At 3yrs old, I fell in love with Darth Vader (so wonderfully in awe of him). But I also loved Leia, my first female hero. Nothing's changed.

Pioneering Australian doctor Richard Scolyer dies after brain cancer battle https://t.co/z83pX4S5VQ

[Aswin John Solomon MD @DrAswinSolomon]

As an oncologist, I believe Richard Scolyer’s greatest contribution was not a single paper, a single trial, or a single discovery.

It was courage in service of science.

For decades, he helped transform melanoma from one of oncology’s most feared diseases into one of its greatest success stories.

His work in pathology, immunotherapy, and translational research helped shape treatments that have saved countless lives around the world.

Then fate handed him one of medicine’s cruelest diagnoses:

Glioblastoma.

Most people would have focused solely on survival.

Richard Scolyer chose something extraordinary.

He turned his own disease into a scientific experiment, not out of desperation, but out of hope that what was learned might help future patients.

That is a rare form of bravery.

Scientists advance knowledge.

Physicians care for patients.

Richard Scolyer did both, even while facing one of the deadliest cancers known to medicine.

His story reminds us that progress in oncology is written by people willing to ask difficult questions, challenge assumptions, and push forward despite uncertainty.

The measure of a physician is not whether they defeat every disease.

None of us can.

The measure is whether the lives of patients are better because they were here.

By that standard, Richard Scolyer’s impact will endure for generations.

Cancer may have taken his life.

But it did not defeat his legacy.

And that legacy lives on in every melanoma patient living longer today because of the science he helped build.

Imagine being jealous of disabled people. Really sit with that for a second.

Jealous of people who wake up in pain, go to bed in pain, and do everything between in pain.

Jealous of people who have to plan every outing like a military operation because one wrong step can wipe them out for days.

Jealous of people whose “days off” are actually hospital appointments, tests, meds, paperwork.

Jealous of people who get stared at, disbelieved, talked over, or treated like a burden just for existing.

Jealous of people who fight their own bodies 24/7 while the world argues about whether they “deserve” access, support, or dignity.

List Of Things To NOT
Say To A Cancer Patient

So you have the good type of cancer?

"You should try..." (this diet, that diet, essential oils, etc.)

You are so lucky you don't need to go through chemo or radiation.

At least you're getting skinny.

You have to think positive.

You don't look sick.

But you still have all your hair.

You're lucky that you don't have to work.

I know what you're going through.

You got cancer because you didn't pray to God.

You're so lucky you have *insert type of cancer"

Stop eating sugar. It's feeding your cancer.

Everything happens for a reason.

Stop being so lazy.

My (person) died from cancer, and it was awful, I don't think I could go through it again.

There's someone out there struggling more than you.

It's not all about you.

Are you going to die?

[Melanoma Institute Australia @MelanomaAus]

Today is World Cancer Research Day. When patients, researchers, clinicians and healthcare communities come together, progress in cancer research moves faster. Together, we advance research that is meaningful, inclusive, and benefits all. Cancer is a shared, global challenge – one that demands collaboration to spark the innovations that save lives.

This is a headline from the UK, not the US

The assault on reproductive rights is happening across the globe.

Stop using period tracker apps. Consider a permanent form of birth control if you’re sure you don’t want kids.

Be discrete with your reproductive health.

[The Secret DJ. @SecretDJBook]

In my first two books I made a series of critiques and predictions that have come to pass entirely. I have a 100% success rate.

That is what a DJ does. All my life I have dug and then shown my findings. I just turned the same skill over to current affairs. It’s nothing supernatural, it’s all I do. I don’t have a job, I don’t have much of a social life. I just watch, listen, seek and catalogue. I don’t do anything else.

I got so good at seeing through things I’m being sued by Danny Rampling. Ostensibly for pointing out the rather sinister connection he has to the Far Right and particularly to Reform. Indeed the lawyer acting for him is himself signed up to Reform. Reform have come for me personally.

My socials have been almost silenced already by far, far more powerful figures. I’m not special, most have. Musk has killed Twitter and Zuckerberg’s outlets are similarly compromised.

Please listen to me. I’ve been 100% correct so far. A form of modern Nazism is here. It’s organised and it is funded by vast wealth from hostile overseas players. You know it is. You just don’t want to admit it. After all, who would?

We do forgetting very well. For example -it's as if COVID never happened. And the reason this evil flourished in the 1930s was due to most folks being unaffected until it was too late. They got to live their lives and everything was happening to someone else - until it wasn't.

Support those of us trying to do something. Our voices are inconvenient, maybe even boring. But at the moment it is all there is. When journalism is gone there is nothing at all between you and the worst people ever to draw breath.

Please.

Educate yourselves.

Look.

Listen.

Read.

Your regular reminder that PIP is not an out-of-work benefit and that PIP is meant to pay for the extra costs that disability incurs.

The government is trying to conflate it with out-of-work benefits deliberately.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

I asked Liz Kendall if she could say that no disabled person would be left worse off after these cuts.

She could not.

Shouldn't that be enough to realise this is the wrong thing to do?

On #InternationalWomensDay I want to honour all the women who are living with the fallout of a cancer diagnosis and yet find the energy to call for greater awareness of early symptoms and also the impact of cancer on our lives. #fuckcancer
