Still recruiting participants for my PhD study, now with added website https://t.co/XZYOePhCJr Interested in the stories and experiences of those who enjoy chemsex on the UK. Discreet and non-judgemental. Interviews online or in person.

@LAReviewofBooks reviews @NagingtonUoM work on #chemsex I remember helping him with the funding application that lead to initial research behind it. Seems an awful long time ago. Bravo xxx #readmybook

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

@NagingtonUoM The truly wealthy avoid inheritance tax via trusts.

I was assaulted and the culprits got away with it because of section 28, I still have therapy at 47 because of section 28. I’m lucky others died because of section 28.

A deeply nasty piece of work

We're disappointed NICE have published draft guidance to not recommend Cabotegravir (CAB-LA), a form of long-acting PrEP.

Long-acting PrEP could be a much-needed alternative for those who struggle to access or adhere to daily oral PrEP.

@herreraimages Interesting considering just how eye watering the cost of a pint in the village is. I wonder how a subscription compares to a year of irl socialising costs.

Why is Grindr so fucking expensive? And when did cruising become a paid utility?

@CityFibre We’ve played this game. You just say I have to speak to the internet company because I’m not your direct customer and then we go round in circles. No thanks.

[Marcus Griffin @MarcusUoN]

@CityFibre are absolutely disgusting after a month of lies and excuses we are finally giving up and going back to virgin. @ZenInternetHelp have gone above and beyond but are helpless in the face of @CityFibre incompetence

[Marcus Griffin @MarcusUoN]

@ZenInternetHelp It’s actually been just over five weeks since the initial order. You have been exceptional I feel sorry that you have to deal with a supplier like @CityFibre

[Marcus Griffin @MarcusUoN]

Finally THT puts its head over the parapets. At the risk of repeating myself UK sexual health is now treatment service NOT a prevention service. A betrayal of generations of young people, zero chance of zero by 2030

[Terrence Higgins Trust @THTorguk]

Lord Darzi's review on the NHS shows brutal cuts to sexual health services at a time when STIs are at records highs.

Ultimately, you get what you pay for. We need to see urgent investment and long over-due change – that incudes a national sexual health strategy. #SHW24

[Marcus Griffin @MarcusUoN]

@CityFibre And delay. Then use the protocols around complaints to do the same thing. They have no intention of doing installations where there is any extra cost involved. They are charlatans and fraudsters

[Marcus Griffin @MarcusUoN]

Don’t go for full fibre if you have an old house or you think your connection will not be straightforward @CityFibre will make excuses, lie about what their engineers said and blame you for their failures. They will use the fact that you are not their direct customer to stall

🚨New paper🚨
Centering authors' responsibility to engage w/ people who use drugs & respect their preferences, we argue using people-first strengths-based & inclusive language with care breaks down #DrugStigma & builds equitable values policies & practices

Possibly a good time to re-read this.

[Marcus Griffin @MarcusUoN]

I really get the impression mainstream Manchester pride sucked as opposed to the queer alt stuff.

[Marcus Griffin @MarcusUoN]

@CityFibre @ZenInternetHelp Your chat bot is absolutely useless. Just directs back to @ZenInternetHelp who already have escalated. Your engineers change their story about the problem each time they show up or are chased up it’s pathetic.

[Marcus Griffin @MarcusUoN]

@CityFibre Hi how do I raise a complaint directly with you regarding installation? @ZenInternetHelp are already raising a complaint on my behalf. Your engineers have attended twice now. I have no phone line and soon no internet as we have told our current provider we’re moving
