Had a wonderful evening seeing Matt Green in #Bath - I haven't laughed so much in a very long time. Great to meet Matt afterwards too. If you get the chance to see him, go!

Today I listened to the worst case of medical abuse inflicted upon someone w #LongCovid in #Ireland that I've heard of.
Ppl need to be aware; patients are being traumatised, abused, gaslit; it amounts to psychological torture. The same has been done to #pwME for yrs. Needs to end

So it’s #RareDiseaseDay and time to celebrate all those rare people amongst us.
Including this one - who is the epitome of love 🥰

Up on the moors, unexpectedly, you can find a poetry postbox - spattered with rain and graffiti

The idea is to put a poem in, turn the handle and get someone else’s poem out

It’s so stuffed with poems that it doesn’t work any more - there’s a metaphor there somewhere…

School absence levels have soared in recent years - and if the government is serious about tackling them, air filters in schools could be a significant step forward in improving health and school attendance.

Here’s an indication of how prevalent long Covid in the US.

The U.K. Government stopped reporting the numbers of people with long Covid in March 2023 when it stood at 1.9M people including 62,000 children.

Are you ok with the Government trying to cover up long Covid?

Brexit promised. Brexit delivered.

A teacher (whose class are about to do some sculpture work) asked me for a little message for them yesterday. I always underline to kids that artists like mistakes, it’s how we learn and adapt. True innovation only comes when things don’t go to plan or challenges arise. 👍
