[Talking Medicines @TMedicines]

As GLP-1 use has grown, conversations now include compounded products and nutritional supplements.
Often grouped together, they differ in regulation and evidence. The question isn't whether a product is compounded. It's what evidence supports its use. https://t.co/Cqxii2d28V

I was brought up to regard English literature as a kind of secular religion. I never doubted that poetry and novels contained the meaning of life

I wrote this about the tragedy of the subject's decline and the dawn of a world in which nobody reads

Tmrw evening at 8pm I'll be opening my Etsy shop for a limited number (30ish) of my Victorian ink bottle tiny posy kits. They're designed to alleviate anxiety & lift mood while you create something small & beautiful.
They contain a burst lip handmade Victorian ink bottle (from 1860-1900),
a booklet I've written about the neuroscience of how the kit will help your mental health
an actual tiny posy of dried flowers (made by me)
all in a hand-printed box you can give as a gift.
I'll also be listing my botanical greetings cards in my shop tmrw evening too
If you buy something from me you'll be helping me massively tbh-I'm recovering slowly from being seriously unwell with a breakdown since December & unable to work. A RT would help so much 🌿

Insomnia has a huge impact on physical & mental health & even more so if you are living with secondary breast cancer. On #WorldSleepDay we're asking patients to complete our research project survey with @UniStrathclyde in tailored insomnia interventions: https://t.co/8RIg60ZakU

Our statement on today's protest outside London's JW3 Jewish Community Centre.

"This is part of an ongoing effort, carried out under the guise of humanitarian concern, to intimidate British Jews...this should act as a wake up call to encourage allies to make their voices heard."

Today is secondary (metastatic) breast cancer awareness day. With only 1 in 3 people actually knowing what secondary breast cancer is, we think it needs to be understood & talked about more.

We're here to give hope to everyone affected by this disease: https://t.co/0B0kLaGdlY

[Malala Yousafzai @Malala]

Exactly 12 years ago today, a Taliban gunman pointed his gun at my head and shot me for daring to speak up for girls’ right to go to school.

I want to thank every person for your solidarity and support, from praying for my recovery to helping me in my work for girls’ access to education, both in my home country of Pakistan and around the world.

Most years, I spend October 9th like any other day, with gratitude for having lived another year. But today, I am in New York to address the American Society of International Law (ASIL), a prestigious group of legal experts who have chosen to honour @MalalaFund and its work alongside Afghan activists fighting to protect the right to education for girls in Afghanistan. These women worked tirelessly before the fall of Kabul in 2021, and fearlessly since, to keep girls learning under the most impossible circumstances. It is humbling to stand alongside them and gratifying to see them receive the recognition they deserve.

The Taliban continue to point literal and metaphoric weapons at girls and women in Afghanistan every day, from public beatings to ruthless edicts that ban them from learning, working and living freely. The brutality of the Taliban’s oppressive system against women is so extreme that Afghan activists and human rights defenders are calling it gender apartheid.

Right now, Afghan women and girls need more than words of sympathy. I call on governments and influential institutions to leverage their power, and through international law, hold the Taliban accountable. I especially call on Muslim leaders and institutions to play a leading role in challenging the Taliban’s misuse of religion and culture.

Just as people stood with me and my friends more than a decade ago, I hope people will stand in solidarity with Afghan girls and women now.

[Masih Alinejad @AlinejadMasih]

One picture is pure fiction, yet the whole world can’t stop talking about it. The other is Marzieh, Ebrahimi attacked with acid by the Islamic Republic of Iran for the “crime” of not covering her hair and the whole world is silent about it.
It is true that, how Iran under the Islamic Republic and Afghanistan under the Taliban make Gilead from The Handmaid’s Tale look like a vacation spot.

Hearing Lesley Stephen's story of how she found and accessed her clinical trial for secondary breast cancer 7 years ago should give hope to others but 77% of patients have never been approached about a clinical trial. @Make2ndsCount
