19:25
Price was still talking over the plan when they made it to the house. Ghost knew they were only here for one thing; the documents Soap found. It’s the evidence they need but Ghost knows it’s a long shot. He looks over at Soap, he’s smiling, of course he is, Ghost almost wants to roll his eyes.
The van pulls up to the front doors. He can see Chloe’s mother and father as well as extended family talking with officers. There’s a man with a suit tapping things on a tablet, Price said they’d called their lawyers. Everyone gets out the van as Price walks over to who Ghost assumes is the man in-charge of the whole raid.
“Found anything?” Price asks. 
“Seized some electronics as per the order. Nothing unusual though. They have sports rifles and shotguns, licences check out.” The officer says.
“Soap take Ghost to the room you saw strip the place.” Price says turning to them to give orders. 
“Gaz stick with me, we’ll search the ground floor.” Ghost doesn’t wait turning towards to house with Soap on his heals. It’s just how he likes it, as long as Soap is nearby it’s one less thing to worry about. Ghost watches as the eyes of the family follow him and Soap into the house. There are people missing, most notably Jack, Ghost knows from the briefing he’s not deployed. He could be anywhere, they haven’t exactly been keeping an eye on him.
After the incident in Syria he was sent back to the UK, his father-in-law covered for him which was to be expected. Then he went quiet, the theory was he was being told to lay low. A shiver ran up Ghost’s spine, there was something wrong with this picture. Ghost tried to ignore it letting Soap pass him to lead him into the house.
“Excuse me!” Someone calls forcing Ghost and Soap to stop in their tracks and turn around. The man Ghost assumed was the lawyer is walking towards them. 
“Excuse me but you don’t look like police.” He says. 
“Well spotted.” Soap says coming to stand next to Ghost. 
“Well I don’t see anywere on this warrant that you’re allowed access here.” He says showing a piece of paper to Ghost who is mostly ignoring it, not that he would understand the legal jargon anyway. 
“Problem boys?” Price says stepping up behind Ghost. 
“He says we’re not to be here.” Soap says.
“Here.” Price says handing him a piece of paper. 
“MI5? Hold on a second. Don’t enter the property until I have verified this.” The man says taking his phone out and turning to walk away. Ghost turns to Price. 
“Hurry up then, I want to get out of here as quick as possible.” Price says turning to walk back over to the officers and Gaz. Ghost watches the lawyer with his back now turned  on the phone, then walks into the building.   
“Up this way LT.” Soap calls heading for the stairs. Ghost follows him making it up to the first floor. Soap leads Ghost into an office. The place is a mess, shredded paper and books flung everywhere. 
“Shite.” Soap says. 
“Someone's had fun.” Ghost says. Soap walks over to the desk, he’s trying to open the drawers but they’re locked. He looks up at Ghost. 
“Price, we’ve made it but the place has been ransacked.” Ghost says into his radio as Soap starts looking through the pieces of paper that never made it through the shredder. 
“There’s nothing useful here.” He says shoving some papers off the desk. Ghost can hear the annoyance in his voice. 
“What about the drawers can you get them open?” Ghost asks looking round the room. All the walls are covered in floor to ceiling bookshelves. What parts of the room missing shelves are covered in expensive art. 
“Na, they’re locked.” Soap says trying to rattle them to see if they’re just stuck. Ghost comes around to see the papers, he can’t make out what the shredded ones are but there have been pictures, and folders, all sorts of things have been through the shredder not just papers. 
“Got anything we can open it with?” Ghost asks. 
“Yeah but shouldn’t we ask them if they have a key first?” Soap asks. 
“Price we’ve got locked drawers up here, any chance we can get a key? Maybe some officers to secure evidence?” Ghost wait’s for Price’s response as he walks over looking at the books pulled off the shelves. He notices the wood looks different and presses down on it. 
“Soap come look at this.” Ghost says as the wall gives way under his hand and it opens a secret compartment. It’s empty but that explains the books on the floor. 
“Shite there could be loads of them.” Soap says looking round the room. There is commotion in the hallways as Ghost hears the lawyer and other people making their way up to the room. 
