Good morning, welcome to Daily Thread number 465 covering #Ukraine's heroic defence against #Russia's illegal aggression.
I've been here from (before) the start of war, reporting on (sometimes from) a country I've loved, worked + lectured in many, many times.
Overnight was quiet

This week, @scotgovhealth published findings from an analysis of surveys issued to NHS Health Boards in Autumn 2022, to understand existing support for #pwME (or lack of, as we would argue) and implementation of the 2021 NICE guideline.

Pleased to see the publication of the report, & the acknowledgement that the survey was a direct result of #MEAction Scotland's meeting with the then Cabinet Secretary for Health, @HumzaYousaf.
We'll be calling on @MathesonMichael & @jenni_minto to take this work forward. [2/4]

Disappointing to see that 4 Health Boards chose not to respond - @NHSHighland, the largest Board geographically, @NHS_Lothian, one of few identified as having a specific support pathway, @NHSaaa & @NHSGrampian. Also, not all of the 10 who did respond answered all questions.

a military tech firm supplying war robots to #Ukraine, that has ties to the MoD, and whose biggest shareholder is a Tory donor who gave £1m to Boris Johnson, is about to support a US-NATO military exercise in #Scotland you say...? surely this is some kind of mistake...?
well no, no mistake - it's just the global arms industry and its lapdogs in government functioning as they always do - killing people for profit (except in #Ukraine it's not majority Black or Brown people they're killing for a change)
of course, QinetiQ is even closer to government than that- as defence secretary Ben Wallace used to work for them (just like countless defence secretaries before him either worked for, or end up working for, private military companies)

The “Other causes” category also includes deaths which
have an unascertained cause whilst being investigated by the Procurator Fiscal

In 1930 he left the Army and worked as an editor of a Nairobi newspaper, a model, and a movie extra, he even participated to the 1939 bow World Championship representing Britain (2/16)
In 1940 Jack felt the call of duty and re-joined the Army becoming the second in command of an infantry platoon. Everything fine, if it wasn’t for the fact that Mad Jack always marched into battle with bow, arrows and his trusty basket-hilted claymore by his side (3/16)

Very nice chap sharing a room with my family. Married to a Polish lady. Widely travelled. We chat about the world.

#WomensHistoryMonth #Scotland #Ayrshire
Betsy was the eldest of 10 children, born and bred in Saltcoats on the Ayrshire coast at the end of the 18th century.
Her father was a successful merchant and captain, but while seafaring was in her blood, it was her brother who was destined to take over the family business.
Her father was a successful merchant and captain, but while seafaring was in her blood, it was her brother who was destined to take over the family business.
Betsy had a quiet job in the office, getting out on the waves whenever she had the chance.
In 1833, tragedy struck when her brother passed away, leaving the family and crew leaderless and with debts to pay.
Fortunately Betsy stepped up to the mark and took the helm.

Say you’re the boss of a company with 100 employees. You let the staff vote on whether the firm should move to a new location.
▪ 37 staff voted yes,
▪ 35 staff voted no,
▪ 28 didn’t vote (many staff weren’t sure)

Such an epic protest outside the Scottish Parliament today. Standing for truth in unity and making a difference. We the people of Scotland have had enough of all the nonsense the Scottish government is doing - it's ruining our nation..
..it's ruining our generation and it will ruin the future generations. People need to awake to the truth and not to be deceived by these people. What they are doing is evil and it's abuse.
They need to stop indoctrinating the Children, stop the lies about gender and identity..
They need to stop indoctrinating the Children, stop the lies about gender and identity..

Another reason why I should leave San Francisco is the fact that I have fought every day for this city and rarely ever is there any support or team work. Whenever I walk through San Francisco I only ever see @bettersoma , @mattdorsey and Mr. J J in the trenches on the frontlines.
People complain every day but don’t ever do anything about it. It makes everything seem pointless. @michelletandler talks about fentanyl. When is she going to talk about our fentanyl emergency petition that has almost 1000 signatures? It takes two seconds to share petition.
I love @GMcDee2 @JacquiBerlinn because they aren’t picking and choosing what is “cool” to support. They support everything that is dedicated to combating fentanyl. They not only do their own fighting but they also support other people fights instead of picking what is “cool.”
These big, beautiful lumps are the Paps of Jura, on (unsurprisingly) the Isle of Jura in the Inner Hebrides.
Jura's conical hills are closely associated with the Cailleach, Scotland's Winter Goddess and right now much of the country is stuck in her icy grip.

The Cailleach is an ancient, giant, blue hag with one big eye and dark, red teeth.
She rides out each year from her home atop Ben Nevis with eight companions to spread winter around Scotland with a frosty hammer.
Jura is said to be one of the first stops on her annual journey.

She journeys to the north end of the island and washes her great plaid in the Corryvreckan Whirlpool.
It's one of the largest natural whirlpools in the world and the roar can be heard up to 20 miles away.
