#addenbrookes #cancer the one thing that is really clear is how useless the hospital is on nutrition and helping people who are struggling with eating.

Such a moving image. It shows Viktor Korchnoi playing @PelletierChess - I think, at the Swiss Championship in July of 2012. Sitting nearby is Korchnoi's wife and companion of many years, Petra Leeuwerik. (I have been unable to establish who took this picture.) #chess

#Addenbrookes #cancer my wife is still in hospital fighting hard but so tough. The nurses are great but the wards she has been in are just awful. Not the way to die.

#Addenbrookes #oncology My wife is so popular that when she came into the hospital she suddenly had 10 doctors and nurses around her (rapid response team, in case you miss the point here)

Sad story of depression I came across. I hope her book helps people survive life which can be terribly hard for young people. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c15p…

I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki - why I fell in love with this book

In reflecting on a gentle melancholy many can relate to, this book teaches us to appreciate the small joys in life.

Women have every right to meet, discuss, and advocate on issues that matter to them without intimidation or disruption. It’s deeply concerning when lawful gatherings of women are treated as “provocative.” The right to free assembly and expression must be upheld equally.

Events that inflame division and create tension should be guarded against and @BrightonHoveCC needs better policies for which events it will host in our council-owned venues. The choice of Brighton was clearly provocative from organisers and the problems caused predictable.

So here we have the Green MP for Brighton Pavilion (she/her) Basically saying that the Brighton Centre deserved to have its windows spray painted and smashed up because they let women hold a conference there. How the hell have we got to this point? #FiLiA2025
