happy Thanksgiving to you both!

Was lovely meeting representatives from both @ntmnetworkuk.bsky.social and @sarcoidosisuk.bsky.social and hearing more about the fantastic work they do to raise awareness of rare diseases and improve standards of care.

We won't rest until there is accountability for the more than 1,686 healthcare workers killed in Israel's genocide.

The UK Govt must take every legal, economic, & diplomatic measure to hold those responsible for illegal attacks on Palestinian healthcare to account.

Be Patient: Life, loss and laughter from behind the hospital curtain Tilly's poignant memoir offers raw, compassionate insights into Britain's healthcare, blending dark humor with profound lessons on perseverance and human connection.

We are so proud of @thattillyrose.bsky.social (who came to us for support during her TB journey) on the continued success of her book 'Be Patient'! We are grateful that her unhappy experience is now driving awareness of TB. An Amazon choice, it is now 99p on Kindle for November: shorturl.at/s7QLI

I don’t think Danny Kruger is being taken seriously enough - this is far more extreme than anything the Conservatives were allowed to get away with. He is effectively saying that being anti-racist and being trans are contrary to British national identity and his party is leading the polls.

So grateful to know so many doctors, nurses, researchers, scientists & other healthcare professionals in the TB field who care for patients, carry out world-class research that leads to new innovations & better services, & advocate for patients & their local communities. They really are the best ❤️

Close your eyes, imagine being paralyzed… unable to breathe

Imagine being stuck in a claustrophobic iron lung, to breathe

Maybe we all need to time travel, to appreciate how science & public health save us, every single day?
