I haven’t made my mind up yet but I’m highly likely to leave Twitter in the New Year and move to Bluesky. We can’t keep propping up this toxic platform of misinformation.
1. A few days ago, I wrote a thread about the pros and cons of staying on this platform and asked for your views. They were very helpful. As a result, I’ve decided to stop using X from January 20. Already I’m mostly posting now on BlueSky (@georgemonbiot.bsky.social) instead.🧵

A good thread. I’d love to see a more detailed level of the data for my own eyes but @SethAbramson rational is worth listening to and considering. It’s also important for learning as a fixed view on a “stolen” election potentially limits learning and future repeats in poor GOTV.
(🧵) The 2024 U.S. presidential election was *not* stolen: a THREAD.
RETWEET for anyone in your life going down this road.

Even when I know about the red wave and Trump is likely to be ahead at this stage…waking up to the red wave and seeing percentage slips in blue urban areas does not start your day off positively. All eyes on #pennslyvania at this point.

My ballot was sent weeks ago as another @KamalaHarris and @Tim_Walz North Carolina vote from a US citizen abroad. I took the week off to nervously watch the returns. 🤞💪🇺🇸 #freedom #WomenVote #womenforharris @DemsAbroad @votersabroad
Unfortunately I had a syncope episode this morning so in the ER for 6 hours, now. Positive side, have had some great convos w/ nurses who aren’t getting breaks because too high demand. You can’t take care of me & other patients if you don’t take care of yourself #AlwaysOrganising

It blows my mind this where we are at, as a country. This is a defining moment of voting democracy vs hate.

Immigrants welcome in #hastings No fascist here yet but people of Hastings are showing up in numbers to say not in our backyard! We’ve got you sisters and brothers of colour 💜
Day 4 of no water, I dream of washing my hands, showering and flushing the toilet. But in all seriousness, I worry about the medical facilities, care homes and businesses that need it to survive. We’re only 4 months into the year, what’s still to come from @SouthernWater 🤦♀️💩🤢
Hastings own Keith Leech @SkyNews : “This year Southern Water have managed to close our beach because of sewage, they have flooded our town centre, and now they’ve cut off from water on our biggest weekend of the year”
Here’s hoping the water comes back today🙏🏻🚰

I’m not one to follow the royals but this season of #WhereIsKate is off the hook, can’t wait for the season finale 🙈🙉🙊 #PopcornReady
Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing. I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused. I hope everyone celebrating had a very happy Mother’s Day. C

Members share....knowing patients are looked after and having a fully staffed shift are key to having a good shift. What does a good shift look like for you? #SafeStaffingSavesLives #CorridorCare

Members share... Corridor care is becoming the norm and forcing @theRCN members to choose the LEAST WORST choice. This is not good patient care. #SafeStaffingSavesLives #CorridorCare

A year ago the UK nursing profession found their collective voice. On the picket lines we shared stories, made new friendships & took the 1st steps together to fight for #patients & the nursing profession. Nursing won’t go back! We will organise! We will fight for Safe Staffing!
Great discussion around what’s next following the @theRCN safe staffing summit. A principle agreement that a patient safety standard of minimum ratios for RNs is needed with the RCN and chief nurses to empower members and lead the way. 💪
Amazing day 1 with so many conversations around minimum standards to ensure patient care.
Today, we're excited to be hosting our safe staffing summit, bringing together nursing leaders from across the UK to talk about nurse-to-patient ratios.
We’ll be hearing from international nurse staffing experts and global nursing associations who’ve implemented ratios to find out what impact they’ve had and how they could help improve patient outcomes here.
ALT Dark blue background. In white text it reads 'Nurse : Patient'. In grey text it reads 'The international case for ratios'. There is a pink line underscoring the text. RCN logo in white top right corner.
