Got to admire @ChronicImages zine in person today. A beautiful object pointing towards a number of ways of rethinking our conception of organ transplantation.

Thinking of those still #Shielding as I head to teach medical students about #OrganTransplants #LivedExperience #Fiction In 2001 Varela was talking about masks & heightened risks. He didn’t live to see how society would choose to lock recipients away. So many #StillShielding
Thank you and special mention to @MHippogriffVert for the lift and taxi to the #Evusheld Vigil earlier today! 😘 Made it much safer than 1hr and half train and tube. Wonderful to chat to someone else who is #CEV and understands the complexity of our situation. #Forgotten500k
I spent 5 weeks in hospital recovering from #covid19 after my heart transplant. The @nhsuk saved my life again. Immuno compromised people need all the protection they can get. Fund #Evusheld and protect the #Forgotten500k @SteveBarclay @RishiSunak @DHSCgovuk

There are lots of scary things going on in the world these days, but I enjoyed making this #MonsterTalks #Halloween podcast with @transplanttalks. We talk about the wonderful novel #TheGalaxyAndTheGroundWithin, and how to make room for differences and grow communities.
