@Morrisons I don’t think I’ll risk cooking the pork shoulder I bought 2 days ago for my son’s birthday…told to return very smelly rancid piece of meat to the store…no named person to complain to either. Please do better (I binned it, I don’t chauffeur rotting meat)

This is indeed exciting news and not least for me as @KathrynEccles is my sister! I am sure the new team will be amazing!

@ItsEmilyKaty Sincere condolences. I am sure she was very proud of you

Sadly I lost my Grandma over the weekend. The week she spent in the ICU, she received such wonderfully compassionate care. So grateful for all the critical care nurses and doctors, and for our NHS. ❤️

Looking to interview a few staff from UK adult inpatient mental health services about management of self-harm for a PhD study - please contact me j.baker@leeds.ac.uk if interested in taking part.

When Sigmund Freud was told the Nazis were burning his books, he sarcastically remarked, ‘What progress we are making. In the Middle Ages they would have burned me. Now they are content with burning my books.’

My children are not on the autism spectrum because I took Tylenol while pregnant. They’re on the autism spectrum because I, a person who will wear only one type of shoe and can’t eat food that is “too potato-y,” had babies with a man who has an encyclopedic knowledge of European aristocracy but a limited ability to process social cues.

ANDOR writer Dan Gilroy has released a statement critiquing the Trump administration and commenting on the parallels between the show and Disney’s suspension of Jimmy Kimmel. “As one of the writers on the Disney+ drama Andor, we spent six years thinking about a fascist takeover of a galaxy far, far away. Six years thinking about ordinary beings as an authoritarian regime comes in for the kill. Many people saw parallels between Andor and the real world. I see them as well, particularly in the events of the last week. Donald Trump’s tools of governance, coercion and intimidation, have found focus on Hollywood. Faced with a social media firestorm, fear, and an FCC head threatening “they can do this the easy way or hard way,” Disney suspended Jimmy Kimmel for speaking his mind. I deeply disagree but acknowledge it was a difficult decision. If you believe otherwise, wait until fate knocks on your door and demands you choose between conscience and hardship — because if you work in this industry that day is coming. The suspension bought time, but not much. Disney now stands at a crossroads: terminate Kimmel’s contract and become pavement for the road to a brave new Trumpian world; or stand for the First Amendment and take the onslaught. There’s not much at stake, just free speech, the oxygen that sustains life in this town. Trump’s aim is to control what we make and say. The concept seems far off and abstract. Neither is true. Is it hard to conjure a new oversight office or cabinet seat? Is it difficult to picture Trump toadies deplaning at LAX with binders of banned topics and mandated alternatives? You’ll meet them when you have to pitch for approval or get grilled about subversive co-workers. Regardless of how the jack-booted attack on Jimmy Kimmel is resolved, this isn’t a skirmish. It’s a siege. The first thing Putin did after taking power was silence shows that criticized him. Artists are censored first because they fear us most. The fact this isn’t new doesn’t diminish the shock of the last few days. The majority in Hollywood believed their job was entertainment — the bolder souls attempted to inject theme and commentary — but for everyone this has suddenly become Westworld real. Whether you’re reading this on line at Blue Bottle or killing time before your 3 o’clock Zoom or staring at a glowing screen unable to sleep, we have all become characters in a story where our actions carry actual weight and consequence. Our industry faces the most sophisticated, venomous, creeping evil in America’s history. There’s no standing above this conflict. No impartial observers. If you’re on the sidelines you’ve made a choice and must live with it. Their goal is to instill fear, to make you feel helpless, hopeless, to break you down. Don’t let them. Educate yourself. Organize. Speak truth to authority. Because the story’s not written — the pen is in your hand.”

@LesleyScotNet They are lovely!

Made some earrings in my jewellery class. They look a bit wonky thanks to the ear posts. They are ovals and will hang straight.

Marcus is the best of us

@charliersmith1 You look amazing! And happy.

Exactly 4 years ago, I woke up on a psych ward after trying to take my life the day before This morning, I woke up in my own bed, and went for a walk along the beach. I’m not saying things are perfect, but they definitely did get better ❤️

For too long, suicide has been shrouded in silence, stigma and misunderstanding By starting the conversation, we can change the narrative on suicide Suicide prevention is our collective responsibility, and together, we can create a world where every life is valued and supported My last #WorldSuicidePreventionDay message as President of International Association for Suicide Prevention @IASPinfo #WSPD2024
