You watch her face as he takes it in his hands, waiting for her to reject him. Knuckles white, you stand. How can she do this to you? You fight the urge to call out, to dive between them, to end this painful #kiss. She looks over & raises an eyebrow. You are broken. #vss365 – at Ventnor, England

Suzi Cat has been with me for just over a month now. She's settled well, adjusting easily to her new life as an indoor cat. We have our routines; Dreamies and cuddles at bedtime, and she's taken to sleeping beside me at night. #CatsOfTwitter #BlackCats #MatureMoggies

This is the most constructive call-out of elon's travesty so far. Nice work WWF! Donation on its way. #DoItOutOfSpite #thursdaymorning – at Totland, England
Twitter's iconic bird isn't the only one disappearing. 38 million birds have vanished from UK skies in the last 50 years. But there is hope. Support WWF today and together we can bring our world back to life.

😮 Did you know that many people have the potential to control or partially manage seizure frequency and severity through lifestyle changes?! Making changes can be hard to accept. Sometimes it can feel like choosing between: 1/ #epilepsy

Here's another reminder that @X suspended @TorieRobinson10, an epilepsy advocate whose sole purpose is to raise awareness for the estimated 65 MILLION people worldwide who have #Epilepsy. We humbly request that her account be reinstated.

Ewan Duff embarks on a heartfelt 73-mile journey along Hadrian's Wall in just 24 hours to raise awareness about SUDEP after his partner, Rachel, suddenly passed away from epilepsy. Let's join Ewan and spread the word about SUDEP. 💜 bit.ly/3KyHjR7 #epilepsyawareness

B4 I cld kid myself @X was happening elsewhere. Then my phone updated. The branding, the increased advs, the irrelevant mid-feed posts: it's become @facebook. It's like my favourite cosy coffee shop has been replaced with an ad factory that also sells bad coffee. #RIPTwitter – at Ventnor, England

It was with a heavy heart that I said goodbye to Miss Ripple Cat today. I adopted her from Cats Protection at 14, in 2021, so I knew our time was limited, but it hurts just the same. Sleep well, pretty girl. ❤️ #CalicoCrew @CatsProtection #SeniorKitizens – at Ventnor, England

A tweet posted by @elonmusk earlier this week may be a problem for people with photosensitive epilepsy. Please be careful when viewing any posts and make sure you turn off Autoplay on Twitter bit.ly/3rM7bTd #onlinesafety 💜

Whatever your politics, having #seizures or #epilepsy doesn't mean you no longer function at the highest levels. #Stigma #EpilepsyAwareness

While #epilepsy can be fatal, one shouldn't think that their life is over after being given a new epilepsy onset diagnosis. Many people (even with uncontrolled #seizures) live incredibly productive and fulfilling lives. #EpilepsyAwareness

If we could see thought bubbles over everyone's heads, we'd be a lot kinder to each other. #EpilepsyAwareness 💪💜 #MentalHealth #SundayVibes @Headspace

I cannot explain how much this has resonated with me. Thanks.
