Window collisions are preventable. Turning out lights at night and adding well-spaced markings to the outside of windows are the simple solutions. If you live or work in a building that regularly kills birds, please say something! Talk to the management. There are many good products and design solutions. Bird-friendly windows are beautiful windows. https://t.co/iptmo6DYPE

I’m a tenured professor who was illegally terminated by @FromCBU in May 2024.

After 10 long months of delays, I finally received a Right to Sue letter from the EEOC (March 24, 2025). I'm now looking for an attorney to help me file in federal court. 🧵(1/6)

[Associate Deans @ass_deans]

Yes, we support academic freedom and free speech, but not without limits. For the college, your right to free speech ends where the college budget begins.

So if your speech affects federal returned indirect or state appropriations, we’ll need you to shut up.

[The Schwarzman Animal Medical Center @amcny]

The holiday season can be especially difficult when you're missing a beloved pet. Certain moments—like traditions, routines, or unexpected reminders—can feel overwhelming. Taking time to plan ahead for the things you can control, such as creating new traditions or setting boundaries, can help you better navigate the triggers or emotions that you can’t.

In this graphic, AMC's veterinary social worker, Jamie Cohen, LCSW, offers tips to help you through this time of year.

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.

There is also confusion about the need to use the Doctrine of Double Effect to justify the use of opioids at the end of life.

But because careful, skilled titration of opioids does not hasten death, there is no need for the DDE.
