Grumpy, in pain, prefers animals to humans.

It’s weird how everyone thinks you can just treat pain with dope now. There’s an air of ‘shut up and get stoned, you’ll be fine’. Not everyone can smoke.

Makes me really ill now. MCAS I think. I’m not at all against smoking, i know it works for some people, it makes my pain much much worse and causes severe mental discomfort. My head becomes agoraphobic and claustrophobic at the same time.

¡QUÉ LINDO ES EL MUNDO CON GENTE ASÍ! 👏👏👏 Hoy este Sr Chófer de la 513, detuvo la unidad y fue a buscar a este chico no Vidente que viaja todos los días(va a trabajar),vio q no llegaba ya q en esa vereda (Newton y Fournier) hay basura y cosas que le dificultan el paso. Los pasajeros lo aplaudimos cuando volvió, otro chófer lo hubiera dejado a su suerte, el no. Un hermoso gesto que ojalá muchos lo imiten. GRACIAS, SR!

Read this article, I have gifted it to ensure that everyone can read it. This is a terrible, terrible situation and it would seem there is some dreadfully deceitful and despicable behaviour being carried out by Sir Ranulph’s wife. Her own family members, unrelated to him, are reporting deep concern over this as well as his own family and friends. This is clearly something which needs to be investigated and her Power of Attorney be removed and handed over to someone responsible (if not returned to him if he is able) even someone independent because this story is so upsetting and it is almost certain that Sir Ranulph’s vulnerabilities and age are being dangerously exploited. That worst worry is that we know about this because Sir Ranulph is a national treasure, a man who has achieved so much in his life and a man who deserves to live his life with dignity and with the company of those he loves. How many people who don’t have the ability to gain attention for a situation such as this are also suffering at the hands of controlling, manipulative family members though? And imagine how possible it might have been for people like his wife to use assisted dying without his consent had it been passed without those essential safeguards. As per my opposition portfolio I have my monthly meeting tomorrow morning with our Director of Adult Services, Housing and Homelessness so I will be sending this article to him and will be asking if there is any risk of situations like this happening to people under our care. My suspicion is that this lady has been able to get away with this for so long because she has access to the money to to pay to circumvent the kinds of tight safeguarding controls which our social care service operates under. But I want to understand more because this is so upsetting. And I applaud the care home owner who raised the alarm on this as well as Sir Ranulph’s family and friends. telegraph.co.uk/gift/b22d14b…

I keep hearing the same thing: “Tish, your new music is great. You’re a unique star. But the women’s issue is polarizing.Every day I learn more about what’s truly at stake for women and girls of the future. I know I can’t fold. God has a plan. I won’t stop.

The monarch butterfly population has gone up this season by 64% and one of the reasons is because people are planting pollinators gardens. Look what we can do together with a common goal in mind. We need to plant more next year as their population is still not stable.

🚨Seventeen baby boys were treated for life-threatening circumcision complications at one Birmingham NHS trust last year. Medically unnecessary genital cutting of boys is a real child safeguarding blind spot that needs to be addressed. @natsecsoc quoted. birminghammail.co.uk/news/mi…

Extraordinary to see ME covered like this in mainstream media. The truth is the neglect is so staggering people can't believe it. As Monbiot says " has seldom been a stronger case for a public inquiry." 🖇️article 👇

A nationally ranked female masters’ swimmer lost to a male. When she complained, she was told she was engaging in “unsportsmanlike conduct” and faced a lifetime ban. We are SO done with this. Women deserve FAIR sport.

EXCLUSIVE: The full story of Khaliz Ali Alshimery, the illegal migrant who hunted women and raped a 20-year-old autistic student in Oxford, and the system that failed her. • In court, his barrister accused the student he raped of exposing herself, grabbing at his penis, and demanding £50 for sex • Migrant NGOs and protesters fought his transfer from a hotel to a barge days before he attacked her • The BBC ran 3 stories on his conviction and never once mentioned he was an illegal migrant • The victim's letter to the Home Office asking what they knew about Alshimery went unanswered • He's now exploiting a "stateless Bidoon" loophole to avoid deportation "It feels like his country now, not mine," his victim told me.

The brain is such a strange thing, watching how it behaves in chronic illness is wild. I had yet again, for the 1000th time, convinced myself I was better, that life was moving forward, and now I’m far from home and I can’t hide away, I have to shuffle into the dining room. I

I came with a friend and paid part of her ticket to look after me, and she’s wonderful. I was just having a bad day the other day, and the grief of realising you’re not actually where you thought you were. I’m glad I came though, and ultimately it’s good for me. I’ve gotten some

didn’t even consider this, and it’s so huge. I was thinking about swimming and being in salt water. I don’t know how my thinking went so far off base. Hope is a powerful thing, and I am so grateful that I can travel. I just wish I knew where I stood in the universe.

POTS can wake you from a dead sleep with your heart pounding, body shaking, sweating, freezing cold and nauseous. One minute you’re asleep. The next your entire body feels like it’s been flooded with adrenaline. It’s scary and uncomfortable, especially at 3am when you’re alone.
