Over 100,000 people are marching through The Hague against Israel's war on Gaza. Wearing red clothing and forming a line, they are demanding the government draw a red line in its stance against Israel. It's the largest protest in the Netherlands in 20 years.

Finally, done the first draft of a grant application. I spent the entire weekend trying to fit the proposal into 4 pages. I don't think it sounds too bad. Now sent off to co-apps for review. Maybe now I can enjoy what's left of the sunshine. 😭 #AcademicSky

Honouring the 70,000 #Tamil lives lost in the #Mullivaikkal genocide & 150,000 unaccounted for in Sri Lanka. Let's unite to remember their unyielding spirit amid unspeakable violence. Let's demand justice by sending the war criminals to The Hague.

While some of you were busy watching the act from the blue and white state in #Eurovision last night, they were busy committing further genocide in Gaza. And for that, they apparently deserved douze points from the UK. Sickening. news.sky.com/story/at-lea...

Up bright and early for my annual Whittington GP trainers' residential, where I usually have a spot to teach them how to dance. Last year was line dancing. This year, it's Bhangra.

Just out! Our peer-reviewed critique of the Cass Review has been published by BMC Medical Research Methodology. Please read and share. We show that the Cass Review is fatally flawed and should not be the basis for policy or practice in transgender healthcare. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

"Neglect of mercy, appalling violations of human dignity" ?! I can name at least ONE religion that violated human dignity for centuries, especially women. I can also name at least one war fought in the name of religion. Stellar level of hypocrisy from the new Pope

How’s that “safety of women” narrative going? These women were harassed and humiliated, because one of them didn’t look "woman enough" to the hotel staff and patrons. This is what happens when fear mongering becomes policy. I hope JK Rowling’s proud. www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/...

Content warning: death and dying Went straight to hospital from the airport. Dad's had a stroke affecting speech, swallow and the right side. He's in an open, noisy ward. Responding to sound and squeeze of hand. On IV to treat aspiration pneumonia. 1/3

This letter from Tony Vaughan KC, the MP for Folkestone, is the clearest articulation I’ve seen on the flaws of the interim update from the EHRC. The section titled ‘Legal Incoherence’ hits the nail on the head.

An eventful day to say least. Got home after dance event to a message from brother that my dad seems to be getting worse after his admission with a stroke yesterday. I was planning to fly out Monday but managed to get a flight tonight to Hong Kong. Comforting myself with some Asian food in lounge.
