In a time of hate
Love is an act of resistance.In a time of fear, faith is an act of resistance.
In a time of misinformation, education is an act of resistance.
In a time of poor leadership community is an act of resistance.

In a time like this
joy is an act of resistance.
Resist. Resist. Resist.

“When you’re raped there is shame, and it’s not for us to have shame, it’s for them. It’s true that I hear lots of women, and men, who say you’re very brave. I say it’s not bravery, it’s a will and determination to change society”

- Gisèle.

What a woman.

Shame changes sides

'Doctors, charities and MPs' are not the primary providers of end of life care. I wonder if anyone bothered to ask nurses who actually do this work or thought to address the 50% loss of district nurses
.
After Friday's historic vote in Parliament to legalise the choice of assisted dying, it is equally important to improve access to hospice and palliative care - so this announcement is very welcome!

Do you think you're sitting still right now?

- You're on a planet orbiting a star at 30km/s

- That star is orbiting the centre of a galaxy at 230km/s

- That galaxy is moving trough the universe at 600km/s.

Since you started reading this, you have travelled about 3000km

Nice to see @Bluesky is free from the reaches of a disinformation-pushing maniacal billionaire, not controlled by an algorithm designed to censor news. Its refreshing to return to much needed debate without being drowned by mean people who encourage and celebrate ignorance.

What a happy place 💙
