After five stressful days (four presales and a general sale) we managed to secure five tickets to see System of a Down. Almost failed thanks to dynamic pricing and Ticketmaster glitches but it's our favourite band and our 40th birthday presents to one another so very glad our determination paid off!

Barely an hour ago, Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif warned us all:
“If this madness doesn’t end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased — and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.”
Israel just killed him.

Emergency Alert day has been confirmed as 7th September. If you have a secret phone for safety go to settings and turn off all government notifications. Setting it to silent or airplane is not enough 🚨 (guidance on each step is on the internet). Spread the word

We're having a frustrating time recruiting for focus groups at the moment. 99% of sign ups are clearly not real people! Weird email addresses, no online profile whatsoever etc. Is this affecting anyone else?

Man Brings Lunch From Home To Cut Down On Small Joys
RICHMOND, VA—Speaking with reporters while opening Ziploc baggies of pretzel twists and baby carrots, local man Stan Keppler said Monday that he has started bringing in lunch from home to cut down on his small joys. “Making your own lunch each day is a great way to reduce your simple pleasures throughout the week—it’s already made a huge difference for me,” the 38-year-old insurance underwriter said as he unwrapped a plain turkey sandwich from aluminum foil that he had woken up 15 minutes early this morning to prepare. “I used to go out for lunch with coworkers and actually enjoy myself every day, but now I just sit at my desk and eat something I packed from home. It’s quick, easy, and has cut my weekly sense of gratification by at least half.” Keppler went on to say that he is considering canceling his cable service as well, which would save him 90 hours of genuine relaxation time a month.

I am really saddened by the level of vitriol and hatred being directed toward the trans community.
We are losing our common humanity. How hard is it to treat people with kindness and respect?
Trans people are human beings — and they deserve to live in dignity like anyone else.

I really enjoyed working with the Patient Information Forum on this survey analysis. It was so refreshing to hear positive experiences of health communications from patients. Health charities do more than just inform patients—they help them to feel less alone.
