what doesn't kill you turns into the memory loss, hand tremors, panic attacks and gut issues.

the problem with close minded people is that their mouth is always open.

Introverts don’t wake up. We defrost. Give us an hour, some coffee, and complete silence. Then maybe we’ll consider being human

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Bonnie Tyler.

A proud Welsh icon, her extraordinary voice and unforgettable music touched millions around the world and will continue to inspire generations to come.

Our thoughts are with her husband, family, friends and all who loved her. Diolch am y gerddoriaeth.

[The Prince and Princess of Wales @KensingtonRoyal]

Every year, hundreds of thousands of people in this country hear the words no one wants to hear. What follows is a path that tests every part of who we are: physically, emotionally, psychologically and spiritually. The challenges ripple outwards, touching families, friendships, work and the quiet moments we spend alone with our thoughts.

Cancer doesn’t just affect the body. It changes how you think and feel and profoundly affects every aspect of life. I know this personally, and that the journey through and beyond treatment requires more than medicine alone.

I have taken on the National Three Peaks Challenge, not simply as a physical endeavour but as a chance to explore life beyond diagnosis and to give something back. The Royal Marsden is a place that holds great meaning for me and whose care and expertise are life changing for so many people.

Through this challenge, I want to raise awareness for the deeper impact of serious illness and the importance of holistic healthcare. Every individual is different, and ensuring there is a whole person approach to care enables those living through cancer to manage the deeply personal challenge of diagnosis. Holistic therapies complement clinical pathways and support patients’ ability to maintain their wellbeing, resilience and quality of life during an exceptionally difficult time.  

We have an opportunity to reshape what the future of holistic cancer care looks like, enabling more people, nationwide, to access the kind of personalised support that can help make a meaningful difference during and after medical treatment.

This challenge will support the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity, helping to transform access to, and understanding of, holistic care that will enhance recovery and healing for patients across the UK.

Healing, whether personal or collective, is not just about fixing what is wrong. It is about finding balance in how we live. Between effort and acceptance, between control and trust, between thinking and simply being. Because in the end, bravery isn’t just about pushing forward. It is about knowing how to stay grounded, connected and present, no matter the terrain, or landscape you are walking through.

Together, we can stand alongside everyone navigating life with cancer, ensuring no one faces this disease feeling unseen or unsupported.

Please know you are not alone.

@according2_taz All the ladies looked fabulous, but William was just... The hat, the best, the umbrella. The gentleman personified

The reason millennials are so nostalgic is that they got a brief taste of a world that wasn’t entirely controlled by the stupidest people who’ve ever lived.

[Wes @gardenofgag]

something about meryl streep peaking as a box office megastar at the age of 76 in this ageist, misogynistic world fills me with such a hope for a good future

[ovary ✨ @ovaryactorr]

and for the lady, perhaps a deep cleaned house, cancelled plans, a new series to watch, and zero human interaction?

@fesshole That’s not a coincidence... it’s a lesson most managers miss.
The same things that help an autistic child thrive - clarity, predictability, patience, and genuine encouragement are exactly what most adults quietly need at work too.

[Ogechi🌹 @OgeDichiVic]

@fesshole Turns out “clear instructions, patience, and no assumptions” works on everyone 😭 who would’ve thought communication skills are universal

[Ivka Koleva 💛 @IvkaKoleva]

@TallbarFIN Because they can remember only the "good" - everyone had a job, could go on holiday twice a year, had a home, there was no crime, etc. That most of it was fiction is somehow forgotten. It is, simply, nostalgia for something that never was.

Autism: I hate change.
ADHD: I crave change.
AuDHD: I want things to change, just not suddenly, loudly, or without warning.
