@Poppy_yyyyyyyy @JocastaMoney But also, if you have psoriasis you might have seen the unexpected effects it has on that- I see people on online groups for this having amazing results, going into remission where before life was bleak. Myself included

@JocastaMoney Everyone who’s on it look like they’re battling cancer.

Ozempic just seems like a Fairy Tale curse to me. Like a wish from a jinn. You can lose weight but also, destory your ability to build muscle tone. You may be thin and attractive but, just as your desire to eat has been nullified, so have all other desires. Is it just me?

@Poppy_yyyyyyyy @JocastaMoney Honestly time to read the science. It’s doing lots of other good things - blood pressure, heart attack risk, erm… diabetes

BREAKING NEWS: Someone in Westminster does their job.

@urbanponds101 The very best of beetles

How do we feel about Stag Beetles !?!

It’s that time of year - folks asking us about #bumblebees - WHY THEY’RE SEEING THEM ON THE GROUND - so here’s a thread to explain. Please #retweet! Every queen that survives means a new colony that gets to exist & produce queen #bees for next year! So important to #share! 1/9

@Poppy_yyyyyyyy Amazing thing to do. Keep the faith 🦌🦉🐴🦆🦡🦔🐿️

A few weeks ago I bought a nature reserve as it was at risk of being turned into housing. I’ve been massively stressed about it ever since as there’s so much that I need to do to maintain it. Seeing a photo of these deer that someone took on the reserve makes it all worthwhile.

@MichaelRosenYes @NHSuk @WendyNowak Above the eye in my case. I’m a survivor only due to a few lucky moments: the locum GP who’d seen Men B in Africa, being at home at Xmas, having to share a room with my mom at relatives house.

@NHSuk @WendyNowak The rash can appear anywhere: even in places we don’t usually look eg armpits, groin, soles of feet.

Meningitis symptoms can develop quickly, so it’s important to act immediately if you spot them. More info ➡️ nhs.uk/conditions/men…

@Roger_Organ I hate to say this but the reason the students died is that were born before the Men B vaccine was being given to all infants. Children born earlier than that are not all given the Men B vaccine. There is a gap.

@RosieDuffield1 I have experience of this first hand. This BBC info on sepsis needs to be updated, the roll over rash thing , not always. All who have been in contact need antibiotics. And obvs v sorry for those who are ill.

@SwailesRuth @TravelodgeUK @premierinn No you won’t. My company has taken them off their list

Hotel rooms booked for 6 nights for work, normally I'd use @TravelodgeUK but after reading about them in the news this week, I'm going with @premierinn as I know they have a lone traveller policy. I'm sure I won't be the only one. #SafetyMatters

How to make sunflower oil: Grow sunflowers on industrial monoculture arable land using nitrogen fertiliser derived from the Haber-Bosch process, pesticides, fungicides, and irrigation. Harvest. Transport to facility. Apply hexane, a petroleum-derived solvent, to extract the oil from the seed mass. Heat the mixture to evaporate the hexane. Some hexane remains. This is classified as acceptable residual levels. The resulting oil is dark and foul-smelling. Refine it under high heat and pressure. Bleach it. Deodorise it at temperatures around 240 degrees Celsius. Test for colour and odour. Bottle. Label "heart healthy." Ship. How to make butter, via Doris: Doris grazes. Doris is milked. The milk is cream. The cream is churned. That's it. The churning takes no solvents. The churning does not require a petroleum derivative. The churning does not produce a residue that needs to be classified as acceptable. The churning is just churning, which humans have been doing for ten thousand years without needing a refinery. The butter contains vitamins A, D, E and K2. It is stable at cooking temperatures. It tastes, by any available metric, magnificent. Doris is not available for comment. She is in Brian's field again.

@elaine_stritch @gingertotty The costume 👌

this French and Saunders sketch is my favorite piece of contemporary opera

@Docstockk @RooneyRachel But not sure what your take on it is? What do you think should be changed?

Significant intervention against the idea of an autistic spectrum from UCL's Uta Frith (psychologist responsible for much of modern thinking about autism in first place)

@HackneyBelle65 @helenlewis @CattyArt1 Yeah - along with the word ‘hysterical’. It’s very negative

@helenlewis @CattyArt1 “ A sort of hypersensitivity” Hmm to me this sounds quite analogous to the Victorian characterisation of women as neurotic. Categorisation of people in this way is pseudo-science and nothing else.

Uta Frith, one of the world's leading experts on autism, now believes that we might be thinking about it wrong:

@KirstieMAllsopp Plus the £££ - I think people are guilted into it by adverts

I frequently visit homes where there are one or more “fresheners” in every room. The smell is overwhelming and you immediately get a headache, the levels of toxicity people are living with is vast.

When are we going to wake up to how TOXIC air fresheners are? Why does anyone think that breathing in something you should not swallow is a good idea?! So many homes, offices & taxis have these things, when will it stop?

@silverpebble @ilfmuseum can you share - from one small museum to another 😘
