Asylum seekers, housed in hotels in Manchester, are reaching out in their own words to address the concerns of the local community.
Please take a minute to read their letter, & share it with the people in your life who need to hear the truth about the people they are protesting.

So apparently this sock took me about a month to make. It’s a bit roomy because I decided to unilaterally get rid of the ribbing and apparently that is the result but I’m pretty happy with it! #socktober #knitsky

In the US, Barbara’s kidney transplant came with a $100k bill - even with insurance.
She had to crowdfund and remortgage her home.
In the UK, it’s free on the NHS.

Had to unravel the heel turn as I wasn’t 100% happy with it. Knittinghousesquare YouTube video has saved the day I’ve decided I will just always follow that! Very clear instructions @knitsky

Almost made it through 4 nights in Barcelona without being pickpocketed - fortunately all they found was a jumper and a book by Rory Stewart. They could have better taste as the book is quite good!

Excited to be heading next week to #esmoGI and my first time Barcelona also. It also is the week I will return to colorectal practice so a reset and connect with the community is just at the right time!

I worked for Lizzy as her registrar when I came back from mat leave and PhD. Her passion for education and mentorship is infectious and I can’t think of anyone who would be better to lead education at ESMO.

I’m terrible at taking photos but my first day at the @charityammf.bsky.social conference today was fantastic. I don’t know how to express how important it is for patients advocates carers and care providers all being in the room together. I’ve written down a ton of take homes already..

Every time I return library books the librarians look really worried when they tell me the fine amount. It hurts but I just accept now that if I’m going to use the library it’s going to cost me because there is zero chance those books are going back in time

I’m putting it out there- trans women and men deserve better. Forcing people to use toilets that out them and put their physical safety at risk is cruel, wrong and humiliating.

Absolutely spoilt for all things UK UGI cancers this week with a wonderful prog by UKIOG on Monday meeting inc Ash Tokhi and ending with a OGOS in Oxford where I had the pleasure of seeing my former Cambridge colleague surgeon Ayesha Noorani speak. Next week will struggle to top this excitement!

Amazing day at #UKIOG annual conference today catching up with the gastro-oesophageal cancer community. Absolute highlight hearing about enhanced supportive care clinics. Working closely with palliative care colleagues is so essential.
