@JohnMadden73 @charliersmith1 I just spoke to God - he said he thinks you’re a homophobic bellend.

I have some exciting news to share… I have a girlfriend! 🥰🏳️‍🌈

@thereadingpara Ju!!! Watch this…we were exactly the same but were more up to date now after watching this 15 min recap youtu.be/POhK-IlHobc?si…

I eagerly awaited the first episode of season 2 of Severance & it fell completely flat because so much happened in season 1 that I’ve forgotten, I completely lost the plot. Rewatch of season 1 it is then!

@crimegoodyork @Living_North Yayyyyy this is fab!!!! Congrats 🙌🏻

We are so happy to have been chosen by Living North Magazine as one of “The Best Independent Yorkshire Bookshops to Visit This Bookshop Day”! 🎉📚 The theme was Bookshops Making a Difference. 💙 #YorkBusiness #YorkBookshop #IndependentBookshop @Living_North

@thereadingpara Yayyyyyyyy!!!! Well deserved!

I am so grateful to whoever nominated me for Book Blogger of the Year (again!). I took a little step back from book reviewing a couple of months ago as things were getting on top of me, and this just proves you can go lightly on the pedal & still achieve great things! 🙌🏻

Oh it’s only @BongosBingo country special!!! 🤠

I’m so extremely proud to announce that I now have my first ever published piece of writing! Thank you to @classprofession for asking me to write the foreword for this emotional & funny anthology of paramedic stories. Sirens & Stories is now available for pre-order! ⬇️

@thereadingpara @classprofession Oh whaaaaat?! How did I not know about this?!

… umm yeah people are TOTALLY normal😭

@givandchill @alexberesfordTV This makes me feel so sad 😢 I’m so sorry that you’ve been made to feel like that.

@alexberesfordTV I wasn't born here, but I have lived here 21 years. It's never felt like home to me.

I was born here but this weekend it didn’t feel like home and I know so many who felt the same. Guess we’ll all just go to work like normal Monday morning.💔

@thereadingpara @runforall I loved it Ju!!! I’m so excited for the next one 🤭

York 10k done this morning, with me sister @supatroopa29 - look at her go at the finish!! Time was 52:47 which I’m quite chuffed with as I’m marathon training & not currently in speed mode! Thanks @runforall for another great day! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

@thereadingpara @elspells13 Lockdown taught me that I could absolutely not work, not see anyone outside of my family, and be the happiest and “not bored” ever 🫣🤣❤️

@elspells13 It’s like when people say you’d get bored of you didn’t work - erm, no I wouldn’t.

So true. And we don’t feel lonely either.

@riverjxavier @thereadingpara Green still deserve your vote though.

@supatroopa29 @thereadingpara I’ve always voted Green but Labour dominate here.

Not sure who to vote for? If you want the Tories out then vote tactically. You can find out how to vote tactically in your area here: stopthetories.vote

@riverjxavier @thereadingpara But I want labour to see they are losing votes and make changes.

@riverjxavier @thereadingpara Have a look at the tactical voting link @thereadingpara posted. If you need to vote tactically it’ll tell you who to vote for, if the tories have no chance in your area then you can vote with your heart. I’ll be voting green. First time ever not voting for labour.

Heading out to get Pretty Muddy at @raceforlife with sister @supatroopa29 & nieces @rosiedickoo & @ollieswain_ 💗💗💗

@jverona77 He looks like an Eric to me

@thereadingpara Omg I need to read this!!!

Leeds next week!!! 🙌🏻

@tony_smith37 @thereadingpara @crimegoodyork Thank you for a lovely evening, love you lots!!

A wonderful day in York with @crimegoodyork & my sister @supatroopa29, and a beautiful sunset on the way back to the train station! 🙌🏻

@thereadingpara Hopefully the 4 July will be the beginning of this ending 🙏🏼

I’ve spent almost the entirety of my 10 hour shift at hospital today, managing a queue of 15 ambulances at A&E. When is this going to end? It’s exhausting.

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.
