I registered to this after 30, previously I was with @AnthonyNolan both need as many as possible to register to give the very best chance to someone. It's especially important for POC to register as the match percentages are even harder. Easy reg for both. Don't wait.
Recently, out of the blue I got a call from @DKMS_uk - the charity that helps people with blood cancer. I'd forgotten that 5yrs ago I did a cheek swab... but the call was to say I was a possible match for someone in urgent need of stem cell or bone marrow transplant.
It's a chance to help someone survive who wouldn't otherwise. Unfortunately, having just been through the next stage, I've been ruled out of donating.
So to turn that into a positive, I wanted to suggest if you fancy registering to be a donor, if age 18 - 55 you can do it here... https://t.co/WOEAyPoQqu - and hopefully one of you may be the match that actually saves a life.

Agree with the thread but this is the most important part. Doesn't matter if you didn't know or bother to know enough about KF. We came VERY close to a FM who would have voted against equal marriage. Every one of those voters can get their ignorance away from my body and choices.
Of course, when it turns out badly, that many people didn't necessarily *mean* that isn't particularly helpful, but in this case I think it's useful to keep in mind because I think the idea that half the party doesn't care about LGBTQ+ people isn't true.

Today's FRIDAY Twitter Poll: When you it a piece of chocolate from a chocolate bar, do you usually..
- Crunch it and swallow it down pretty quickly or
- Suck it so it melts in your mouth and lasts longer?
Permit me an observation on the controversy surrounding @GaryLineker's view on immigration and asylum as expressed in his now notorious tweet. I worked in the BBC's Editorial Complaints Unit for around a decade, adjudicating on complaints that there had been breaches
I've literally seen Grace every @glastonbury since 2016 and I'm completely dumbfounded as to how she isn't frankly literally on the Pyramid by now. My mum camps there as she doesn't walk far so only sees those acts, LET MY MUM SEE GRACE PLEASE NOW. AHHHHHHHH!!!!!
Ah fuck it, THREAD, I guess. I’ve tried to hold my tongue re: the lack of female guitar acts/female headliners/the “pipeline problem” at Glastonbury. But perhaps my experience is relevant. I am a female guitar act. I write big, singalong chorus songs that go great at festivals.1/
@JessAlice1992 I paid for an app that automatically booked me into a test centre/s I had selected when someone cancelled. It was worth it for me to get it done quicker and rebook after failing.
