I'm not being funny, no #realtalk, I really am NOT being #funny⁉️
How is it, #WomenTalking #blackwomendatingwhitemen #WhiteWomenBlackMen I really don't @CAREGlobal what colour of your #skinsuit is lady, just that @FullFact @factcheckdotorg
@FactCheckIndia that you are all no different than any other of us @TwitterParents to see a @GrievingMothers screams for a #helpinghand to be seen beneath #HumanRights as the #lies that are still pouring out of #MarkRowley's mouth that he has to read word to word from a scrip
because coming out of #retired that means #braindead as whoever is #socialmediamanager floods #TwitterFiles with #NicolaBulley, this I also find really sad, so so sad for those who like poor #MollyRussell and those who mare reaching out for @CruseSupport as a senior

Wee bit of a headache, was able to do some mindfulness this morning got through the most I've done since this started.

Tongue is back to being swollen, I'm a bit slow on the uptake today. Memory game - got more of the fours right, none of the six.

It is difficult for me to explain my accident; if you know gym racks 😆 I sustained a concussion and whiplash when I accidently initiated a movement with my legs instead of my shoulders and drove my
head into a three-bar pull up rack (wasn’t a dirty south bar).
The picture 👆 was about five hours after I did it. Not bad eh?!

I spent yesterday & last night in the ER. I've been sick for 2 weeks with - RAT & PCR.
Though my Covid test was negative, they said I may have one of the new strains not showing up on tests. 6 diff docs who treated me last night said they'd seen lots of this happening recently.

Haven't left my home in weeks.
My partner was most likely asymptomatic & gave it to me after attending an outdoor event.
He masked & quarantined in another part of the house. It wasn't enough.

After virtual consult, was advised to hang up & dial 911 to be rushed to ER. My partner took me but was unable to stay with me.

I’d like to tell you about a little boy called Connor Wellsted. I spoke to one of his foster parents, Shazia @truth4connor and she told me about Connor, his life, and what is understood about his death @Childrens_Trust aged just 5, now his inquest is finally complete.

Connor was born in April 2012 in Sheffield, he was born prematurely and acquired a brain injury shortly after birth following a cardiorespiratory arrest which starved his brain of oxygen.
Connor lived with significant disabilities, but he was loved, and enjoyed life.

1) I just watched the documentary @cureddoc, about the past pathologization of #homosexuality by @APApsychiatric, its harmful stigmatization and treatments such as #ECT and #lobotomy, and the efforts that led to overturning the classification of being #gay as a #mentaldisorder.
2) @cureddoc is very good, but there is at least one false and misleading statement. At 1:12:11, near the end, text states, “#ECT continues as a treatment for severe forms of depression – with the consent of patients and effective results for many people.” Forced ECT still real.
3) @cureddoc #ECT is still often done without consent of the patient, many patients who did sign for it have later said they did not feel they were given proper informed consent, and many patients report long-term cognitive impairment, as well psychological trauma. #psychiatry

@US_FDA approved the #Qcollar jugular compression device to "protect athletes' brains during head impacts."
This decision was based on VERY FLAWED DATA and does NOT demonstrate the safety or effectiveness of the Q-collar.

Here is the text from the @FDADeviceInfo press release.
If you don't understand the highly nuanced #MRI technique known as DTI, these results sound straightforward and convincing.
THEY ARE NOT. Don't be fooled by these numbers!🤔
I will dissect these in the thread below.

"No significant changes" is based AVERAGE response, not individual.
First, an easy-to-understand analogy below.
If half the sample experiences an increase and half experiences a decrease, they can cancel each other out to falsely suggest "no change" when one does exists!
