Gonna go out on a limb here and say Labour could 'fix' about 20% of these depression cases by IMPROVING PEOPLE'S LIVES INSTEAD OF CUTTING PUBLIC SPENDING AND WELFARE

Next step in my osteoarthritis journey: needing help to change the duvet cover. Disability might not affect you now, but you don't know what the future holds.

Happy Valentine's Day! If you're not in a relationship today, remember that you're worthy of love, &God loves you more than you can ever imagine. As well as today being St Valentine's Day, the Church also remembers 2 other saints: Cyril and Methodius. Their story makes it "Palentine's Day"... 1/4

Strapping in for two and a half hours of Wagner (plus a pause for a restorative G&T about 2 hrs in!). @operanorth.bsky.social

Gym music is the worst. Lift music, fine. On-hold music, tolerable. But gym music - you're just making it harder for me to listen to podcasts

Been going thru old compositions. Wish I had been able to get stuff performed more often. The discouragement of having no audience is probably what stopped me continuing to write music. I have no music in me now which is an empty feeling indeed for someone who thought of himself as a musician once

Please read this. I have a lot of very privileged, highly educated white followers, but very few people have shared my posts on Gaza, made almost daily across social media platforms for over a year. It suggests many still do not see the truth, know the history or understand why this is our problem.

Terrible news. Me and Tony first performed together as 'Ben Hur on Ice' in 1981. He was hugely talented in many fields, and a very good friend. We giggled like kids whenever we met up over the years. RIP.

Very sad to hear of Tony's untimely death. I was fortunate to work with him on @classicfm.com 's quiz show 'A Question of Classics'. The unlikely pairing of Tony with Barry Took as team captains was excellent radio. Both men of rare talent now sadly missed. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Tell people you love them. Tell them what about them makes you smile. You never know when they might need to hear it. Or when you will end up appreciating the fact that you did it.

A doodle I did a couple of years ago on the back of an envelope and found again yesterday. No idea what was going on in my head at the time!

I wonder if the people of earth can acknowledge that rich people have won. One nil to them, yay. And then start our game again, share out the pot of money and roll the dice to see who goes first.

I just heard that The Osmonds’ Crazy Horses is about gas guzzling cars? Wtf, why can’t I just have one innocent song about insane horses

Very chilly walk yesterday around Fewston Reservoir near Harrogate. Would also be navigable (I think) on a powered, off roader / v. rugged wheelchair.

The BBC needs to have a debate about whether Musk's outbursts should keep leading the news. This isn't about censoring or suppressing his views; it's about whether to amplify them. Most Brits aren't on X, they don't follow Musk & not every raving from a foreign plutocrat should set the news agenda

Sending love and hope and light to you all as the old year dies and a new world dawns. I am scared for 2025 but love is stronger than evil and it will not be extinguished. May you know the delight of Christ and the comfort of friends and family. May you know that you are loved and you are liked. Xx

The Guardian has named the 80 women murdered this year where a man was charged. One every 3 days. Terrible. So many husbands, boyfriends, even brothers & sons are killers. What is behind this? 2024 is the year I realised I truly do not understand men. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/ng-i...

I’ve decided to start lying to people, a la The Joker, when they see I’m disabled and blurt out “What happened to you?!” Shark bite. Trampled in clown circus. Fought the last person who asked me this.
