Every murder by Putin in Ukraine is now sponsored by Donald Trump.

Restricting vaccination as tightly as you do makes this seem a little performative

Over diagnosis is very rarely a problem in medicine. Under resourcing services is.

As an objective observer, it’s clear that Zack has transformed the Greens from a party that sheepishly sits on the sidelines offering practically nothing, to one that ignites national debates and influences government. The Greens would be mad to change leader, stark raving mad.

The Greens didn’t win Holborn & St Pancras, but this was no defeat.
Zack Polanski took 32.8% of the vote — the party’s second-best by-election result ever — and turned a safe Labour seat into a genuine contest.
A 13-point swing to the Greens is a foundation, not a finish line. 🌱

It can take a while. It’s losing someone close and unique and nothing is the same. Look after yourself and hold the memories close

Why not have the same (or better) eligibility as flu? Nobody claims it’s less harmful than flu.

Speaking as a Covid cautious therapist, I can say that just because you’re Covid cautious doesn’t mean you have OCD. To have OCD, the thoughts need to be irrational. There’s nothing irrational with not wanting to be harmed by a virus that can cause disability and death.

Wtaf is the point in this. We don't need more money spent on another review.
Of course long waiting times are having a detrimental impact on patients.
Put the money into tackling the issue, not yet another review.
An independent review will examine how long NHS waiting times in Wales affect patients’ health and whether delays deepen inequalities in access to care

I’m a therapist and none of my Covid-Conscious clients meet the criteria for OCD. This armchair pathologizing needs to stop. So many people have been hurt already and even more people will be harmed as long as this ableist rhetoric continues.

Jeez this obsessive, mind numbingly boring royal coverage is incessant. It’s so dull. Leave them alone.

My most used psych-diagnoses would be:
Social suffering
Situational distress
Sane reaction (to e.g. poverty, abuse, overwork, inequality)
Complex trauma
Meaninglessness
Existential dread [of varying kinds]
Loneliness
Unmet needs
Just surviving syndrome
Shame they don't exist.

Zack in parliament is good for the left.
It’s good for socialism, it’s good for environmentalism.
It’s bad for the billionaires, the establishment and the far-right.
Simple. Vote Zack 🗳️ 💚

Hey @google I’d like to report an error.
The lake that borders New York and Ontario is an international body of water, and it is widely agreed by the entire world, except one rogue leader, that the name of this lake is “Lake Ontario”
