Thank you Sarah Garfinkel for inviting Unreal to the The Royal Society meeting “From being to identity: analysis and synthesis of the self”. It was a privilege for our own Joe Perkins to speak on the lived experience perspective of DPDR and hear the fascinating speakers! #SelfRS2025

NB: Smallish survey of symptoms rather than results from a controlled study

New poem. I try my best...

Sad to learn that Peter Noble has died. He interviewed me for a place at the Maudsley in 1988 and (I had told him we kept ducks) at the end of the interview, said: “We’ll take you if you promise not to to live anywhere near me and my garden”.

Grim reading but necessary

“I often begin my songs on a personal level, but I hope they go on to a bigger truth that transcends my experience. I'm not saying, 'Look at me look at me.' It's the exact opposite. I'm saying, 'Look at you, look at you. Are we not human? Do we not share these things?'” - Joni,

Thanks so much to an amazing team on this project: Isabella, Kanchana Ramachandran, Jamie Badenoch, Jack Fanshawe, Emma Rengasamy, Ben Cross, Maria Rogdaki, Anthony David, Paramala Santosh, Cameron Watson.

This is a travesty and a nightmare. The US was a founder of @Gavi. It lowers vaccine costs for the world, has vaccinated 1B children, and averted 19M deaths. This pull out will cost 100s of thousands of children's lives a year -- and RFK Jr will be personally responsible.

Many narratives of recovery from #mecfs #longcovid! I feel for those stuck: it's a frightening place. But the charities and crowd-funded ideologues who claim to represent you are giving one-sided, polarised views that take away your agency. tinyurl.com/55yz96pw

“When my husband died, because he was so famous and known for not being a believer, many people would come up to me-it still sometimes happens-and ask me if Carl changed at the end and converted to a belief in an afterlife. They also frequently ask me if I think I will see him

a vain condition?
