I was diagnosed with #HIV in 1998, when I was 30.
At the time, I did not expect to live to 50.
I’m 55 now.
HIV treatment works and it means I can’t pass it on - we call this #UequalsU.
HIV changed. Tell everyone.

On strike, again. Continued cuts to pension and year-on-year cuts to real terms pay are just not fair, particularly for my junior colleagues. The workload has become unsustainable. Something needs to change. #ucuRISING
Beautiful vista of a butte and the Gediz Vallis Ridge beyond on Mars. This is the beginning portion of a wide panorama taken by the Mars Curiosity Rover on Sol 3658 a few sols ago.

10 Downing Street has now commented on the issue of Welsh rainbow bucket hats being confiscated in Qatar.

@ElisabethBik that's blatant. They haven't even tried to hide it. They could have shifted them or rotated at least...
