What's an opinion you have that would make a bunch of people angry? Write it down in a notebook called, "Why would I want to make a bunch of people angry right now?" and then close that notebook and have some tea.

I can never understand why children's books get left out of "great book" lists. The books we call "children's books" are really books written for an audience that includes children, but excludes no-one. They are books for EVERYONE - and if you exclude them, you miss the most important books of all!

Earlier this year I had the great pleasure of discussing the taboo topic of death & dying with Andy Coulson for his Crisis What Crisis podcast. Please consider listening - I hope it frames some important context for today's momentous vote. open.spotify.com/episode/1DXf...

Perhaps the ultimate example of a #PoliceFamily in our collections is the Claydens. Not only was Alice Bertha our first Woman Inspector with arrest powers, her father, three brothers, husband and stepson were all also Met officers. #EYAfamily #family #ExploreYourArchive

IMHO individual PAs are well meaning people who have been misled. The PA role is under trained for the tasks it is deployed to meet. This is very much a policy and system issue, and not an individual PA issue. Patients, ordinary PAs, grass roots doctors and public have all been misled.

Alas neither Labour UK nor Wes Streeting on here yet, but could we all agree that however MPs vote on AD next week, this is a huge opportunity for the government to announce - finally, after decades of successive governments failing dying people - proper NHS funding of palliative care?

it’s not “retreating into a bubble” to want to see posts by people you like and want them to see yours

Highly recommend reading this piece on the increasingly widespread use of PAs to replace doctors in the NHS. It’s an issue that horrifies many of us.

All this talk about echo chambers. My take is this. I look at social media spaces as an extension of my living room, if I wouldn't want you in my home I don't want you here. And my home doesn't welcome racists, homophobia, Transphobia, misogyny and all other manners of right wingers.

A police officer was put in a headlock and had a gun pulled out on her. Constable Erin Lee was given the bravery award at the Merseyside Police's annual 'Community First Awards' on Tuesday, November 12 #police #policeofficer #thinblueline

The hardest thing to get used to about Bluesky is not getting nasty replies from people who don’t know the difference between ‘your’ and ‘you’re’.

I simply could never have predicted I would end up such an avid reader of Computer Weekly! But honestly, I am always reading it. Another great investigation into #policing data and computing issues: www.computerweekly.com/news/3666154...

Hello Bluesky! I’m looking for people to connect with and learn from in areas (not limited to!) #policing, #justice, #military, #safeguarding #investigations and #criminology. I know you are here!

The biggest realisation for me so far re Bluesky is I’m not having to do a massive previous skeets check for controversy. I can follow people because I agree with their post. Because block lists mean I’m not seeing the crazies.

Great piece in The Doctor @bmj.com on research by @trishgreenhalgh.bsky.social et al about whether quality suffers when GP working is ever more remote and fragmented. Traditional values still alive and well in primary care, but harder to realise them in the work.

It’s mostly white people who talk about echo chambers. Maybe you need the internet to meet people with different ideas but the rest of us do not. We know what the “other side” thinks because we deal with it every day! Everywhere! We’re fine. Carry on. Happy Saturday!
