Thank you @theRCN@RCNFoundation, I feel very surprised and privileged to have been chosen.
The work for neonatal parents and families will never stop ♥️

Today during the International Women’s Day parliamentary debate @jessphillips will read the names of women killed since IWD 2025 where the suspect is male.
We sent her the ‘final’ version of the list last night. This morning, we’ve had to add 2 women.
There is never a final list
a woman tested positive for the BRCA gene and opted to get a double mastectomy without a cancer diagnosis. Then opted for IVF and only transferred embryos that did not have the BCRA gene. Essentially stopping any of her descendants from passing the gene.
Women having choices and access to healthcare is vital.
For almost two months, I was convinced my friend group had a separate group chat without me.
Plans would get mentioned casually, “oh yeah, like we said earlier”, and I’d just stand there like 🙂 earlier where? If I walked into the room and they stopped laughing, my brain immediately titled it: Season 2: The Quiet Exile. I started analyzing delivery times, inside jokes, who viewed my stories but didn’t reply. Every late response felt intentional. Every “we forgot to tell you” felt strategic.
One night I finally joked, “So what’s the name of the secret group chat?”
They all looked confused.
Turns out there was another group chat, but it was for planning a surprise birthday thing for me. The reason they’d go quiet? They were terrible at lying. The “earlier” conversations? About work, not me. The late replies? Two of them had just started new jobs and one was going through a breakup.
Meanwhile, I had already mentally written a betrayal arc, drafted my villain origin speech, and emotionally distanced myself for protection.
The stupidest part? Nobody was excluding me.
I was just overprotecting myself from a threat that didn’t exist.
That’s when I realized, sometimes the only person putting me on the outside… is me.
"DNA is really so crazy, have y'all heard that story about the woman who had a baby with her husband and when he got a DNA test done he wasn't the father the mother insisted he was the dad so much so that they repeated the test numerous times the couple got divorced and the man refused to be in the child's life it later came out based off the DNA results that he wasn't the father but the uncle of the child which was impossible because he was an only child after a more extensive DNA test they found out the husband was actually a chimera which essentially means he had a twin brother that he ate in utero essentially absorbing his DNA. So basically the unborn, twin brother was the father even though the husband bore the child."
“Stress Relief” from The Office isn’t just the best episode. It’s the Super Bowl of sitcom cold opens. Stanley’s heart attack, Michael’s chaos, the CPR scene turning into a club remix. Television hitting a perfect, unhinged note.
Being a reader is hard… I wanna reread my favorites, I wanna read the new releases, I wanna get through all the classics… honestly, I just wanna read every book ever written.
The absolute chaos of a theater full of people who knew the books by heart screaming "THAT WASN'T IN THE BOOK"... I'd give anything to experience that collective terror for the first time again.
My toxic trait is telling people I'm down for anything when in reality I mean not after 8 pm, food should be involved, and it also depends on the weather, the parking situation, and how tired I am
Remember Me (2010) has one of the wildest endings of its era. The final reveal is so sudden and extreme that it completely overtook the movie itself. Most people remember the film only because of how it ends.
My wife, who wouldn't let anyone touch the food in the cupboards because 'they're for Christmas' to now literally forcefeeding it down everyone's throat because 'it's going out of date and we can't waste it'!
'Quality Street sandwich?
Ferrero Rocher on toast?
Lindt pate?

no i love getting a link to instagram that opens in safari, then asks me to open the app, which takes me to the app store, and asks me to open the app, and then the app shows me a reel that is not the post from the link
You’ve heard of writer’s block? Now meet the reader’s block. You want to read. You have time. You know what to read. You have a pile of books ready to read. But you can't sit still enough to read...
