Circa 1985 - Dad never let a whiteout stop him walking in his beloved Lakes, and how I loved to follow him 🤍🤍🤍

What's an opinion you have that would make a bunch of people angry?
Write it down in a notebook called, "Why would I want to make a bunch of people angry right now?" and then close that notebook and have some tea.

I can never understand why children's books get left out of "great book" lists. The books we call "children's books" are really books written for an audience that includes children, but excludes no-one. They are books for EVERYONE - and if you exclude them, you miss the most important books of all!

Earlier this year I had the great pleasure of discussing the taboo topic of death & dying with Andy Coulson for his Crisis What Crisis podcast.
Please consider listening - I hope it frames some important context for today's momentous vote.

Perhaps the ultimate example of a #PoliceFamily in our collections is the Claydens. Not only was Alice Bertha our first Woman Inspector with arrest powers, her father, three brothers, husband and stepson were all also Met officers. #EYAfamily #family #ExploreYourArchive

Alas neither Labour UK nor Wes Streeting on here yet, but could we all agree that however MPs vote on AD next week, this is a huge opportunity for the government to announce - finally, after decades of successive governments failing dying people - proper NHS funding of palliative care?

A fascinating thread 🧵 I’m learning so much on here.

It's been snowing in the UK and the road gritters are out in force, begging the question:
Have you ever wondered where that grit actually COMES from?
The answer is more magical, beautiful and fascinating than you probably realised.

Highly recommend reading this piece on the increasingly widespread use of PAs to replace doctors in the NHS. It’s an issue that horrifies many of us.
The debate around the use of physician associates in the NHS is certain to be debated on this app as it was over in the other place
Last month I published this long read after speaking to Merseyside medics about their concerns

All this talk about echo chambers.
My take is this.
I look at social media spaces as an extension of my living room, if I wouldn't want you in my home I don't want you here.
And my home doesn't welcome racists, homophobia, Transphobia, misogyny and all other manners of right wingers.
