@JoeBangles11 You looked beautiful, Kirsty's makeup skills are top-notch. You're probably better off without those followers anyway. Gouda Bye!

Hearing your own relative tell you he doesn't believe your sexuality hurts more than I thought it would. Nice bit of first hand #biphobia on a Saturday!
Being a bi woman in a heterosexual relationship blows some people's minds 🤯🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🌈

Pinch me, the icon @drjuliashaw is tweeting about important matters in Palliative and End of Life Care. As if I could fangirl anymore!

[Dr Julia Shaw @drjuliashaw]

We don't talk about end of life decisions enough.

Thinking about death can be hard, but if you don't make the decisions while you can, someone else will do it for you.

Here's the advance decision form, also known as a living will, that I used: https://t.co/I0WFcVa9qm

@SydneyDAK I would feel safe. I have a variety of hair colours and loads of tattoos and I work in Palliative Care. Professionalism should be about how we conduct ourselves rather than by how we look or express ourselves.

@MsHafsaQureshi Happy Bi Visibility Day xx

[Lou @LouWainwright2]

@trixiemattel My pooches are called Frank and Bruce 😊

[Dr Julia Shaw @drjuliashaw]

Dear journalists,

23 Sept is 💕bi visibility day 💕

Cover it widely. Bi people are less than half as likely to be out as homosexual ppl. Are rarely part of queer communities. Are more likely to be need support.

You can help bi+ people around the world feel seen & proud ❤️

[Lou @LouWainwright2]

Death/Dying/Died aren't taboo words. They can be said with compassion and sensitivity as wonderfully put by @drkathrynmannix

[Kathryn Mannix @drkathrynmannix]

Oh @BBC -
Please use your D-words.
There is dignity in the language of death, used with compassion & kindness.
Let's give that dignity to the Queen.
Those closest to her are not resorting to euphemisms. Neither should you.