“I told you to wait downstairs until we’d verified your paperwork!” The lawyer snaps. Ghost looks over at him, he can see the mother behind talking to a police officer. Gaz pushes his way through into the room. 
“They don’t have a key.” Gaz says handing Soap a crowbar. Ghost watches as the officers try to keep them out the room.
“You better not be destroying that desk it’s an antique!” The mother calls in horror as she watches Soap go over. 
“Give us a key then.” Soap says. Ghost looks at him, he looks serious eyeing them down as he waits for a response. 
“They can’t do this you can’t destroy property!” The lawyer shouts. Soap looks up at Ghost as he moves round to the desk stopping as he pushes the crowbar into place. Ghost nods. Fuck the bureaucracy this could be their only chance.

21:00
“Are you sure this is a good idea?” Mark asks Jack from the back of the car. Jack doesn’t say anything right away looking at the address written on the paper for the millionth time. This is not a good idea it’s a terrible idea, it could get them thrown in prison or worse killed. He has to do this though prove to his father he can fix the fuck up he’s caused.
“You scared?” Jack asks turning to look at Mark in the back seat. 
“No, just.” Mark looks away shaking his head.
“Spit it out!” Jack snaps. 
“We’re going up against trained SAS soldiers.” Marks says. 
“You are a trained SAS soldier, and besides we’re getting her not them.” Jack says turning back to look out the front window. 
“Why is she so important anyway? She’s just fucking them.” Brian says scoffing. 
“She’s not just fucking them Brian! You should have seen how hard they fought to get her out of Syria. They went to people even my father couldn’t stop.” Jack says looking back at Brian driving the car. 
“What so we’re holding her for ransom? What if they don’t care?” Harry, Marks brother asks.
“They’ll care.” Jake says confidently. 
“Four SAS soldiers versus the 4 of us. I don’t like our odds.” Mark says under his breath. 
“Pull the car over.” Jack says.
“Sorry?” Brian asks looking at him.
“Pull the fucking car over!” Jack shouts. Brian turns on the hazard lights pulling into the hard-sholder of the main road. Jack gets out the car as soon as it’s stopped going round to Marks door.
“Out now!” He snaps. Mark looks annoyed but he undoes his seat-belt slipping out. As soon as his feet touch the ground Jack pushes him round the back of the car slamming the door. 
“If you don’t want to be involved then fuck off. Go back home to dad with your tail tucked between your legs and explain how you plan on fixing this fuck up.” Jack shouts.
“It’s not my job to fix your fuck ups!” Mark shouts back. 
“No but you and Harry are the ones who let her go at the funeral! They managed to snoop around enough to find out about the sales in Syria and Urzikstan! Do you understand how big of a leak that is?!” Jack shouts.
“She would have never even been in the house if you hadn’t killed Chloe!” Mark shouts back.
“You told me she was going to tell, I didn’t have a choice.” Jack says defensively. 
“She was still my sister.” Mark said taking a step up to Jack.
“She was a liability.” Jack responds. “I wasn’t even here I was stuck in Syria preoccupied with trying to get valuable intel.” 
“Yeah right sorry busy torturing innocent army medics.” Mark says pushing Jacks chest so there is distance between them. 
“Do you know how many fucking strings dad had to pull to make sure you didn’t get dishonourably discharged for that? 141 wanted your neck bad, and you still insist on going after them like they’re the only fucking counter intelligence unit on the face of the earth.” Mike says. 
“They’re the only one we need to be worried about and now they have proof, they’re at the house right now confirming that proof. The only option we have is to get a bargaining chip. She is the best bargaining chip!” Jack says jamming his finger in Marks face. Mark shakes his head.
“And if it doesn’t work?” 
“Then we kill her either way we hurt them, she’s gone and we come up with another plan.” Jack says. 
“I thought the whole point of this was to get back the intel they’ve stolen?” Mark says.
“As soon as my father finds out which CIA agent is helping them we won’t need to worry about that. Besides we destroyed anything useful it will take the MET months to piece it together.” Jack says. 
“Now are you fucking done with your little spat? Because we need to get her before they’re done at the house.” Mark sighs, shaking his head.
