I have spent all of today in the hospital with my wife, Morgan.
Today she had surgery that confirmed and removed severe endometriosis, a condition where uterus tissue grows outside the uterus, causing severe pelvic pain and infertility.
Despite suspecting she has had this condition for almost as long as I’ve known her, and after years of medical gaslighting, she finally found a doctor who would book her in for laparoscopic surgery needed at the end of last year, and completed today. It turns out this is one of the most misdiagnosed conditions women can have (despite it being fairly common) and unless you fight for that surgery, you will likely never be taken seriously.
If you or anyone you know feels they relate to endometriosis symptoms, I really encourage you to push for an official diagnosis - particularly as this condition can worsen over time. Morgan spent years in pain, and we lost £10,000’s in IVF costs for “unexplained infertility” when the answer was explainable all along.
But mostly I just wanted to post this because I’m so bloody proud of her fight, and being so brave spending the entire afternoon in the operating theatre today. Well done Morgan, maximum bonus points for you! 👏🏼
Daddy, good evening, sir.
I’m very sorry for disturbing you at this hour, sir. I know you are probably resting and watching the news, but I felt it was important to bring this matter to your attention before it gets out of hand.
Sir, you remember your daughter that you handed over to me in holy matrimony…..yes sir, the same one we prayed over in church. Sir, there has been a development.
Earlier this evening, sir, she fried plantain. Not small plantain o, sir. Golden brown, well-sliced, as a responsible husband and law-abiding citizen of the household, I positioned myself patiently, believing that in the spirit of marriage, partnership, and the vows we all witnessed that day, a portion would naturally find its way to me. But sir, nothing came.
Sir, I’m not calling to fight. I just felt it was important that you, as her father, are aware of the operational pattern we are witnessing here. Maybe there was an instruction manual that did not get to me during the handover ceremony.
All I’m asking for, sir, is guidance. Because if plantain can elude me today, tomorrow it might be fried yam, next tomorrow maybe asaro, and before you know it sir, we are dealing with a full-blown food distribution crisis in the marriage.
Thank you for your time, sir. Please greet Mummy for me.

China knows exactly what this does. Their domestic version of TikTok caps kids under 14 at 40 minutes a day, locks access between 6am and 10pm, and swaps the entire feed to educational content. Science, history, museums.
The version they export to everyone else? Unlimited, unrestricted, pure dopamine on demand.
When kids in the US and China were asked what they wanted to be when they grew up, the number one answer in America was influencer. In China it was astronaut.
Macron calls this a cognitive war. Export what dulls young minds and keep what makes them intelligent for your own population.
This is the most effective weapon ever deployed against a generation’s ability to think.
The fact that in one lifetime I’ve recorded music into a cassette tape from a radio, burned music onto a CD, clicked and dragged it onto an MP3 player, and streamed it from a smart phone is crazy.
Yeah, I’m that old.
