I don’t know if my mind is warped by having worked with vulnerable children but it is not that uncommon for parents to be the problem, to be abusive how will this safeguard those children whose parents are abusers?
Performing the Rabbit God from @queercomrades.bsky.social madeinchinajournal.com/2026/02/19/p... Interesting read especially during #LGBTQHistoryMonth #LGBT+HistoryMonth #QueerSky
(Audio) book 5 of 2026 #FleshAndBlood by #PatriciaCornwell book 22 of the #Scarpetta series #Booksky
I’m sure the series makes plenty of money for the BBC it’s is being shown internationally, perhaps in long run it helps fund less commercial content
This scene in #TheNightManager had such a strong echo of my memory of #YTuMamáTambién
@bryaneragarner.bsky.social Divided by language was interesting but College here more commonly means a Further Education College 16+ students only very few universities have colleges. And Mom is used in preference to mum in the midlands of England
I always find that Yvonne's story connects so well with Student Doctors when we are talking about HIV and medical humanities vimeo.com/showcase/854.... Thanks to @nathanieljhall.bsky.social for the HIV+Me series.
Did you know that stopping infections today can prevent cancer tomorrow?
1 in 10 cancer cases are caused by infections. But many of these cancers are totally preventable through vaccines, antibiotics and early treatment.

The RCPsych consulted members widely an produced a thoughtful position statement, 45% support a change in the law but there are real concerns with this law . Psychiatrists are often involved with the most complex capacity assessments. (www.rcpsych.ac.uk/docs/default...
When the commons has so effectively ignored the large range of professional bodies with serious concerns about the bill what else do you expect the lords who are listening to genuine concerns to do?
Brilliant podcast from @rteone.rte.ie podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/d.... Explores some Irish people who were slave owners & traders, honestly feel this is often ignored as focus is on Ireland being colonised. 22 families were compensated upon emancipation in Galway alone! #HistorySky

UK child poverty up 34% in a decade.
Families can't afford the cost of food, rent, childcare, heating, essentials.
72% of poor children live in working families.
Secure jobs, universal basic income/services, curbs on profiteering, free school meals would help.
Must eradicate parental poverty.
✊ We strongly welcome the Scottish Human Rights Commission's (SHRC) call for reparations for Scotland's Nawken (Gypsy/Travellers) community, whose people were subjected to decades ongoing harm under policies known as the ‘Tinker Experiment’, including forced assimilation and child removal. (1/3)
It’s truly a difficult situation. I think many people who have had nice lives are pretty green and don’t understand that the monitor may be an abusive parent.

#Amnesia - the politician's cover. I don't believe #MichaelHoward, former leader @conservatives.bsky.social, when he says he can't remember the letter warning that #privatisation of the #water industry could be put at risk if details of the mass poisoning became public knowledge.
Very good doc on the costs of water privatisation: Thatcherite dogma to produce the only privatised water in the world. The Cornwall water scandal saw 20,000 people poisoned as they cut-costs pre-sell-off & then covered it up to aid privatisation. #PoisonWater

Amazing he continued in such high office I’d never heard of this before they’ve done well keeping it quiet
I also can’t help but think if this was dramatisated like #MrBatesvsThePostOffice it would raise awareness even further. #Water #Privatisation #Coverup
#PoisonWater tells the story of the #CamelfordWaterIncident, when aluminium sulfate contaminated the supply.
#SouthWestWater told people it was safe to drink!
