@dieworkwear I always enjoy your threads. Thanks for the time, consideration and energy put in. It is appreciated

Some style lessons from Gerard Basquiat, a Haitian immigrant whose son helped define the New York art scene and neo-expressionism. 🧵

@Ruthentomology No problem. Once I identified them I decided to allow them to destroy my nasturtiums. My son and I love bugs so we're hoping to see them develop.

@coxkbs Hi thanks but I no longer need them

Hi @Ruthentomology I saw you were looking for Large White caterpillars for a research project. We have a lot of them in our garden. Drop me a message if you would like me to get some to you. Thanks

Hi @AbleLabels I ordered some items over two weeks ago and haven't received any communications from you since. I emailed yesterday and tried to call today. Please get in touch

@HMRGovPolEcon @piedwarbler1 @bazhsw8183 @DrRParker sportsforschools.org my son is in Year 1 at a state primary and they did a gymnastics session with an Olympian through this scheme. My not particularly sporty boy talked of little less for weeks. A value cannot be put on experiences like these.

@piedwarbler1 @bazhsw8183 @DrRParker I've worked in both sectors and I don't think that's true

🧵 about #class #privilege and #privateeducation. Watching the Olympic swimming last night and Clare Balding said something in such an incredulous tone which summed up the establishment perspective and how their experience differs. 1/

@mgmatt1983 @fesshole 100% agree.

@fesshole I have no idea whether this is true. But for me, you're a partnership. Tell her.

10 years ago wife & I got own bank accounts to pay for luxuries, clothes, meals out etc. £350 pcm from our joint account goes in. I'm a supermarket clothes, cheap curry kind of a man. I've now got over £30,000. No idea if I should tell her, give it to charity or buy a car.

@jangeffinwalk I am so sorry that happened to you. You were never a weakling, this vile person took advantage of a child. That is all on them. I hope you are able to find some peace. Know that you are strong and you are valued.

⚠️ TRIGGER WARNING ⚠️ Today, I finally crossed paths again with the person who molested me when I was a kid, and I made sure he’ll get a taste of the trauma that I had to carry for more than half of my life. (1/n)

@TheRyanHamilton This is devastating. I'm so sorry you had to go through this. What happened to your wife is indefensible. It's cruelty.

My heart is broken💔: As friends & family know, my wife was pregnant with our 2nd child, & about to begin her 2nd trimester. A few days ago she had severe pains, & bleeding, and had to go to the emergency room. There, it was discovered that our baby no longer had a heartbeat. Devastated doesn't come close to what that feels like. Unfortunately for people like us, because of the current laws in the state of Texas, that was only the beginning of this nightmare. Jess (my wife) had an "incomplete miscarriage", and what needed to happen, what was best for HER, and her health, was to terminate the pregnancy, and get the baby out. The doctor gave her a medication that would move this process along, and sent her home. Where, apparently we would be handling it ourselves. We were told it might take a couple of attempts before it worked. I'll let you decide how you feel about that. After a long, painful night of the equivalent of early labor, the baby was still with her. So, we went back to the Emergency Center to get the 2nd dose. A new doctor was on call. He was an older man. You could hear him in the hallway as he said, "I'm not giving her a pill so she can go home and have an ab*rtion!". Being well aware that our baby no longer had a heartbeat. Then, he came into the room to say, and I quote: "Considering the current stance. I'm not going to prescribe you this pill". Then, just sent us on our way. The "CURRENT STANCE"?! Did he really just say that?! No one should ever have to hear their wife say: "Get this dead baby out of me!". Can you even imagine how that must feel? The pain, and the bleeding continued. So, we decided to go to another hospital, about an hour away. There was a female doctor on call there, and we thought we might have better luck. I should probably mention, the procedure to get the baby out is called a D & C. It's scary, & traumatizing, but sometimes necessary in situations like ours. Especially in emergency circumstances. So we get to the next hospital. They take Jess in, ask her a bunch of questions, do a new scan... confirm that the baby is still there, with no heartbeat, and then disappear... for hours. Only to come back in and keep asking the same questions over and over. It's becoming clear that they're primary concern is NOT my wife's health. Instead, they seem to be worried about the legalities involved. So, they decide it is not "enough of an emergency" to perform the D & C. They do, however, prescribe another, stronger, final dose of the medication for us to try again... at home. So, we go home to try again. Another long day/night of early labor pains. Only to discover my wife UNCONSCIOUS in the bathroom. Having to pick my wife's cold, limp body off of that bathroom floor, not sure if I was about to lose her, is something I will NEVER forget. She had to be rushed to the hospital. By this point she had lost so much blood, and bodily fluid, her body gave out. They were able to stabilize her, give her the fluids she needed, and we came back home yesterday afternoon. We were also able to confirm that our baby was no longer with her. Now, not only do we have to live with the loss of our baby... we have to live with the nightmare of what we just experienced because of political and religious beliefs. MY WIFE'S HEALTH SHOULD HAVE COME FIRST. PERIOD! God knows what mental and emotional damage this has done. If you consider yourself a staunch "pro-lifer" ... 1) You've never been through what we just went through, and 2) You should take a long, hard look in the mirror and reevaluate your reasons for supporting such a cold, barbaric, ignorant point of view. It's not that black & white, and it's never going to be. If you think your "Pray To End Ab*rtion" sign in your yard is "Christian", I suggest you revisit the teachings of Jesus and try again. If you support these laws that make ab*rtion illegal, and result in people being put through what we just were, you should be ashamed of yourself. I've never been so angry, or heartbroken... and the devastation I'm feeling must pale in comparison to what my poor wife is feeling.