“Fine fuck it, walk home.” Jack says throwing his arms up and turning back to the car.
“Wait Jack.” Mark says striding up to him and putting his hand on Jacks shoulder. “We’re family we fix our own fuck ups.” 
“Yeah, unus pro omnibus.” Jack says looking into his brothers eyes.
“omnes pro uno.” Mark replies smiling.
  ——————————  
22:00
Ghost was stood at the door with Price watching the officers finish bagging up the last of the scraps of paper for evidence. 
“They knew we were coming.” Ghost says, his arms crossed as he watches Soap tap on the walls. 
“Yeah, we knew it would be like that though.” Price said. 
“Think they’ll be enough evidence here to convict them?” 
“Don’t know, we won’t know for a while biased on how well they tried to destroy everything.” Price says sighing. Ghost watches as Soap pulls another panel out from the book cases looking inside. Nothing again, this was a waste of time, they’d done a good job scrubbing everything.
Gaz and Soap had been meticulously searching the book cases for hours. All the evidence had been taken. The mother had passed out from stress and the lawyer insisted an ambulance be called, recording everything. It had been a long night. Ghost just wanted to get back to the safehouse. Before his mind could wander Price patted him on the shoulder. 
“Tell them to finish up I’ll go chat with the chief then we’ll get out of here. Not much more we can do till the paperwork as gone through.” Price said. Ghost nodded, walking over to Soap.
“Don’t think we’re going to find anything.” Soap says as he reaches him. 
“No, Price said let’s pack it up, head back.” Ghost says, he sees Soap smile. That makes him happy, he always loves seeing his smile. Ghost tells Gaz the same thing as he finishes checking behind the last bookshelf. It’s empty, the police wrap up too checking the room one more time before taking their leave.
Ghost follows Soap and Gaz out closing the door to the office as he leaves. It’s a shame they couldn’t find anything, but in a few weeks they would know. The MET was going to literally have to put this case together to get the proof but it would happen. And with Laswell’s help they’ll be able to track their movements even better. 
“What do you think that means?” Soap asks shoving his phone in Ghost’s face. They’ve barely even made it out the house. Ghost stops, squinting at the text. It’s a jumbled mess of auto corrected words. A second text just saying 4-5 armed. 
“Price!” Ghost shouts interrupting, him talking to the police chief.
“Call the house!” He says walking over to him dragging Soap along. Price looks confused for a second excusing himself and taking out his phone. 
“What?” He asks when Ghost reaches them, he shows him the phone. 
“Could mean anything,” he says his eyes digging into Ghost. Ghost can see the doubt in his face. This is bad. Price hangs up the phone calling again. Ghost holds his breath squeezing Soaps wrist. He watches Price as the line continues to ring. It keeps ringing, Price brings the phone down then looks up at Ghost.
“We need to move now!” Ghost calls dragging Soap to the car. 
“Try calling her.” Ghost orders Soap as Gaz and Price follow. He just nods trying to hide the fear in his face. This is really bad. 
  ——————————  
22:20
“Found her phone.” Mark says handing it to Jack. He rushes over to you using your bound thumb to unlock it. 
“Shit, she’s warned them we need to leave!” He shouts moving back into the kitchen looking at the gear. They’ve already kitted up and have helped themselves to more weapons for the potential fight ahead.  
“Is she still out?” Mark asks looking back to you being tied to a chair. 
“We’ve got chloroform to keep her out till we need her.” Jack explains, looking back over at Harry and Brian still trying to tie you to a chair.
“Did you not hear me she’s told them we’re here we need to move! Get her in the car.” Jack orders them, they nod pulling at the restraints.
“Where do you want to go?” Mark asks.
“How about the house in Harrow it’s still empty right?” Jack asks.
“Yeah, it’s a bit of a drive though.” Marks says.
“That’s fine the longer we have the better. Plus we can fall back to Kensington if we need to.” Jack says watching Mark nod. 
“Bring her phone, turn it off till we need it but keep it close. We’ll use it to contact them.” Jack says. The house phone ringing makes them jump. Jack walks over to it deciding whether or not to pick it up. He could play all his card right now and tell them they’re holding you for ransom. Or he could wait until they’re in a better situation to make demands. 
