Struggling to stand up from the toilet could signal the beginning of the end for independent living – here’s how to stay strong as you age.

As a surgeon, could not agree more with these reflections that Pope Francis wrote this in the Hospital. “The walls of hospitals have heard more honest prayers than churches... They have witnessed far more sincere kisses than those in airports... 1/8

Around 67% of participants noted that changing their diet had a positive effect on pain.

Southern Water guilty to 13 counts of dumping raw sewage in England rivers. Related to dumping in 2019-2021, hardly speedy action. Private equity controlled company has 119 criminal convictions, retains permit to trade, hike bills. No director prosecuted, no pressure to end abuses.

In the Beano this week Bananaman’s enemy General Blight becomes the head of DOPE - the Department of Pure Evil.

This is a terrible terrible destructive decision. These sorts of long running research programmes take decades to build and their insights accumulate over decades too - the longer they run, the more valuable they become. This is knowledge vandalism. Nothing new and shiny can replace it.

Very pleased to see this paper now published in Psychological Reports, with @marcellawoud.bsky.social, Katharina Westermann, & Jürgen Margraf: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/... /1

Genuinely, DM me. Today a charity - having rejected it for no stated reason - suggested I take it to Ruthin market, entirely missing the point that I want to DONATE IT. The economics of wheelchair supply is really puzzling

Last year Flock had a trip to London to see the 'Abakans' - incredible woven/tapestry sculptures created by Magdalena Abakanowicz. If you are into textiles & don't know these huge, magical objects then you are in for a treat! youtu.be/Xrxx3tpEuco?...

Britain wakes up every day, aims the gun at its feet and pulls the trigger. Just a prolonged exercise in meanspiritedness and self-harm.

We are excited to join the Bluesky community and begin sharing content focused on clinical learning opportunities, JTD articles & openly available resources regarding complex trauma & dissociation! View our full training calendar: cfas.isst-d.org/course-catal...

“In the past three to five years there’s been a complete reframing of this disorder as a #neuroinflammatory whole-body condition..It isn’t just about a little bit of tissue stuck in the wrong place. Your whole body has reacted.": buff.ly/40M2eJ8 (paywalled?) via @sciam.bsky.social #endometriosis

I’m conducting interviews with women SA survivors about substance use for my thesis and I just am so floored by their strength, openness, humility, humor, and intelligence. Lights a fire to keep fighting the good fight for sure. 🤍

For complex trauma survivors, flashbacks are not visual, but bodily. Emotional flashbacks flatten us like a mack truck, slapping us back into the emotional past w/o warning. We regress and re-experience pain in body & soul. Breathe. Affirm your safety now. Love & protect root to stem. #cptsd

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago: —Pioneering cancer researcher; —*Arrested* at airport in Boston; —Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana; —"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research. Read it. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Almost one in five accounts analysed on X, formerly Twitter, discussing the election were fake and used AI-generated images and emotionally manipulative language, according to disinformation detection company Cyabra. www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic...

I feel like we need to keep saying this because it’s so insane: This is a legal U.S. resident who has been detained for over a month now for his political opinions.

Any time we are tempted to propose a single formula for change, we should take this as a clue that we are trying to reduce our anxiety about uncertainty by reducing something very complex to something very simple. - Gabbard & Westen

Nigel Farage defends allowing US chlorinated chicken into UK as part of trade deal. Farage/Reform want US style insurance-based healthcare; lower food/environmental standards, worker/consumer rights; return to gold standard, benefit cuts. Who in their right mind wants this.

Pink skies and pink blossoms this morning on Edinburgh’s Meadows.

A #squirrel gets gently brushed and clearly enjoys it. When the scratching stops, it taps for more. This reaction is common in #mammals, as grooming and gentle touch can trigger calming responses and even release endorphins.

From the B Channel... Made my fucking day 😂😂😂

Saw this from @sathnam.bsky.social about his pending new book and was reminded of this about the generosity of George Michael, what a man he was

In a large sample (N=240) of self-harming patients with BPD receiving DBT, decreases in PTSD severity at one timepoint corresponded with decreases in BPD severity at the subsequent timepoint, but there was minimal evidence for the reverse relationship. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

““Body mapping is really about #storytelling,” says Jokela-Pansini. Most participants begin with their head or their #heart. “ #Family members are often in the heart,” she says”: buff.ly/0l0iIFD from @theguardian.com #InvisibleIllness #LongCOVID

Easy does it. You don't have to solve everything or figure everything out in this moment. Breathe; check in w/ yourself; remind yourself of who you are & what you're all about; remind yourself of your micro goals today; & focus in on the next teeny, tiny baby step.

New Blog Post - Three Queer Questions Whilst other commentators discuss the ramifications of the FWS decision on policy, I wanted to consider how the SC's reliance on biological essentialism may impact queerness in marriage, parenthood, and identity beyond a binary. open.substack.com/pub/danielle...

The American Psychological Association released 7 new guidelines for treating complex trauma last year, differentiating from PTSD treatments. This video is a clear & digestible overview, IMO, a must watch. The treatments follow the acronym HISTORY. See breakdown 👇🧵 #cptsd tinyurl.com/39dpksw8
