Perplexed by comparisons w Sally Rooney whose characters hers don’t resemble at all; more like Elif Batuman

I hope people are taking advantage of this amazing offer from Rutgers University Press: free book downloads related to abortion/reproductive history. I just downloaded a bunch of books and it was super easy:

Absolutely speechless that the health minister for Wales said this to two incurable breast cancer patients. Because of course cancer is all our faults. The words you used within the context of the room is going to haunt your career!! As it should.

Appalling lack of empathy & education about

Patient blaming is not acceptance & I hope Eluned Morgan you never have to face cancer or have a loved one face cancer as saying “it’s your fault” is totally unacceptable METUPUK Oncology Forum UK ESMO - Eur. Oncology

This is disgraceful. Where’s the duty of care and Philppa’s right to live with dignity? Paralysis from Stage 4 cancer does not mean being written off! Taking away her carers and the little freedom she has is cruel and demeaning. The very reason why Pls RT!

Can you imagine this being your life or that of a loved one? Paralysed due to terminal breast cancer and yet the care funding will be stopped. What a shit shower of a political football our health system is.

An excellent podcast on Soviet aid to West Africa (I may be a little biased). Listen when/where ever you like, that's the beauty of podcasts!