“Don’t, we need as much time as we can get.” Mark says. Jack nods his fingers hovering over the phone.
“Okay lets move now! I want wheels up in 10!” Jack says heading for the back door.
“Mark help us get her in the boot.” Harry says as him Brian drag you by your arms out the door. Jack drives, with Mark next to him. They look at each other. They’re in too deep now. Mark nods at him, he’s doing this to prove he can do this. He’s better then what his dad thinks. He has a kid and a wife, he has people he needs to provide for. He can’t lose this job, he can’t fuck his family over like this. He remembers the plan grounding himself, and drives off.

The Ten Best Books I Read This Year
In order of when I read them, not how much I liked them.
Yellowface by R.F. Kuang
A novel about a white author who uses yellowface to achieve literary success. I don't usually read realistic fiction, but I loved Kuang's fantasy novel Babel so I gave this one a try. It is difficult to read, but unputdownable. It's like watching a trainwreck because you just have to see how bad it gets. A takedown of the publishing industry in all its ugliness.
2. Some Desperate Glory by Emily Tesh
This is exactly the kind of sci-fi I most desire. It's a deradicalization story told from the point of view of a far-right zealot slowly deradicalizing herself. I really enjoyed the insights into exactly what it takes for a dangerously radicalized teenager to change her mind.
3. The Saint of Bright Doors by Vajra Chandrasekera
A novel about a Chosen One who walks away from his destined mission and joins group therapy for failed messiahs. Unquestionably the best book on this list. Mind-blowingly excellent. It's as funny as the premise makes it sound, but also deeply profound, politically astute, and the best new spec fic of the COVID-19 era. Big plague CWs here.
4. El Nunca Más de las locas by Matías Máximo
A non-fiction book about the experiences of LGBTQ people in Argentina in the 1970s and 80s. Only available in Spanish, sorry gringues. The book is not only a great work of scholarship, but way more poetically written than I'm used to from history books. Please more historians write with this level of prose, it really adds something.
5. True Biz by Sara Nović
Again, I don't usually read realistic fiction, but this novel by a Deaf author about a year in the life of a Deaf school really grabbed me. It made me cry a whole bunch, and it took me on a compelling tour of Deaf culture, from former cochlear implant users to CODAs to multigenerational Deaf families.
6. Siren Queen by Nghi Vo
A novel about making it big in the golden age of Hollywood when you're Chinese-American and all the studio execs are fae monsters. I've read novellas by Nghi Vo and loved them so I wanted to graduate to her full novels. Oh my god. She really is such a good writer it makes me foam at the mouth. Magic and fae bargains are such good metaphors for Hollywood.
7. Tell Me I'm Worthless by Alison Rumfitt
Trans horror that endeavors to explain why the UK is LIke That. And boy, does it ever succeed. This book calls for basically every imaginable content warning, but it's so worth it. The audiobook deserves a special shout-out; huge props to Nicky Endres for the spine-chilling and sometimes hilarious performance.
8. The Chosen and the Beautiful by Nghi Vo
After Siren Queen I needed more Nghi Vo as soon as possible, so I got this magical AU of The Great Gatsby told from Jordan Baker's point of view. The magic does add something to Gatsby's parties, but the book is at its best when it delves into the parts that Fitzgerald never touched: Jordan Baker's inner life and her history with Daisy.
9. The Sapling Cage by Margaret Killjoy
Trans anarchist witches? Trans anarchist witches with leftist infighting??? Margaret Killjoy once again I thank you for my life. I love how this book shows you very directly how anarchist societies work on a day to day basis, as well as the problems they face.
10. Pests: How Humans Create Animal Villains by Bethany Brookshire
An amazing non-fiction book about the animals we love to hate. The book's take on controversial issues like white-tailed deer management is very nuanced and takes into account important dynamics of settler colonialism and how it affects all of our relationships with the animals close to us.

