I now have the same number of endorsements on LinkedIn for plumbing as I do for open access....

@bouledenerfs_ Yeah, fuck that. My husband needs a helmet? He can buy one.

@hselftax I have a few years, even at this younger age, where I can get a year or two for very little... due to working part-time so I will be looking into this myself.

I hardly use this site these days, but love this....

@AnnamacB There is someone on the gravel scene.. a Valtteri Bottas.. who seems to do something in motor sport.

Still the greatest ever Christmas related exchange on social media

@chriskeating @NicholasVinocur loook.. I go through all that, end up getting sued.
AND THEN have to do it all again. Reckon I'll have to drop eating or something in order to find the time.

Regardless of anything else, this will have very significant impacts on the health of these kids. It's utterly awful.

96% of children in Gaza feel that their death is imminent and almost half want to die as a result of trauma. 92% of the children in the survey were “not accepting of reality”, 79% suffer from nightmares and 73% exhibit symptoms of aggression. https://t.co/HbaAtLRAqL

@AbbiPulling Massive congratulations! xx

This feels really important full stop. But also crucial in the context of the discussions about Assisted Dying.

[Daniel Hewitt @DanielHewittITV]

Putting the final touches to our programme on the funding crisis in end of life care, which airs Thursday on ITV1.

I am so grateful to those who opened up to us about their experiences and the hospices who let us in.

Keeping Care Alive: Hospices in Crisis? 8:30pm Thursday, ITV1

In the last 30 days alone, “Dignity in Dying” ran an astonishing 602 Facebook ads, making it the most prolific UK political advertiser there.

Meanwhile, not a single word on the fears of the disabled, the concerns of senior lawyers and doctors, nothing.

East London calling. There are 50 free places for care leavers aged 18-25 yrs for Christmas Dinner on Christmas Day in Hackney. It is totally free. To make a referal please write to Kausar at this address

If any journos are planning thinkpieces on how tough it is to make a living in the arts, have this for free: I just used my Society of Authors card to scrape the windscreen of my post van.

I could *very* easily have missed all this without being proactive and opened the wound up.

And it would have been so very easy for the nurse to share this... We were not running late (indeed were running early).

[Michelle Brook (michellebrook.bsky.social) @MLBrook]

Unimpressed with nurses at my doctors surgery.

Sit down, chat a little, they remove some stitches, say bye and go to open the door.

I have to stop and proactively ask questions like "Can I take a bath yet?" (apparently not for a week).

"Can I run or cycle yet?" Apparently not

[Michelle Brook (michellebrook.bsky.social) @MLBrook]

"Can I lift anything heavy yet?" The first response "You can lift things, I mean you aren't going to be lifting heavy weights..."

I go to the gym & lift reasonably heavy weights. I garden & lift heavy bag & do pressups etc, I respond.

Apparently not allowed to do that either

[Michelle Brook (michellebrook.bsky.social) @MLBrook]

@maryohara1 done!

[Michelle Brook (michellebrook.bsky.social) @MLBrook]

@dnlbenson Nah, I'm on team 'keep G riding until he's 65'. Can't believe he is still their best GC hope in grand tours.

[Michelle Brook (michellebrook.bsky.social) @MLBrook]

I was repeatedly sexually assaulted when I was 13. And was scared I was going to be raped so made sure I was alone as little as possible with the person who assaulted me.
