This is blatantly obvious. I’m glad @DrLadeSmith has stated this publicly. Time for @rcpsych to do more to highlight this.

[Wendy Burn CBE @wendyburn]

We hear from @DrLadeSmith at #RCPsychIC that we don’t have enough psychiatric beds for people who need them in the places where they live. We have known this for years, time to sort it: https://t.co/hTrJ9nGc5f

@umisef @fesshole Yes. Also are valves doors? Your heart has 4 chambers and valves to get in/out/between. If yes I’m definitely picking doors!

@DanielGalef @celinedionysus_ My kid once complained I didn’t call him Melchizedek. Am I more work than my child?

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

Everyone who works in healthcare needs to read this mum's live account of the ongoing plight of her young son's emergency NHS care - but most of all, @wesstreeting, you need to read it.

This is the reality of NHS 'improvement' on your watch, and it is soul-destroying.

I am so very sorry you and your son are enduring this, Victoria, & that all the staff around you are enduring the same.

@LucaAnaise @icod Haha! Probably a wise insight. I still get a frisson of joy from climbing the stairs to the top deck, I’m in my 40s, no one has stopped me going upstairs for almost 30y!

[Catherine Crowe 💗💜💙 @cagbrad83]

@LucaAnaise @icod I mean the same person who thinks earrings are a common frivolity and drinking water from a bottle marks you out as a social inferior. This is not about mere pleasure, it is doing the ‘right’ thing 😂

@RiverSea18 @MichaelRosenYes @CombeStNicksSch @Jennife10651535 @sallyhhk @SusanBrad1ey @ThinkReadHQ Personally I dislike accelerated reader, as you say it makes reading a chore. Although my eldest loved it and read every book the school owned during covid. She sits her GCSEs this year but her most valued accolade is the accelerated reader record in her primary school! 🥰

@pogson_stephen @mumwhocares @MichaelRosenYes @CombeStNicksSch @Jennife10651535 @sallyhhk @SusanBrad1ey @ThinkReadHQ One of my kids memorably spelled it Fonix in a test…

[Catherine Crowe 💗💜💙 @cagbrad83]

@ramage_olivia @_i_sahar @BjorkBrodern Yes! We lived in Scotland when my son was a baby and they did that at his nursery too - he slept 3 hours every afternoon. He’s 14 now and has had antibiotics once (about 2 weeks after we moved to England when he was 5). I’m sure he had fewer colds/conjunctivitis as a baby too!

@LauraPAuthor I’m reckoning on Candlemas (2nd Feb). My lunch was Christmas cake, Stilton, apple and walnuts *chef’s kiss*

@britgardhistory Thank you 🤩

Exciting news! Ainsleigh is my husband’s godfather and I had the pleasure to talk to him about apple genetics earlier this year. He’s an incredible scientist and gardener and is curious about just about everything. Also an incredibly patient and kind man 🍏 🧬 ❤️

LOST APPLE 'RYMER' REDISCOVERED! Thanks to amazing sleuthing by Stephen Ainsleigh Rice in England and Gary Sully in Australia, this wonderful cooking apple has been confirmed rediscovered. Believed lost for nearly 100 years, DNA testing shows it was a grandparent of Bramley. 1/3

@Autistic_Lauren I think I would call this prosody - there are subtle differences in rate, rhythm, volume and tone compared with speech in NTs. So eg when speaking about a topic of interest the acceleration, emphasis and slight changes in pitch different from what the neurotypical ear expects

@historicalfits Lasinoh nipple cream leftover from breastfeeding was the best for me. Also great for cracked/dry winter hands 🙌

@HumanUpgrade_ This guy has a liver in his chest and stomach where his heart should be… I feel like drinking soda is not his biggest issue.

@TrishGlenn Beautiful 😊

[Catherine Crowe 💗💜💙 @cagbrad83]

@stayingcovert Hey, I think about you often. Thank you for saying hi, it was good to hear from you even if times are tough x

[Catherine Crowe 💗💜💙 @cagbrad83]

@Mayfieldbirder Lovely! One of my kids refers to them as ‘the brioche ones’ she knows they aren’t for eating!

[Catherine Crowe 💗💜💙 @cagbrad83]

@silverpebble Good to know! Our cats are not very smart… 🤦‍♀️ but both 11 so must have some survival instinct!