@dieworkwear This thread was excellent! Thanks for sharing

The producer of Ben Shapiro's show reached out to me to see if I'd like to discuss Ben's attire on his show. Like with Piers Morgan, since Ben invited feedback, I will do a thread comparing him to a menswear icon—this time, Ralph Lauren's Polo Bear. 🧵

@Thehullboy1 I don't understand why people are so mean. Please don't let it get you! Some people find it confronting when others take positive action for themselves, they find it threatening and they lash out. I'm sorry and it's hurtful but it says more about them than it ever will about you.

Thrilling way for someone to spend there Monday evening. Don’t usually mention hate but truly this can affect someone and their mental health. If someone is on the edge, something like this truly could tip them over. Just spread positivity mate…

@sewistwrites I enjoyed this thread immensely. Thanks for putting it together

@shipshapsong @thereisnojayjay Thank you for this it made me laugh out loud. What a roller coaster! I would have eaten it too btw

Went to the grocery store to get some deli stuff and the guy slicing the cheese gave me a slice to eat while I waited, now we’re getting married

@RoshanaMN Truly thank you for your service. When I broke my ankle last year everyone across the NHS was so, so kind to me. The sacrifices you make to provide us care are appreciated.

You know, the state of medicine in the UK is so bad that I couldn’t, in good conscience, recommend it to anyone as a career at the moment Which is a real shame, because I love orthopaedics so much, it’s the only reason I stay Thanks bones 🦴

@MrSteveAntony Thanks! She actually won the prize for best dressed at preschool 🥰

@coxkbs Wow! This is brilliant. I love the doughnuts, too!

Happy World Book Day @MrSteveAntony from our little Mr Panda. There was ever only one character for our three year old this year. She's even perfected her grumpiest voice for him.

I just read the most delightful, interesting, heartwarming article about beavers transforming the Scottish landscape in @NatGeoKidsUK I thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm 41.

Yes @stellacreasy on BBC #PoliticsLive

@Claires_Help I ordered a little pink Care Bear toy for my daughter's third birthday on Sunday. My friend went to collect it in store yesterday it was not there she and was not given a particularly helpful answer. Please help!

@fesshole When I worked in a pub I loved when I knew what one of the regulars would have without having to ask. It feels like family.

I always wanted to be such a regular in the pub that they'd automatically know what I want to drink. It's now happened and I'm gutted, feels terrible and I may have to find a new local.

@Recklsss_ I follow this guy on instagram and would entirely recommend you do the same. He is a ray of sunshine, light and positivity in an often bleak world.

The older i get the more i appreciate people like him. Having that upbeat personality and love is hard to maintain in an American society
