Please consider emailing...

...to make someone in the UK govt. listen, and help get my stranded wife back from the USA, and back under the ongoing medical care she needs.

Reposts hugely appreciated too. Thank you. x

The brilliant @lmbd1418.bsky.social has suggested people write to the Home Secretary Yvette Cooper re: my case. If you could spare five minutes, she's created a draft letter which you can use to send to [email protected]. I appreciate everyone's support. ❤️

I hope that these emails to the Home Office are so annoying that they will just issue the emergency travel document to shut us all up 😂 Jokes aside, this really lifted my spirits today. @tealcartoons.bsky.social and I thank you for your support.

This has been a bad few days for @drlindseyfitz.bsky.social and me. Please join this event tonight and distract Lindsey from her crappy situation.

I'm currently in immigration exile, see below.

Since I'm stateside, I'll be talking to the Morbidly Curious Book Club tonight at 7 pm EST about Victorian surgery and my first book, The Butchering Art. Please come and distract me with your questions. Link below 👇

Give me a prod via @ reply or Chat messages.
