Just sitting here thinking… 🤔
Mom tries to feed me, but she doesn’t grind the chicken the same way dad does.
Only Hudad does it right. And then he sneaks in my medication without me noticing 🤣Silly Dad 😂

I had cataract surgery on Thursday in UHW
One eye done, one to do.

Now I'll be able to read my phone and the subtitles.

No one looking at this photo would know what so many of these women are carrying behind the scenes.

We don’t look like the stereotypical image people often have of someone living with stage 4 cancer, which that can be so misleading.

Nearly all of these women are living with stage 4 breast cancer or have had a primary breast cancer diagnosis. We are mums, daughters, sisters and friends. We campaign, we make memories and we want to keep living.

We’re in the worst club that no one ever wants to join, but through the hardest times we’ve found support, solidarity and love.

But behind these smiles are the very real fears of living with cancer and the uncertainty and of what the future holds.

And for those of us living with HER2 low metastatic breast cancer, being denied access to the life extending treatment #Enhertu makes that reality even more cruel.

Yesterday we stood together with @BreastCancerNow and @METUPUKorg to demand change from @NICEComms @DaiichiSankyoUK @ASTRAZENECAUK and @NHSEngland
We don’t want to spend our precious time campaigning for access to treatments, we want to spend it living.

Please support us by signing and sharing the petition for #EnhertuNow 💗 @andyburnham @YvetteCooperMP

Rhode Island women's basketball is saddened to learn of the passing of former player Tammy Webster. The grace and courage she showed in life is an inspiration to all who knew her.

Our thoughts are with Tammy's family at this time 💙🐏

Items that I received this weekend. There wasn’t a note at all. I know pencils were from and @Mamacoopah The clipboard holder (in box still) and the amazing prize machine are a mystery, but I believe @fiber_ninja made it happen. Thank you both so so much! ❤️

🧵 In 1942, these men didn't just enlist to fight a world war—they fought a grueling battle at home just for the right to wear the uniform. They are the Montford Point Marines.

The day Marie brought her daughter home from the hospital, she thought the hardest part would be getting some sleep. Instead, she kept watching Tank.
Tank is a Great Dane, all 140 pounds of him, and for six years he'd been the baby of the house. Her husband kept saying he'd be fine, but Marie had read all the warnings new parents read online, and she couldn't stop wondering how a dog that big would understand something so tiny.
She should've trusted him.
From the first afternoon, Tank seemed to give himself a job. Every time they laid the baby down in the nursery, he followed them in, sniffed carefully near the crib, and settled beside it like someone had put him on the night shift.
Pretty soon, Marie started finding him there at all hours. If the baby fussed at three in the morning, Tank was already standing by the crib before Marie even made it down the hall.
Her husband joked that they didn't need the baby monitor anymore. They already had a 140-pound one.
What surprised Marie most was how gentle he made himself. Tank moved through that little room like he was afraid of bumping the crib, and when the baby cried, he never got worked up. He'd rest his chin on the rail, give one slow wag, and wait for Marie like he was reporting for duty.
This morning, Marie stood in the doorway and watched him lower himself to the floor beside the crib with a long sigh. Her daughter was asleep, and the room was so quiet Marie could hear her breathing.
"You're going to look after her," she said softly. "I know you are."

Did you ever have a dog who seemed to know exactly who needed protecting?

NYC mayor Zohran Mamdani is now the biggest headache for Trump 🔥

🇺🇸 Trump: "We officially cut funds for research and health subsidies. It’s not that important."

🇺🇸 Zohran: "You think city-run grocery stores and Medicare are impossible, but you spent $500 million a day to kill people in Iran and Lebanon was necessary?" 🔥

He just blew up Trump’s talking points in 2 seconds👏
