I publish books - the latest one is on invisible illness. Also graphic design, websites and maps.

@YouGov We're getting a Bank Holiday and street parties everywhere. That's going to boost the figures for "taking part"

[Lia Rees @LiaWayward]

@Flatshistorian @NewhamBookshop I think I've missed this one. Is it available anywhere in FG? (say, at @number8_FG 🙂)

@FundraiserSarah @InnovationMatt @AngiecarterUK It's also brilliant for setting up secret rooms for small group discussions. The lack of ads and distracting crap is a major feature, and it's fun to give your shared server a stupid name and assign dumb "job titles" to everyone :)

Newborn stars shine like snowflakes in the ''Christmas Tree Cluster'' revealed in infrared. Dynamic protostars appear as pink and red specks toward the center.❄️🎄
✨Wishing you peace and joy this holiday season✨

@ClareGerada A pet hate of mine is when GPs feel qualified to say with perfect conviction that you *don't* have ADHD. Someone without specialist knowledge can neither diagnose nor rule it out. But somehow they think the second is reasonable, and there's no penalty for failure.

@coopuk Thank you. Vegetarians and disabled people in particular will appreciate it.

[Lia Rees @LiaWayward]

@coopuk Yellow text on white is practically unreadable to many of us, and your shops have "warm" electric lighting which makes it worse.

@ENBrown I know how this goes. Arrest, search, find weed, "see, it was justified". Repeat.

2,000 kids under 9 years old have been referred to the UK's counter terrorism Prevent strategy including a four year old talking about Fortnite.

@NickMonopoli My reports were full of that crap. Also "Needs to learn she isn't always right".

@bennessb (I also enjoy disobeying default options and Google recommendations.)

[Lia Rees @LiaWayward]

@bennessb Always unlocked. I'm behind two locked doors, there's no need for annoying little locks on individual possessions as well.

“About one in 12 people who try meditation experience an unwanted negative effect, usually a worsening in depression or anxiety, or even the onset of these conditions for the first time, according to the first systematic review of the evidence.” 😲 https://t.co/mbQsQ1yUmP

@NHSOrganDonor Why are the family still consulted? If they can veto the patient's stated desires by simply claiming the patient changed their mind, it makes the process of consent meaningless whether it's opt-in or opt-out. Shouldn't it be as binding as a will?

[Lia Rees @LiaWayward]

@Norrienon @stephenctimms @AnitaBellows12 Where are you getting your data? The latest week on record shows a death toll of 21,997 and a C19 death toll of 8,237. Normal causes haven't gone anywhere like you suggest - they're actually being recorded at a higher rate than before, *and* a higher rate than C19.

@fuckforbundet If he's insisting she's traumatised when she knows she isn't, that's the hallmark of a seriously crap therapist.

[Lia Rees @LiaWayward]

@NewhamLibraries Much appreciated! I lost my card years ago, but I can send address details if those would help.

[Lia Rees @LiaWayward]

@NewhamLibraries Ah, thanks for clarifying. So it won't cover one from several years ago. I just wondered :)

@francesgrahl Blogging's out of fashion, but if you want to actually write (as opposed to briefly caption a photo) it might still be the only way. Brilliant plan, however it's done.
