@My_Metro announcements have been saying trains are running to timetable but no sign of the 12.32 at shiremoor? Partner is now driving me to central station but now might miss the train the metro should have got me comfortably on time for 🤦🏼‍♀️

@gonortheast is the 15.34 x73 running please? Hasn’t turned up on time at my stop and no longer showing on the app?

Only in a year where #GiselePélicot holds 50 men who raped her to account does a rapist President get named Person of the Year (for the second time). The message is clear: misogyny rewards power, while survivors like Gisele fight to ensure #ShameMustChangeSides.

14 years ago I joined a special school with the label PMLD stuck on me and was given a sensory curriculum. This week I started University at @BathSpaUni studying Creative Writing!

Disabled by @marksandspencer yet again ‼️Now I can no longer shop independently because the chiller cabinet doors pull toward you & these ridiculous racks at the base get caught on wheels & prevent you getting close enough to reach handles let alone food inside 🧵

My personal philosophy is to vote with the best interest of the most vulnerable person I know in mind. Politics will always be a part of of occupational therapy for me

[Laura Doorbar (She/her) @LD00rbar]

Really pleased to see this email from @theRCOT Whatever your political opinion, politics & policy shapes our direct practice/working environment and the lives of the people we work with. It is intrinsically linked to occupational justice. Engaging with democracy is so important!

[Laura Doorbar (She/her) @LD00rbar]

A great, bittersweet read

[Laura Doorbar (She/her) @LD00rbar]

Great to see the contribution occupational therapists can make recognised and acknowledge here. The profession has such potential to support with so many of the issues facing society today @SunderlandOT

[BBC Question Time @bbcquestiontime]

“The language that we use… even in the question ‘Do we have a sick note culture?’ It’s cruel”

Chair of the NHS Confederation Victor Adebowale says the use of “performative” language needs to stop, and the government should show more "compassion"

Over 100k Icelandic women protested today for gender equality. There are only 360k residents in Iceland. They didn’t go to work, they didn’t go to school — they protested for the same rights as men. THIS is how it’s done.

@CrossCountryUK hi, I’m entitled to delay repay for one of your services. I booked via trainline. Do I need to fill out your form or contact trainline for the compensation? Many thanks

[Chloe Timms @clotimms]

I rely on "overseas" carers to survive. To get out of bed, dress, wash, eat, drink, work. They are the most wonderful people doing a challenging job for seriously terrible money. And now, because they bravely came here alone they're denied being with their family. Utter cruelty.

New accessible crockery now available at National Trust cafés and tearooms. Well done colleagues, always improving the everyday things.
