Friend called ambulance after fall. None free. Paramedics came, said he needed hospital, ordered him a taxi to King's. He found A&E ... EMPTY. No staff. Told to return at start of next shift, 6AM.

NHS on knees after 12 Tory years. General election now.

I created this to celebrate #Walthamstow's greatest contribution to the world - Soft-Ply #ToiletRoll. It's on display for one more week at The Mill for their Made in Walthamstow exhibition #embroidery #TextileArt

Die #Moose als ein zusammenfassendes Taxon (wie bspw. Farne) gibt es eigentlich nicht. Es ist ein loser Überbegriff in dem die drei unabhängigen Moosstämme der Horn-, Leber- und Laubmoose zusammengefasst werden. Die kleinste Gruppe von ihnen sind die #Hornmoose (#Anthocerotophyta) mit nur 6 Arten in Deutschland. Sie besitzen einen Thallus aus dem hornartige Sporenträger wachsen. Man findet sie häufig auch herbstlichen Stoppeläckern. 🔍 #Bryologie #Bryology #mosstodon

and inability to mend things quickly led me to wear a nice skirt to work today, even though I had torn it on the wheelbarrow. Two safety pins held it together. I will mend it eventually. :autumnleaf2:

Because I'm on a German server my trending topics are #keinVergessen and #niemalsVergessen. This is because 9 November is the anniversary of Kristallnacht.

These brass plates in the pavements memorialise Jewish people at what were their addresses. I saw this one in Berlin in the spring. #NeverForget

This is Ava. I'm on sabbatical this semester, working on my book, and she has made it her job to supervise me. Every morning when I tell her it's time to go work, she delighted runs upstairs and lies down on the bed next to my little writing desk, where she alternates between napping and listening attentively to what I've written. So far she's only given me a few judgmental head tilts, so I think we're making good progress. 😅

Excess death rates were already higher among Republicans before vaccines came online, possibly due to red states taking a more lax stance on social distancing etc, but once vaccines came on line, the gap widened dramatically 📈

And to be clear, this is after adjusting for age, so it can’t be explained by Republicans simply being older on average. This is the result of a party and its voters turning away from science
