Dedicated to the memory of ICU nurse Alex Pretti. A nurse's pledge: “I am a nurse. I will not permit consideration of religion, nationality, race, or social standing to intervene between my duty and my patient. I am a nurse. I will maintain the utmost respect for human life. I am a nurse. I make these promises solemnly, freely, and upon my honor. And I will do it again, every day. Every day. Every day. Amen.”

Dedicated to the memory of ICU nurse Alex Pretti, this is a nurse's pledge.

You proud of this America?

Disbelief seems like part of a normal response to a very abnormal situation 💔

My heart breaks for the young people, and their families, who were killed and injured in Crans-Montana, Switzerland.

The footage online is chilling, to say the least.

It says something that so many chose to video than to flee, as the fire took hold. Adds dimensions to the devastation.

"Gaza needs freedom, reconstruction and a genuine chance at life. Without justice and lasting peace, humanitarian aid alone will never be enough."

My personal favourite!
Poor Santa.. though the 'Elf Response Team' (CCO) are on the way!

Our ICU team upping the festive spirit this Christmas 🎄

Little things do so much to bring people together and spread joy!

What an absolute cracker of a Toy Show!
Shout out to the Irish, at home and abroad, who know what I'm talking about. 🇮🇪
Faith in humanity restored.
Children are the future! ✊️

Rebel octogenarian Austrian nuns win reprieve Three rebel nuns in their 80s who made headlines after fleeing their care home to take back their Austrian convent are being allowed to stay in the nunnery "until further notice", church officials hav...

A much-needed story of 'sticking it to the man' and triumphing.

Loving the style of those women 💪

Very proud of this.

Stalinism and Stephen Miller.
Chilling reflection by @timothysnyder.bsky.social

Underestimate this man at the world's peril.

WHAT THE ACTUAL F*CK?

rage rage rage rage rage

So much rage these days.

It's back 🙌

Can't help but notice the more understated approach to memorialising kids slain at school over the years.

To be clear:
Every death to gun violence an absolute tragedy.

#GunViolence #2ndAmendment

Very concerning 😟
It's the soundtrack to our house!

Anyone know what's happened to Radio Paradise?
All quiet this afternoon...

257. The Commission recommends that all Member States: (a) Employ all means reasonably available to them to prevent the commission of genocide in the Gaza Strip; (b) Cease the transfer of arms and other equipment or items, including jet fuel, to the State of Israel or third States where there is reason to suspect their use in military operations that have involved or could involve the commission of genocide; (c) Ensure individuals and corporations in their territories and within their jurisdiction are not involved in the commission of genocide, aiding and assisting the commission of genocide or incitement to commit genocide and investigate and prosecute those who may be implicated in these crimes under international law; (d) Facilitate the investigations and domestic proceedings and take action (including imposing sanctions) against the State of Israel and against individuals or corporations that are involved in or facilitating the commission of genocide or incitement to commit genocide; (e) Cooperate with the investigation of the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court. 258. The Commission recommends that the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court: (a) Examine, within its continuing investigation in the Situation in the State of Palestine, the crime of genocide for amendment to existing arrest warrants and addition to future application for arrest warrants; (b) Examine the involvement of officials mentioned in this report for inclusion as those most responsible for international crimes committed in the occupied Palestinian territory.

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide.

As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire.

End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

Janey!
#TraitorsIrl

Iconic.

The Traitors Ireland.

Terrifying for families.
Horrifying to patients afterwards.

See a lot of feelings of guilt and shame about delirium-driven agitation at our post-ICU clinic.

Mind full, or Mindful?

Today is #MindfulnessDay so take time to just pause, breathe and be here right now 🙏

A not-so-gentle reminder of why I'm not going back to Tw*tter.

For f*cks sake.

Perhaps another time.
Wishing you well.

Likely the latter predominantly.. perhaps

I think they say what we all know, and what's reported on, but confronts us with it in a way that just can't be denied; highlights the impossibly of the situation for the Gazans and delivers that reality straight to us in all it's grotesque absurdity.
