It’s 30 years since The Wannadies released the You & Me Song. I always loved it - still do. Zero regrets for choosing it as the quotes inside my engagement, and then both of our wedding rings.

I am *winning* at parenting today. I remembered my son’s dentist appointment. Reminded him about it. Left work a little early, in good time to get him there. He brushed and flossed. We arrived with 10 minutes to spare.

Palliative care should not have to rely on charity donations. We need a well funded palliative, NHS and social care system so that people don’t have to see this as their only choice.

My direct appeal to @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social
& Keir_Starmer in the light of yesterday's vote on AD.
If they sincerely care about dying people, surely now they will publicly & urgently commit to properly funding our threadbare, neglected palliative care?

Love this.
I’ve had a day at work which really reminded me that I love getting to do a job a love, in a place I love, with amazing people. Even on the harder days - I’m still glad.

Obviously, you should follow the WHO. Far from perfect, but pretty darn decent given the size of their budget (way smaller than CDC) & a mandate to cater to 196 countries.

I’ve really missed things like this showing up in my feed. Not buried under crap. And the people I want to hear from, being there as soon as I log on.

2) 55 minutes into the audiobook of this so far, and really enjoying so far. Give it a go!

I would love to tell you about the times vaccines prevented me from getting sick, but every time it happens, I don’t notice. I just keep feeling well.
Neither do you.
