@wrobinson101 Loved this. Listened to every episode on Thursday- first at home and then on a long car journey. An utterly compelling story, beautifully told

I've been working on this series with Sue. It's an extraordinary story. I've never heard anything like it in all my years as a broadcaster. It's not to be missed.

It looked like just another love story But beneath the surface lay something much darker and more complex. Less than 24 hours until the launch of Million Dollar Lover @BBCRadio4 @BBCSounds with the most amazing team ever @wrobinson101 @joelmoors

Such an important 🧵 on language around suicide. If you read one thing today on Twitter, please let it be this 🙏🏼

The day before my son should have been 26, and on the day the news is reporting 3 suicides relating to the same hospital, I’d like to make a point about the language around suicide. It’s only going to be 3/4 tweets. If you agree, please retweet and let’s see how this goes

So proud to have been part of the @Yorkshire_STN Suicide Memorial Quilt, launched yesterday. Each square stitched with memory & honour & love. Here’s the patch my mum and I made for Lily - my cousin, but little sis in all but name ❤️- who died just after her 18th birthday 🌹

@wrobinson101 Miss your lovely voice and lovelier manner on R4, Winifred. Hope you’re soon feeling much better 🤗

I feel a little bit better after a lousy day and night. It is COVID. I tested positive this morning. These latest strains are very infectious. The only place I have been out to is the shops for food at the weekend.

I’ve written a new article about my favourite early modern healing objects: #witchbottles!
This research began as my MA thesis back in 2013, & inspired my PhD on magical (but also medical!) objects.
Out now in Magic Ritual & Witchcraft:

@AnnieThwaite Actually you had a doctor’s kit and regularly performed surgery on anyone who’d lie still long enough. You just grew up to be a different kind of doctor!

The disappointment my poor mother must’ve felt when at age 4 I was still trying to eat household items and glue things to walls instead of being involved in political activism

Shoutout to my brother who aged ‘nearly 5’ wrote this letter to Prime Minister John Major asking him to abolish boxing because he was worried about the potential brain damage involved

What objects do you think of when you hear the word ‘amulet’? An evil eye, a four-leafed clover, a lucky pair of pants? On our blog, historian of medicine Annie Thwaite explores the complex history of amulets and their connection to medicine. Read more: bit.ly/2DlV1qC

I’m stunned by this. Polling shows 70-80% of people assert that Cummings broke the rules.
@maitlis reflected that. Simple.
Contrast this with no reprimand of @bbclaurak activism on behalf of Cummings.
This is Govt bullying of BBC. theguardian.com/media/2020/may…

It says a lot about the political culture in the UK that the only person who has faced any consequences for Dominic Cummings' actions is a journalist who pointed them out. theguardian.com/media/2020/may…

About to finish my PhD. Feeling a sense of excitement and accomplishment at nearly being done, but also looking at it in its one-whole-word-document form and thinking: is this it?? (Anyone else get that?!)
