In light of recent events, I am posting over on Bluesky rather than here. I'd love to see you there 💕
I’ve just joined the butterfly app in the hope it’s more like the Twitter I used to love. You can find me here… bsky.app/profile/thebedpostb…

Today we launch the APPG for Eating Disorders Report. A call for urgent national action to address barriers in treatment, underfunded services, and a postcode lottery in care. We need comprehensive reform to ensure timely, evidence-based care for all.

Donald Trump, a self-confessed sexual assaulter, being named Time's Person of the Year over Gisele Pelicot, who was drugged & raped by her husband & 100 men for YEARS, and who waived anonymity to change the world for women, shows you exactly why women are rightly fucking ANGRY.

Proud to give evidence to the APPG on Eating Disorders this morning alongside @sensinglorna, Kerrie from @Orri_UK, and Michelle from ARFID Life UK.
It was great to see underrepresented ED highlighted, and the APPG members’ determination to improve the lives of people with ED.
Powerful evidence session this morning including a powerful story and evidence from @bed_blog

He didn’t ‘engage in sordid sex’ - he raped her!
Rapist who abused unconscious Gisele Pelicot got his partner to drop him off and wait in the car while he engaged in sordid sex: Victim will today give her verdict on evidence heard so far as trial continues trib.al/hshmYkL
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This term “sordid sex” implies that there was consent.
We all know this is a blatant lie, and Mme Pelicot was drugged unconscious and raped.
Journalists and the mainstream media should be reporting facts, not whimsical notions that imply innocence of male rapists.

It truly does challenge perspectives in a sensitive and highly creative way.

What an amazing day at #edmd2024
It's easy to share my story on such a supportive forum. Despite the heavy subject matter, I found it uplifting to to hear so many voices which are often overlooked or ignored.
Sharon @body_blog , thanks for supporting others through your story of lived #eatingdisorders experience @ #edmd2024 Great working with you as part of team @drchuks_
Better late than never!
Finally on a train to London for #edmd2024
