Children of Fire - Health Care is Political

543 severely burned children had hundreds of operations. They climbed mountains medically & in their minds. Their mother Bronwen Jones needs a successor after 31 years at the helm. Help us to find that person. Part of the story is here youtu.be/kWCbJ07m1wE

All brave #Burns Survivors: They want to climb #Mountains. The first batch of potential contenders for the #Ethiopia climb in 2027 - #Africa's finest heroes in the making @ChampionSAfrica

"Israel wants to live in peace with its neighbours" is the biggest lie of all time. This is the West Bank. No Hamas, no war, yet attacked like this daily by "settlers" backed by the IDF. A savagely violent Jewish supremacy armed by the EU/UK/US

The Army Chief of Staff, a combat veteran with tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, asked Pete Hegseth why he was blocking the promotions of two Black officers and two female officers who had earned them. Hegseth refused to answer. Then he fired him. Nine U.S. officials told NBC News that Hegseth has blocked or delayed promotions for more than a dozen Black and female senior officers across all four branches of the military. Hegseth has now fired or sidelined more than a dozen generals and admirals. He is an out-of-control, unqualified former TV host and nobody in the Republican Party will say a word about it because they don’t want to make Trump angry. nbcnews.com/politics/natio…

This has to be some kind of grim joke. Does Yvette Cooper not know that we've noticed that the Strait was closed as a result of the invasion. When there's a war, people do things like blockages, sieges, and counter-actions. The Strait was open before the war, Yvette.

🚨 🇺🇸 Breaking: An hour after announcing his resignation, the US Army Chief of Staff says: "A madman will lead the great US military to ruin."

#CapeUnionMart's legal attack on protestors supporting the survival of #Palestine is in Court, even though the #Zionist owned shop group closed down a @backabuddy campaign for legal fees in late 2025

As @Dischem is allied to #Israel we cannot #ethically buy goods from them. While @Clicks_SA is Jewish owned, it currently seems to be a better shopping option or choose small local pharmacies. Jews are friends and neighbours, #Zionists are not

Many years ago, @Dischem helped our school briefly. Thankyou. Now, however, as we are trying to be #ethical #shoppers, we cannot buy their goods as they support #Zionist #Israel, currently the most evil nation on our planet, together with the #USA

A moment of #gentleness for your #children youtu.be/MifuzXQtlG8?si…

Woman of the Day Philippa Garrett Fawcett, born OTD in 1868 in Cambridge, daughter of the suffragist Millicent Garrett Fawcett and niece of Britain’s first female doctor Elizabeth Garrett Anderson, who achieved a rare distinction in her own right. On 7 June 1890 at the age of 22, she took first place in the Cambridge Mathematical Tripos, the first time a woman had done so. It caused havoc. The Tripos was famously difficult: 12 papers and 192 progressively more difficult questions over eight days, and for those in contention for the title of Wrangler, a further three days of exams consisting of 63 still more testing problems. Preparation took months. To attain first prize as Senior Wrangler, Cambridge’s champion mathematician, was regarded as the greatest intellectual distinction of all. No fewer than nine Senior Wranglers including Sir Isaac Newton and Stephen Hawking became Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge. Philippa rose at 8am and studied for an intense six hours a day, often not retiring until 11pm, but she didn’t go as far as her competitors who worked through the night with wet towels wrapped around their heads. She knew she was being watched. The scandalised Pall Mall Gazette reported that she dared to wear “her thick brown hair down to her shoulders, and has even been known (so I have heard) to ride on top of a bus” but she was determined - according to a contemporary news report - to deny ammunition to those who tried “to make out that the women’s colleges are peopled by eccentrics.” Women then were considered incapable of mastering maths. Fragile, dependent creatures prone to nerves and possessed of a mind several degrees inferior to a man’s, studying during puberty was tantamount to dicing with death because most Victorian scholars believed that “the brain and ovary could not develop at the same time.” To take first place was unthinkable. Yet Philippa did. She knocked spots off the second place candidate with a score a full 13% higher than his. Did this accord her the much prized title of Senior Wrangler, First among Cambridge mathematics Firsts? What do you think? As her cousin Marion reported: “It was a most exciting scene in the Senate…The gallery was crowded with girls and a few men, and the floor of the building was thronged with undergraduates as tightly packed as they could be. The lists were read out from the gallery and we heard splendidly. All the men’s names were read first, the Senior Wrangler [G.T. Bennett of St John’s College] was much cheered. At last the man who had been reading shouted “Women.” A fearfully agitating moment for Philippa it must have been. He signalled with his hand for the men to keep quiet, but had to wait some time. At last he read Philippa’s name, and announced that she was “Above the Senior Wrangler.” That’s right. Only a man could be named Senior Wrangler, so the bloke in the No. 2 spot got the title. Philippa was simply listed as “Above the Senior Wrangler” instead. Despite this grudging nod from the university, Philippa’s achievement attracted media attention internationally, and the Daily Telegraph made this its lead story stating, “Once again has woman demonstrated her superiority in the face of an incredulous and somewhat unsympathetic world... And now the last trench has been carried by Amazonian assault, and the whole citadel of learning lies open and defenceless before the victorious students of Newnham and Girton. There is no longer any field of learning in which the lady student does not excel.” You’d think that Cambridge would be proud to award a degree to someone of such exceptional ability, wouldn’t you? Nah. Women could attend lectures and take the same exams, but they were denied degrees on the basis of their sex. Instead, they were handed a Certificate of Proficiency, which makes it sound as though they’d mastered making sausage rolls in a Bake-off contest. Philippa promptly became a “Steamboat Lady”. Until I read about Phillippa, I’d never heard of “steamboat ladies” but it was the nickname given to women students from Oxbridge who travelled to Trinity College Dublin between 1904 and 1906 to be awarded an ad eundem degree - an academic degree awarded on the grounds of mutual recognition or equivalence. Trinity had long held the view that there was no reason to restrict women students from graduating on the same terms as men if they achieved the same grades, and its Board agreed to recognise eligible female Oxbridge students by awarding a Trinity degree. The Board anticipated that only small numbers of women would take up the offer to graduate: Irishwomen who had studied at Oxbridge. In fact by 1907, Trinity granted degrees to some 720 "steamboat ladies”, all of whom would have been awarded degrees if they had been men. How much talent and potential was lost? Philippa became a mathematics lecturer at Newnham College for ten years before going to South Africa to set up teacher training colleges. She died on in June 1948, two months after her 80th birthday, and one month after Cambridge finally conceded that yes, women could be awarded a degree.

While Iran is targeting US F-15 fighters jets that invade its airspace… The US is targeting civilians & bombed Beheshti University today, a public college with free tuition. We don’t have free college in the US because that money is instead being used to bomb colleges in Iran.

30 years ago Spitting Image dared to broadcast the truth about Israel. Now no one dares.

In 2013, Chris Salvatore, a 31-year-old man, met his 89-year-old neighbor Norma Cook after moving into an apartment in West Hollywood. What started as casual conversations gradually turned into a close, family-like bond. Norma lived alone and didn’t have close family nearby, so Chris began helping her with daily tasks and spending time with her. A few years later, she was diagnosed with leukemia and needed constant care. Instead of letting her face it alone, Chris took her into his home and became her full-time caregiver. He even raised money to help cover her medical expenses. He stayed by her side, making sure she felt cared for and not alone. Norma passed away in February 2017, but her final days were spent in comfort and companionship.
