NHS, heart treatment waiting lists
"The number of patients with serious heart problems forced to wait more than 18 weeks for care has risen fivefold since Covid struck"
"Likely factors include “severe cardiac staff shortages” in the NHS, the ageing population and widening health inequalities"
And heart damage from covid, one might expect? But no mention of _that_ possibility!
Covid probably killed or disabled some of the heart experts as well.

“anyone over 40-ish uses it in the first sense, and anyone under 40-ish uses it in the second sense..."
How interesting. I’m over 40 but I’ve always used it in the second sense. I’d never heard it defined in the first sense before. Anyone else? https://mastodon.au/@wendypalmer/11225

Attached: 1 image Speaking of favourite words, look what language change has done to "nonplussed". I think it was probably 20 years ago when I first saw it used in the second sense in a print book, which meant a whole chain of people agreed on its meaning...I was quite nonplussed at the time... These days I avoid using it in my books because I'm guessing anyone over 40-ish uses it in the first sense, and anyone under 40-ish uses it in the second sense, and the meanings are so very opposite t…

Creating safety so that people are not harmed by mistakes also extends to inclusive leadership!
When I came out many years ago, my mother said that she really liked that their PFLAG facilitator told them it was okay to make mistakes and accidentally say hurtful things about queer people as long as they learn their mistakes and apologize.
I told my mother that was a great idea, and that I was glad she had someone she could ask offensive questions so that I'm not hurt by her learning process!
That wasn't the response she wanted, but it was the explanation she needed. It's not that you must censor yourself to avoid ever saying hurtful things to queer folks, but that when you're early in your inclusion journey, maybe you should save those questions for someone who won't be hurt by them. There's a lot of you and not a lot of us, and I'm kind of tired of Queer 101.
