I would normally not have batted an eye at this paper

But it’s by Robert Hahn, and is a nice overview of everything we know about fluid redistribution in the critically unwell- including gel phase, some glycocalyx stuff, 3 compartment models, and albumin escape rates

Fantastic! Great to see them speaking up and saying what we all know is true.

This is simply Reform propaganda straight from the BBC

Five survivors of Rotherham grooming gangs say they were also raped by police officers Three former South Yorkshire police officers arrested in investigation into claims by the women, as young as 12 at the time

God, the number of people who were willing to believe that the South Yorkshire police were too woke to prosecute sexual abuse cases, when in fact the police force was itself an instrument of patriarchal sexual violence. It’s like a case study in the worst excesses of the British press.

Q: There are many people who fit the criteria of fleeing persecution. Afghans for example. But they're being denied refugee status. So why such an exception for the Afrikaners?

TRUMP ADMIN OFFICIAL: One of the criteria is making sure they can be assimilated easily into our country

That’s some blue sky thinking right there

Genuinely cackling at the idea of some cyberman putting in a venflon and doing the ‘here’s some lovely fresh air’ chat pre-sleepytime

But hey, gassers seem to be replaceable in this brave new AI world

There seems to be a very particular form of antipathy directed toward autistic women and girls diagnosed c/ lower support needs

A narrative that we’re ‘attention seeking’ from a need to feel ‘specia’- which feels rooted in misogyny

The desire to silence women’s voices and experiences rumbles on

One thing you notice about anti-feminism is that its public discourses are all about erecting a fantasy of men’s victimization that is clung to all the more desperately and insistently the more it contradicts the actual facts. So the more women are hurt, the more we’re told that men are suffering.

A SHORT POEM FOR STAR WARS DAY

Her name was Yoda,
A showgirl she was.

“I think?” Autistic woman prefaces highly specific knowledge to sound less weird An autistic woman has honed the art of looking normal - despite having a near-encyclopaedic knowledge of all three Bridget Jones films, it has been rumoured. Ellie Mulligan, 34, knows extensive charac...

“I’ll go for a ‘maybe?’ and ‘or something’, after a pause,” Mulligan explains. “Even though I come out with random and weirdly particular facts throughout the duration of the film, it surely signals I have a merely healthy interest in the subject. They will never know.”

Are there more autistic people now? Why is the number of autism diagnoses changing? And what does it mean for autistic people?

Key point- incr nos of people being diagnosed autistic doesn’t necessarily mean incr nos of autistic ppl

Women + people of colour don’t always fit the prevailing image and may not be referred for assessment

But there is a strong moral panic around Dx rates atm

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a condition that affects people with severe breathing problems.

A new paper in @lancetrespirmed.bsky.social looks to refine the definition of ARDS and explores avenues to improve current understanding and treatment options: tinyurl.com/yc3avnf4

Gender critical activists broadening their focus post SC judgment in single sex spaces

Now its male mammographers for breast screening

Here is Janice Turner saying breast are ‘intrinsic to female self-esteem, the locus of male desire’

How utterly regressive and backward-thinking is this 💩?

Helloooo The Times, do you not mean Kneecap rap in Irish, which will not be understood by people who do not understand Irish?

The framing used in article designed to whip up moral panic is fascinating isnt it

there are, in fact, a ton of positive role models for masculinity out there and if teenage boys choose the whiniest and most hate-filled versions that's at least somewhat on them

3) Moving right on immigration normalizes the radical right, their positions and rhetoric. Normalization is a key precondition for electoral expansion of the radical right. Programmatic accommodation and collaboration normalize the radical right and open new segments of the electorate for it.

Really looking forward to this opening plenary - Prof Rockwood himself!

So much talk right now about ‘protecting’ women
So little talk right now about women’s rights

So by advertising you’re a married father of four you’re fulfilling gendered expectations and making to clear you’re here to provide for family

The same as a mother? You’re violating the maternal role

Motherhood penalty vs fatherhood bonus

Father = man who should provide for his family therefore it is right he should be at work and seek tougher roles/promotion

Mother = woman who should care for her family therefore it is wrong for her to be at work and seek tougher roles/promotion

🧵In March I wrote about how Trump's attacks on science & universities followed the authoritarian playbook & set out Qs as warning signs for escalation.

🚨 THESE ARE NOW HAPPENING

This 🧵is on how those warning sign Qs have been realised

Thank you so much to @survivinginscrubs.bsky.social for asking me to talk about Benevolent Sexism tonight online
Very much enjoyed plugging the work of the great @katemanne.bsky.social - read her work, everyone!!

SCARY THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: This person gets to vote

This is deep sarcasm btw for those in doubt

Gender critical = gender essentialist = a step *back* for women’s rights

In our brave new gender critical world, let’s focus on marking language with gender as much as possible especially if it reminds people how attractive and appealing female things should be

What a step forward!

When you remember the historical connection between ‘autism’ research & murder of people considered ‘different’ - this ‘government list’ becomes more ominous.
Especially when proposed by those who consider empathy as a bad trait.

I’ve noticed there seem to be more anaesthesia/ICM men using Bluesky than women in anaesthesia/ICM.

So naturally, I’ve created a starter pack for women in anaesthesia & ICM #womeninanaesthesia
