There's always more than one side to a story.
The side you think is important probably isn't.
Everything is much more complicated than you think it is.
Trying to provide any kind of context about that gets you hated by just about everyone.
I'm going to bed.

This case may prove very important for other pwME and parents of children with ME who are battling medical ignorance of severe ME, lack of appropriate care and harm being inflicted whilst in hospital. The statements by Dr T and the Judge are excellent.

RT @MosabAbuToha: Israel has just bombed Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, killing at least four people.

Yes, the same hospital. The same Is…

I was told I would have to sign a lifelong NDA when I reported sexual assault at work in the NHS.I refused.I was told I could not speak to my MP, a counsellor or my GP about the findings of the independent investigation. @didoharding intervened when she was chair of @NHSEngland

The quality of this from Beth is just phenomenal.

Well worth a listen - it's a shot in the arm.

Beth has just shared it on her own socials - go give it a boost if you can.

If you are wondering why they are killing journalists, healthcare workers, aid workers, and UN staff, it's because they are the witnesses who will testify in court about the war crimes committed in Gaza and Lebanon.

If you are wondering why they are removing the rubble and the bodies before UN and ICC inspections, it’s because they are the evidence of war crimes committed in Gaza and Lebanon.

If you are wondering why they are calling to dismantle the International Criminal Court and sanction ICC judges, it’s because they are the judges and the court that will prosecute them for the war crimes committed in Gaza and Lebanon.

If you are wondering why they are calling to dissolve the United Nations, terminate UNIFIL's mandate, and sanction UN officials and representatives, it’s because they are the observers who documented the war crimes committed in Gaza and Lebanon.

They are killing the witnesses, the evidence, the observers, and the court, in broad daylight.

Dear journalists

Palestine isn't simply “flooding” . Israel destroyed the water pumps, stormwater basins, homes, roads and hospitals, then trapped people on a strip of beach with nowhere to go. No tents, no prosthetics, no basic protection from the cold. Children are facing hypothermia with nowhere safe to seek treatment. And somehow the world is still looking the other way. This isn't a natural disaster. It's a Zionists-made catastrophe.

Do better

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Israel must immediately open all Gaza crossings and let humanitarian aid in, starting with new tents and modular housing, clean water, nutrient-rich food, medicines. If by 9am tomorrow Israel still refuses, any principled leader would send humanitarian vessels to break the siege.

[Brian Fog @useless_priest]

This is absolute insanity.

They're planning to delete the electronic info collected on 36,000 Long COVID patients over the past years.

That means it won't be possible to use it for research, or to follow with patients later wrt health outcomes after specific treatments.

@Ed_Miliband Stop arming Israel!

[Husam Zomlot @hzomlot]

We welcome the strong words from Foreign Secretary @Ed_Miliband at the G7, recognising the intolerable reality in Gaza and declaring that the UK Government “will not stand by”.

Israel, as the occupying power, has strict legal obligations under international law, and continues to defy them with impunity. The international community, too, must uphold its own legal responsibilities.

We must refuse to normalise, enable or facilitate the siege of Gaza. The majority of Gaza’s population are living in tents and makeshift shelters. More than 70,000 tents have been flooded, buildings are collapsing, and disease, hunger and freezing temperatures are intensifying an already catastrophic humanitarian crisis.

This is the time for the UK to lead decisive political and legal action: comprehensive sanctions and full accountability, until the illegal occupation ends. 🇵🇸

A news piece about Frank & Louie from 2011: https://t.co/oJcn4AEMCh

[Lucibee 🌻 @_Lucibee]

Such a lovely story.

[No Cats No Life @NoCatsNoLife_m]

🇺🇸 In 1999, a kitten born with two faces was brought to a veterinary hospital in Massachusetts to be euthanized. But veterinary nurse Marty Stevens chose to give him a chance.

She adopted the one-day-old kitten and named him Frank and Louie.

Born with an extremely rare condition called diprosopia, he had two noses, two mouths and three eyes, although only one mouth was functional.

For his first three months, Marty fed him through a tube until he learned to eat independently.

Against extraordinary odds, Frank and Louie grew into a friendly cat who played with other cats, bonded with the family dog, enjoyed car rides and even walked on a leash.

He lived for 15 years and 87 days, becoming the Guinness World Record holder for the longest-surviving Janus cat.

Frank and Louie died in December 2014 after developing cancer.

A kitten once given almost no chance of survival spent 15 remarkable years surrounded by love.

Humanitarians are working hard to support Palestinians affected by heavy rains in #Gaza. "We have run out of time," warns Humanitarian Coordinator Dr. @RamizAlakbarov. "If supplies don't enter this week, we will miss the window of preparing for the winter." Watch.

Ah! Harriet spotted it (a few years ago!):

[Harriet Carroll: Long Covid Scientific Consultancy @angryhacademic]

It's commonly reported that humans can only live 3 days without water. But this is not true:

How long can you survive without water? Longer than 3 days!

I’m pretty sure that 2L per day is a zombie stat though.
Surely we can do better than that nowadays?

Not a huge fan of these being taken out of context. They are a sensible set of messages for a Reasonable Worst Case Scenario https://t.co/BiLL6ZQX1i

[Lucibee 🌻 @_Lucibee]

Oh, and I've just noticed that the Science article contains another zombie stat.

See if you can guess what it is...
