Patients are now dying because of what politicians have chosen to do to the NHS. Chosen.

You’re either against privatisation, or you’re against the NHS. Against the safe provision of healthcare for all.

If you’re against privatisation, please retweet this. Let’s send a message.

Me, first thing this morning:
I'll get so much done this Bank Holiday!

Me, this afternoon, with a book and cats in the garden: No regrets! 😅😅😅

@OvalFrankie If Mattel (after all the fanfare bringing her into the show) had actually bothered to give her something to do - like a proper story arc - she probably would have come back. But, despite her lovely Bulleid basis and all its potential, she was never more than a "generic girl."

Today is the launch of our Sustainability Network!

To celebrate, author @nataliefee told us all about the (free!) things we can do to save the world and the small changes that make a big difference. Find out more in #HowToSaveTheWorldForFree, published by @LaurenceKingPub🌱💚

@DeviantArt The damage is already well and truly done. We all know for certain how little you think of the "community" now, though I'm sure the potential loss of existing and prospective income from Core membership had no part in this at all.

@DeviantArt This is the stupidest and most tone-deaf thing you have done in the seventeen years that I have been using the site.
People are leaving in droves because of this "exciting" news. Even without the site-approved art theft fuelled it, AI art shoud not be on this site!

@AmySparkes I've always wanted to give the mentoring a go, but always chickened out last-minute. It does sound exciting and motivating though.

@YorkshireBook48 I used to love the little library near my home as a child. But the only one I know of now is the town library. I am registered, but don't go often due to time.
And my childhood library is gone now with houses in its place 💔
