That heaviness you feel after events like yesterday is real. We've all accumulated a lot of mental and emotional weight in the first year of Trump's disastrous presidency. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/the-physic...
The physical weight of Trumpism
That heaviness you feel, that drag on your mental health, that drain on your emotional energy and lethargy in the face of world events, like yesterday, is real.

An expanding body of evidence suggests that the age of an ovary, not just the eggs it contains, is important to reproduction and healthy aging.

You ever just think about how much it sucks that Musk bought Twitter and absolutely destroyed it? Like man, that used to be where I'd meet new people, make real life friends, etc. Now, whenever I glance over there to check something, it's just unrecognizable.

I first bought, and completed, this during Covid. Life has been very unbalanced recently, so I dug it back out and it's been so comforting doing it again. Thank you @mooseallain.bsky.social 😊❤️

I broke my leg at 12 and thought being a doctor seemed helpful.
Now after treating thousands of patients, I know the truth:
Prevention beats treatment.
Community beats isolation.
Small habits beat big gestures.
Parkrun teaches all three.

Not sure why you need to chase Reform voters when there are millions of disaffected voters who would quite honestly make do with a Labour party that showed a bit of compassion and vision.

Enough of this racist fiction. Enough. Not a single non-white person in England is in a job in the NHS *because* they are non-white. Not a single one. And as for the idea that England's criminal justice system goes easy on non-white people because they are non-white.
Well. Just think about that.
Well. Just think about that.
A group of Labour MPs, peers and supporters write:
“We should legislate to root out DEI in hiring practices, sentencing decisions and wherever else we find it in our public bodies.”
Devastated to see how quickly this has arrived in the UK mainstream.
