If you’re investing in an expensive phone sock… 🧦 📱
Remember to take care of your new luxury sock with a good sock stretcher.

We need gender-sensitive mental health care
My medical education, more than 40 years ago, was centred around the male body as the normative human being. As the American feminist and legal activist Catherine Mackinnon wrote only a few years later in Difference and Dominance: on sex discrimination: ‘A male body is the human body; all those extra things women have are studied in ob/gyn’. That was at a time when there was no imperative even to include women in randomised controlled trials of treatment, and they were excluded for many more years because the impact of their pesky hormonal fluctuations got in the way of standardising groups and making comparison between subjects.

This week's #MKMonday photo is in our catalogue as 'May Day fun run in Linford Wood, 1980', but that fails to capture just how much it looks like a still from a slasher film.

This is a leader that many of us can find hope in. Someone who uses the powerful words of a great man to counter xenophobia and hatred. Someone who speaks of diversity and unity, who is not afraid to counter the rhetoric of division & discrimination coming from right wing political parties.
