I am so chuffed to be able to share our paper. It explores narratives of those frequently overlooked by researchers when assessing opinions & concerns on health-data sharing. Thanks to co-authors @Menzwa and @murtagh_mj, and all the research participants. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.…
@discord_support I have just created a new account for a work related project. I got a new account and tried to join the server and kept getting error messages. Then I tried logging in on the app and got an email to say Discord has disabled my account. How can this be resolved?
Can you advise or help, @discord_support? I don't understand how the account could have been disabled for going against certain rules when I hadn't even successfully joined a single server let alone post anything.
Happy to march with you, happy to vote for you!
Loud & Proud haha, yes, this is me, chanting 'whose uni' during our recent (won!) dispute. But if you want, you could also hear 'whose union, our union'! When we stand together, we stand strong. So when you get your ballot, you get to vote for me! ucu.org.uk/article/14110/Dr-…

What a day, strikes begun, over 400 people on our pickets. So many students ✊✊✊

I am winding down my use of this platform, with the aim of leaving altogether.
Instead I will be over at Bluesky & you can find me @stephmulrine.bsky.social

In response to my column, a charity told me about their vital fundraising to help disabled people in Gaza. They provide anything from wheelchairs to physio support. The demand is staggering and all help greatly appreciated.

“I do not know exactly when “self-defence” began to involve blowing off children’s limbs. Perhaps it was around the time journalists could be killed with impunity. Or when a school became a fair military target.”

On Saturday, I received a letter from the DWP telling my partner about changes to Winter Fuel Payment.
My partner died on Thursday 19th September. I informed the DWP of his death on Friday 27th September using the online "Tell Us Once" service. 1/

Job coaches sent to mental health wards is clearly obscene but it’s the natural end point of an agenda that equates health with productivity. If you believe humans are only valuable when they earn a wage, the NHS is a tool - not to help patients - but to get them back to work.
ALT Job coaches could visit seriously ill patients on mental health wards to try to get them back to work, the government has said. Trials of employment advisers giving CV and interview advice in hospitals produced "dramatic results", Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall told the BBC.

STOP using the “v” word about us, it’s way past time to know that’s not acceptable
Stop referring to disabled people as “vulnerable”There is nothing inherently ‘vulnerable’ about us, it is society that makes us vulnerable by failing to value & include us

Labour might want to think about the fact that the first thing it's doing about disabled people is debate whether the state should be allowed to help us die
