not this rat learning to drive before i do

I'm in this facebook group where they're teaching their rats to drive > Spark is picking up speed and confidence on the triple-barrier course! She’s still learning how to take each corner wide (as she accomplishes with the first two) rather than tight (like the last, which

I second @GhostOfSocrates. We need clean air infrastructure incorporated into building standards; culture changes where ppl want others to stay healthy so test before attending crowded events and stay at home and/or mask with FFPs when ill; paid sick leave to enable this etc 1/2

@brownecfm What should we do? Should we all walk around with masks on? Should we keep getting a bi-annual booster shot?

So, CBS News decided not to air this 25 yr veteran federal agent pointing out all the ways the ICE agent was in the wrong for shooting Renee Good, on its broadcast (I wonder why🤨). At least it’s online. Reshare.

This feels like an important breakthrough moment… On the BBC News this evening, Medical Editor @BBCFergusWalsh clearly stated: “As for facemasks, simple surgical masks are *not* good at stopping viruses. You really need a properly fitted tight respirator mask for that”… /1

I don't usually tell stories about my kids but I've got to tell this one. My 8yr old lad really unexpectedly announced that he wanted to go for election to his school council. His pitch? Clean Air. I was literally stunned.

I find it bleakly amusing when commentators remark on how “even doctors” say people are overdiagnosed with mental illness etc. As if the medical profession hasn’t repeatedly been at the forefront of dismissing and gaslighting disabled patients, especially women. Wildly ignorant.

I hope everyone understands this isn't a drill. He is serious and his people will try to make it happen, even if they say otherwise right now.

💥 💥💥💥💥💥 CATA has written to the Minister, respectfully advising her that, as per her predecessor (Gwynne), she’s been badly advised. One can only speculate whether by DHSC, UK-HSA or the NHS/IPC “droplet, not airborne” dogmatists. tridenthse.co.uk/2025_03_18_Let… 💥💥💥💥💥💥 1/11

Q. Now the scientific consensus is #CovidIsAirborne & @WHO ADMITS they made a terrible mistake saying airborne mitigations weren't required, when will @NHSuk update our Infection Control Guidelines? UK Govt: We prefer the old @WHO guidance thanks. Stop asking. See below...🧵

Dear @UKLabour You don’t ‘incentivise’ someone with serious mental illness by taking away their means to survive. Hunger doesn’t spark ambition. Fear doesn’t fuel opportunity. Strip support and you don’t create workers—you create worse anxiety, despair, collapse. Dr Watts

“Benefit cuts with a red rosette are no different from those stained blue. And yet cuts signed off by a Labour government are in a sense particularly brutal. They come with a tinge, not just of fear, but despair and betrayal.” My col. in tomorrow’s paper theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

It’s worth really pausing on this: the Health Secretary is going on the BBC stating that people who have mental health conditions don’t really have them - they’re just being “over diagnosed” by doctors. This is beyond cuts to benefits. This is casting doubt on scientific reality.

Reading The Times report on speculated PIP cuts, I’m struck by not only how many people will lose vital support but how much we are already degraded to qualify. Have a stranger ask you about washing “below the waist” and then tell us how easy it is to claim disability benefits.

The Times reports people will only be eligible for PIP if they score at least 4 points ***in a single activity***. This specifically discriminates against people with mental illness, who generally score fewer points across multiple areas. It would be an absolute disaster. 1/3

So I work at a museum, and it’s pretty central in my city They have events twice a month that usually get a big turnout (over 1k people) I’ve been leaving out my “Why Am I Always Sick??” zines at a pamphlet table and every time I come back after the events, ALL of them are gone
