Local & mayoral elections in Cambridge & Cambs in 4 days - but no signs on Coleridge Rec council noticeboards. And if I want to put one up myself, I have to pay for it. 😞 Can’t even do the basics.

I suspect I'll make myself unpopular again, but I welcome this. Small modular reactors make decarbonising heavy industrial processes; hydrogen production; grid balancing and other tasks easier. We don't need to choose between SMRs and renewables. We can have both. futurism.com/china-thoriu...

Happy 250th birthday to J M W Turner. Such a titan of British art, I had to give him his own chapter to end my book (focussing on his paintings of the burning of Parliament in 1834). One critic called him ‘the Fire King’, as an insult - but Turner had the last laugh!

I will grant that I'm not a politician & am not au fait with all the complexities of legalities & strategies. But at some point these guys have to start asking themselves what they're in politics for. If you can't at least stand up for the marginalised, then what on earth are you doing?

I feel increasingly disconnected from the party I voted for and had such high hopes for. Did we give them a mandate to cos-play Reform-lite? I want them to lead and argue for their vision instead of chasing polls. Oh and charge me more income tax instead of penalising kids & disabled people

All day, every day, twice the attendences (visitors & staff) of Glastonbury Festival - 400,000 people - are being neglected by UK Gov, NICE & NHS. We're so ill, yet our medical system underfunds research, wrings its hands re treatments, fails us. We're very ill & too many of us are dying. #MECFS

Some days having social care is really hard. Another random carer today. Came back to make my lunch a few hours after the breakfast shift…”You are still in bed?!” FFS read my damn notes. It’s not a choice. I’ve already done every physical thing I can manage this morning. Arghhh. #pwME #MECFS

As a follow-up to the '265' folder I posted the other day, this is folder '266' - and it's much larger. Anyone interested in the UK history of #myalgicencephalomyelitis (late 1980s) might be advised to download the two folders. #mecfs #cfsme #myalgice rfh1955.blogspot.com/2025/04/more...

If you’re dealing with Long Covid - there’s a chance you’re also dealing with MCAS and/or POTS/Dysautonomia. They’re two of the most common comorbids - and can have a devastating impact on quality of life. New allergies? Alcohol intolerance? Dizziness? Fatigue? Fainting? A mega 🧵 of resources

Really helpful, thank you! I've had ME since 1998, and have learned so much since Covid from people like yourself sharing relevant research and constructive advice.

for real can anyone in the #NEISVoid #mecfs #LongCovid community hook me up with a job? I can (remotely) work part or full time doing basically anything programming-related, also have done writing in a science/technical context. I don’t expect this to work really but thought I’d try.

Are GC's getting it through their heads yet what their attacks mean? Setting aside for the moment the absolute abhorrence and violation this is. The only way they can determine who is trans is by checking genitals. This means masc women get the same treatment. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

The Supreme Court sided with FWS. But it didn’t hear from a single trans person. This ruling sets a dangerous precedent and erases trans women from protections. It puts trans rights back 20 years. We won't stop fighting for trans rights 🏳️‍⚧️
