Members of 539 Assault Squadron Royal Marines took part in a riverine operation as part of E Green Osprey.

The Bosun's Call, a whistle used in the RoyalNavy, served for announcements or "pipes." It signalled tasks like collecting meals while hot, leading to the phrase "piping hot." At day's end, it commanded silence, inspiring "Pipe Down." A versatile tool, it holds deep roots in naval tradition.

Doesn't wander far.

Threaders and snowy out tonight 🥶❄️ Looks like we may have a good covering by the morning.

The MMR vaccine does not cause autism.

There is no need for further research on this.

It's been done.

Multiple times. At a cost of billions.

It's a settled question.

Moreover, our palliative care, despite its reputation, requires a serious overhaul. Financially and organisationally, we must improve to ensure that choice comes with genuine options for care, not just end-of-life decisions. 2/2.

The conversation about #AssistedDying in the UK needs to be more open. While I support the right to choose, the current bill raises concerns due to its vagueness and lack of robust safeguards. The potential for coercion without proper checks is a real worry. 1/

Autistic Joy can come from unexpected things. Tonight is this simple but very familiar score for piano, which is pleasing to the ear and something I've spent the last couple of hours completely focused on. What brings you Autistic Joy? #ActuallyAutistic #AskingAutistics

From my family to yours, #MerryChristmas!

#ActuallyAutistic people may appear quiet, even with much to share. Years of being told we're too blunt or inappropriate have left many of us fearful of saying the wrong thing, making social situations feel risky and overwhelming.

The #ActuallyAutistic urge to help as much as possible, wanting to ease others' struggles and gain their affection, can backfire when some see you as 'too helpful' and suspicious or view you as someone they can exploit and take advantage of.

Autism is having to understand other people before you understand yourself, and no one making the effort to understand you. Which even you don't understand, because all your effort has been spent understanding them.

#ActuallyAutistic

#ActuallyAutistic me: I feel lonely and want to spend time with others.

Also me: I'm completely drained, anxious, and overwhelmed. I don't have the energy, focus, or mindset to engage meaningfully or have positive interactions right now.

One great aspect of being #ActuallyAutistic is my ability to maintain a deep, lasting passion for my interests, even over many years. I don’t give them up when they stop being 'cool' or 'trendy'. My connection to them is genuine, unwavering, and rooted in authenticity.

The #ActuallyAutistic need to use precise words to avoid confusion, only for others to focus on your untypical facial expressions, tone, or body language instead, and still misunderstand you.
