One neurosurgeon, 8 million patients Alieu Kamara is the first and only neurosurgeon in Sierra Leone. "Before Dr. Kamara, there was no hope," said professor Kehinde Oluwadiya of the University of Sierra Leone Teaching Hospital Complex.

Global health inequity looks like this 👇🏽

When one neurosurgeon is responsible for a whole nation’s neuro surgical problems, I see a hero but also injustice

People deserve more, as does Dr Kamara

'I have to shower at the gym' - disabled people waiting for simple home changes The time taken for councils to do home adaptation assessments for elderly and disabled people has risen, the BBC finds.

This disabled woman has waited months for simple adaptations so she can wash in her own bathroom. But the NHS can facilitate her medically-assisted suicide in only 3 weeks, if Kim Leadbeater’s #AssistedDying Bill becomes law. Help us to live, not die.

The world's richest man - perhaps the richest man who has ever lived - gloating about shutting down aid for the world's poorest people. All while posing as the champion of the common man.

The great lie of populism in its most naked and morally putrid form.

The Young, Inexperienced Engineers Aiding Elon Musk's Government Takeover Engineers between 19 and 24, most linked to Musk’s companies, are playing a key role as he seizes control of federal infrastructure.

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran.

Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

This game has been the absolute nuts! #StayHumble

As Jan was a massive bust due to various, imma starting February as I mean to carry on.

Yep, they are even more petty when riled, even when they are at fault! Been the same for years.

Trump spots a government official who is not a white man

Just been talking about that. It's vengeful bollocks, the petty bag of slags.

An early version of whole man disposal!

Hiya Darren 😊

Very sorry to see this. She was a powerful voice & I'm sorry she has gone.

Dorothy Allison, Author of ‘Bastard Out of Carolina,’ Dies at 75 (Gift Article) She wrote lovingly and often hilariously about her harrowing childhood in a working-class Southern family, as well as about the violence and incest she suffered.

The luminary Dorothy Allison died last November -she will be greatly missed. Thank you to her for the mark she left, definitely get your hands on her book Skin (copies still about secondhand) whilst you can.

A fluffy dark brown cat is curled up sleeping on a grey jumper. One arm is curled over her cheek. One fang is visible on the side of her gently parted mouth. That is the reason for this photo.

Please note the fang. #ImportantContent #CatsOfBluesky

My patented New Year’s Eve fondue served in a kitsch Dutch fondue set I bought whilst delayed at Schiphol for the hundredth time when I worked in sales in another lifetime

There’s only one way through this.

Oops. I seem to have confused “make a few nice things for tonight” with “batch-bake enough pastry to open a branch of Gregg’s”.

I was talking about the wisdom of keeping cats away from a Lemarchand box the other night. & here we are!

A square tin, fresh out of the oven containing a golden dark yorkshire pudding which resembles a lunar landscape.

Best thing on my dinner plate. Essentially a thick pancake deep fried in beef fat. Melts in the mouth, no lie & no one mention arteries. #YesPlease

Am I the only one to see a contradiction between a NHS overwhelmed with respiratory infections and JCVI’s decision (based on their “bespoke” economic evaluation) to recommend very limited eligibility for COVID vaccines? #FalseEconomy

All rightie then. The laptop works, the internet's on, and no lights are flashing in my eyes. We're gonna do something easy, #JewelWatch, a thread of things that stand out in my mind as cool or amazing or funny.

For instance, earrings from DeGrisogono.
