A brilliant short film by @UCLHresearch BRC. Involving people of all backgrounds and ethnicities in clinical research is hugely important in identifying treatments that work for everyone. @NIHRresearch 's Be Part of Research programme aims to address this. uclhospitals.brc.nihr.ac.uk/…

So far, doctors can't help. My LoCo is treated by two brilliant specialists + supportive GP. All 3 tell me, w great honesty, that they don't know how to help me or their other LoCo patients. They listen, throw supportive measures at symptoms, but There. Is. No. Cure. Yet.
It's very clear the general public still holds the belief that doctors can treat Long Covid. Without fail, when I post vitals, sweet people encourage me to seek health care, because they actually believe we will receive the care we need. We don't. They don't help us.

Many will welcome the Sun's decision to remove its hateful article targeting Meghan Markle, with its author reportedly "horrified" at the hurt it has caused. Will we also see some wider reflection from the UK media industry on the hurt evidenced here? xitter.cf/princessmeghn/status/1…

Speak out against racism. Do not turn a blind eye. Do not pretend you didn't hear it. Every time we say "I'm not getting involved" is the coward's way out and props up racism.
This lady blames black men for all violent crimes in South Africa and says they are worse than pit bulls and any other animal

This crushes me: 1 piece of #protestart zeros in on #CocaCola as harmful planetary polluter; eg of wider #climatecrisis. Storytelling central to predatory capitalist corp's domination. We drink it, #Coke profits, Africa dies of thirst. @JeremyRLent @RobGMacfarlane @GhoshAmitav
