I have stage 4 endometriosis. Today I've been in absolute agony with nausea, hips, back, even my shoulders in pain. This disease is brutal, chronic, incurable and it exclusively affects women. And yet, once again, a biological male, LARPing as a woman, has been appointed as a spokesperson/representative for endometriosis. Women are being erased from our own suffering. Our pain, our bodies, our disease. OURS!! Appointing a man, who can NEVER experience this isn't inclusion, it's invalidation. We deserve advocates who actually live this reality. This is NOT ok!

How times change.

Dear Cadbury, “From Cadbury this season.” What season? Go on, say it. It’s EASTER. You are selling EASTER eggs for the EASTER SEASON. How dare you profit off a Christian holiday while erasing its Christian origins. They are Easter eggs. It is Easter. Shame on you.

Watching A Woman of Substance last night and then today saw Jessica Reynolds filming Close to Home. Crazy!

@CopperCation Absolutely disgusting. Nothing about the Epstein story is funny. I do think that is meant to be Stephen Hawking though. Horrible to have this in a float in front of children

Another video of the St Patrick's Day parade, in Headford, County Galway - where a hysterically funny scene of a disabled young boy being raped by a transvestite appears to delight the crowd. Look at their faces as it goes past. Many of us have been saying how this is all being normalised by design. Looks like we were right ⬇️ @boudicasarmy @Wommando @KingBobIIV

6 years ago covid-19 took away Iceland's first win at Eurovision

LET’S GO CAMPBELL COLLEGE!! What a try! #schoolscup

@andreaowenss Oh no Andrea, that’s awful. Hope you’ll be ok. xx

When a walk to Lidl to buy cereal ends up with me having a CT Scan to rule out a brain aneurysm... 20hrs at RVH & counting... no aneurysm, no irregularities with bloods, no signs of a standard stroke but I may have had a "micro stroke" Happy St Patrick's Day 🫠

@JudithR94008067 @MichaelRosenYes So interesting!

@_mels13 @MichaelRosenYes I was in our trial of Hep B (I did produce antibodies) and Hep A. I have also had all varieties of polio immunisation from 1958 to 2013. I do remember well the problems with developing the B vaccine.

Now that we have the vaccines for bacterial meningitis, ideally, it should be possible for everyone to avoid getting meningitis. I hope the authorities work out very soon how a group of young people were not covered by the vaccines.

Turned on the Schools Cup and they’re all fighting 😂

@JudithR94008067 @MichaelRosenYes I’m a biomedical scientist in Micro so have a keen interest in this, especially having to study this for my specialist portfolio!

@_mels13 @MichaelRosenYes I retired more than a decade ago after many a year in a reference lab. Harder to keep up now than when the book was “in the library”.

@JudithR94008067 @MichaelRosenYes If you are interested the NHS Green Book has information on vaccinations

@_mels13 @MichaelRosenYes And again late this morning.

@JudithR94008067 @MichaelRosenYes The UKHSA website. They confirmed this morning I believe.

@_mels13 @MichaelRosenYes Source of info? Yes, I believe you but am waiting for bacterial confirmation( which should be through by now).

@Leontia2001 Yeah really enjoyed the first two episodes. It’s quite funny too

@_mels13 Is it good, Mel? I’m saving it for the Easter holidays

The lovely thing about The Other Bennett Sister is the actress playing Hill is the original Mary Bennett from the 90s, Lucy Briers. 💕 #theotherbennettsister

Omg get Tracey Magee an umbrella!! She’s absolutely drowned! #utvlive

Meningitis outbreak is awful. Thinking of all the families involved and also a shout out to my fellow Microbiology Biomedical Scientists doing all the testing for the patients and students 🔬

I’ve loved Jessie Buckey since this show. I wanted her to win. I’ve followed her career ever since. So emotional for her tonight!! #jessiebuckley
