@CephasWilliams @56BlackMen Then there is the weird subtext here that playing classical piano is somehow better than for example grime or rap music. But let me just mind my own and go eat me dinner.

@alexelbourne42 @fijianintheuk Don’t believe it. According to her other countries aren’t recording their deaths as accurately. As if you wouldn’t notice if you had nearly 40K excess deaths in any country 😐

Went to @AldiUK for their emergency service shopping hour. Myself and staff shouted at by members of the public for letting me in early (with my ID) so I can shop. This pandemic is honestly bringing out the worst in some of you. Wish I’d stayed in bed tbh 😩

Someone expressed disappointment that I’ve been watching love island. I spend a significant proportion of my time on addressing medical racism. We are in the middle of a global health crisis. It’s often incredibly upsetting . Please allow me this frivolous outlet 🙏🏿

‘Non-gestational mothers are receiving letters informing them that they are being retroactively removed from their children’s birth certificates. New birth certificates are being issued listing the name of only one of the child’s mothers.’

Italy’s Mounting Attack on Lesbian Parents

In January, Italy’s right-wing government ordered state agencies to cease registration of children born to same-sex couples. Now they’ve taken it a step further: a state prosecutor in northern Italy...

What #contraceptionstories reveals is that health professionals aren’t being as clear as possible about side effects and contraceptive counselling is sub par in many cases. We’ve got to do better. It’s a life changing issue and it should be treated as such.

Go tell the Black Brazilians living in the favelas or Black Americans in the Floridia that they are dying of covid due to lack of vitamin D due to lack of sunshine. I dare you. Please just rest with this nonsense. I’m tyad.

There was a 145 day siege of a weapons factory in Leicester that export to Israel and there has been zero media coverage that this has been occurring. The media blackout on Britain’s role in exacerbating this crisis except the empty statements by politicians is terrifying.

#ReclaimTheStreets is a protest. BLM is a protest. The only difference are the people who make up the protest and the language used to describe them.We should all defend the right to peaceful protest & may need to some day.We should all stand against the new policing crime Bill.

A yr ago a women was discharged on a child protection plan with her newborn. Within a few days the baby arrived dead in A&e. People need to wake up because social services are absolutely failing children in this country.The outcomes when they go into care are equally as appalling

The police telling women to flag down a bus is actually so so mad. I’ve been sexually assaulted on public transport three times (groped and indecent exposure) and none of those times did anyone help & on one occasion the bus driver refused to stop the bus to allow me off.

The experiences of Black students at your medical school are so bad that the faculty contacted me to start collecting testimonials. I have receipts . So don’t start this pretence on social media. Go and fix your own problems .

I once had to see a patient whose IUS had fallen out unnoticed and was pregnant with twins at 30 weeks. She’d attended A&E with stomach pains & ultrasound showed a twin pregnancy 💀she took the news very well. I’d have passed out.
