I call on my party and my government to remove themselves entirely from X and communicate with the public where they actually participate online and can be protected from such illegality.

We certainly do! Am leaving NYC after 3.5 years here and am so relieved. 🇺🇸 is the dying country - nothing works properly here - literally nothing. And quality of life is 💩 by every single metric.

So true-I’ve just read the article in horror- but living in the US for the past 3 years I can understand why some women are turning to parallel worlds as the health care system here is so deeply flawed. You can feel (and see) the profit drive in each interaction, laced with the fear of litigation

I’ve been idly wondering when you’d get fed up with all the numpties on here arguing against your years of expertise!

@jonnelledge.bsky.social check out a couple of my replies-am not expert in much except this! Ditch bmi and measure your waist/height instead-it should make you feel (even) better about your weight loss-all your internal organs will be thanking you - even more than your knees! Good job you 😊

It’s less about how tall you are but about body proportions-long legs shorter trunk=underweight, shorter legs longer body=overweight. This is cos our trunks are much heavier than legs. Best measure for health implications is waist:height ratio-waist circumference should be half or less than height.

As a public health nutritionist I can confirm what others are saying-BMI is rubbish for individual level-cos it depends on body proportions (long legs shorter trunk=underweight & vice versa). A better individ measure is waist:height ratio. Waist circumference should be <half than height-good job u!!
