The FIA has sacked its head of sustainability, diversity and inclusion, Sara Mariani, in a restructure. This is what she had to say on her departure 🗣️

It was a leg-out-of-the-duvet night last night. But no matter how warm it gets this summer, I *will* still be using a duvet. Even if I have to stick all of my limbs out of it, so just a small piece remains on top of my torso somewhere, the duvet stays 💪

You have to really feel for Jack Doohan.

Set up for failure before he’d even turned a lap of the steering wheel.

An unbelievable amount of pressure on him before the lights went out in Australia.

He’s had a tough rookie start but he didn’t deserve this

If you have ever been annoyed with someone for talking about their chronic illness or disability “too much”—I want you to know that I wish I had ANYTHING else to talk about. And when I do have something else to talk about, I certainly do, and am SO excited and grateful when that happens.

My outlook emails still down in uk!

Chronic illness fatigue isn’t just being tired, it’s a relentless, soul-crushing exhaustion that drains more than just your energy.

It steals your motivation, your joy, and sometimes even your sense of self.

@AsdaServiceTeam hi Asda 😊 random question but I wondered if you are able to tell me which variety of apple is in these packs please? I really like them and want to buy some whole apples the same!

I can never understand why the TV media feel the need to have a reporter standing outside in a dangerous storm to tell us that we have a dangerous storm & we shouldn’t stand outside in it #StormDarragh

Chronic illness doesn’t care about who you are—age, gender, religion, politics, how fit, strong, wealthy, or successful you are. It crosses all boundaries and can affect anyone.

No one is immune; All it takes is one bad illness or event to trigger a life you never expected.

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

@NOWHelpTeam Never mind they are there now!

[Gem💎 @GemsMyName]

@NOWHelpTeam Any idea when any of the sessions that have already happened will be available to replay? They are usually up by now!

Spending the day stating what time it *really* is.

[ThePOTSPostman @ThePOTSPostman]

Everyone always assumes POTS is just anxiety—even some doctors dismiss it as nothing more. Sure, anxiety can cause a spike in HR like POTS, but if they looked a little closer there’s so much more they don’t see that doesn’t resemble anxiety at all.

Cold extremities.
Hands & feet turning purple from blood pooling.
Passing out.
Subluxations from hypermobility.
Dysfunctional salivary glands.
Gut motility issues.
Temperature dysregulation.

POTS isn’t just a racing heart; it’s a full-body experience. We need doctors to look deeper than anxiety.

Confused about what I saw in the sky a bit ago - too fast for an aircraft. Very bright comet? Looking SW in uk