Im requesting a tom riddle fic where he is dating the reader and like how that would look like. Make it fluffy but not to a point it’s unrealistic for him
Tumblr media
Tom twirled his wand carelessly between his long fingers staring at Y/n who was paying more attention to the potion in front of her than him.
He couldn't take it anymore and placed his want below her chin, the same wand that had obliterated students, to make her look at him. "Your time is up."
Y/n barely parted her lips to argue when he interrupted her again. "My darling it is of no use arguing with me. So wrap this up and come with me. I will be waiting outside." With that, Tom walked out of the classroom not giving her a chance to talk.
Y/n quickly picked up her books haphazardly and jogged to catch up to Tom. Tom smirked and kept walking as she tried to catch up to him. He turned around and gave her a mocking smirk. “No rush darling. Take your time please.” 
She rolled her eyes. That made Tom stop in his tracks and looked at her coldly. “Do you have a problem darling?” Y/n gulped as he walked towards her, she tried to take long breaths to calm her beating heart in fear he might hear them. He grabbed her jaw making her look at him. “The only time I want to see your pretty eyes roll is when I make you feel good, got it precious?”
Y/n quickly nodded and froze when she felt his lips on her cheek. "Good girl." Tom took her hand in his, it felt colder than usual. As they made their way through the corridor Y/n noticed how the students made way for them, avoiding Tom like a plague, averting their eyes away from him.
An uncomfortable feeling started making home in her heart. Yes, Tom was ominous but as she spent more time with she felt there was something more... dark, something dangerous.
"What are you thinking, precious?" His honey-like voice brought Y/n back to reality to realise they were standing in front of his dorm. His tone was loving again.
"Nothing." Her voice was barely audible, but he heard her. His slender fingers caressed her chin. Y/n felt a shiver run up her spine when she looked into his eyes. Not an ounce of innocence in his brown irises were found. He looked so determined.
"You are right my darling." Y/n's eyes widened when he whispered these words in her ear. She wondered if he really heard her thoughts. "I did, precious. I always know what you are thinking. But that is good. Because we have nothing to hide from each other." She stayed still in shock as Tom kissed her jaw.
Her breath hitched when he stopped kissing her jaw, his teeth was right near her pulse. She could see his pupils dilate.
Y/n L/n in that moment realised she will never understand Tom Riddle but she will stay with him as he burns the world
A/n: THIS IS SUPER LATE. I am so sorry honestly I am moving to UK and it has been a rollercoaster. Thank you for being patient

Love, delivered - Niko Omilana
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
pairing: Niko Omilana x f!reader
warnings: js fluff. IM VERY MUCH AWARE THAT SANTA MONICA AND UK TIME ZONES ARE APART, BUT IN THIS STORY IT DOESN’T EXIST.
summary: in which, Niko goes on a trip, and he comes home early and surprises you. based on this request.
Masterlist
6 days ago Niko left to go on a trip with his friends to USA, of course you had no problem with that, but the problem was you didn’t know you would miss him so much..
Beabadoobee once said “don’t forget to kiss me or else you’ll have to miss me”, you did kiss Niko before he left, but you still missed him? Guess Beabadoobee lied..
He even offered you to go with them, but you wanted for him to spend time with his friends on a trip, so you just declined his offer.
All these six days, every night you FaceTimed when he could and wasn’t out with his friends, but even when he was out with them he’d still text you.
And so this night wasn’t any different, it was already 11:31pm and Niko has finally FaceTimed you, which you were waiting for.
You smile widely sitting up to put your computer away as you saw him calling you, “you enjoyed yourself today?” He asked, you could see that he was in his hotel room. “I certainly did. Nothing could beat a nice day home by yourself.” You teased him by the last part, actually you didn’t much enjoy the day by yourself, wishing he was right here next to you.
“Even a good day without me?” He joked, making you laugh, you both knew you didn’t enjoy it.
“Well to be honest, it was a good day, but it would’ve been better if you were here.” You said.
“You should’ve came with us then.” Niko reminded you, that he offered you days ago to go with them. You and Niko continued to waffle about each other’s days until you grew tired and told him, that you were going to sleep. Just before you went to bed you just prayed that one more week will go by quickly.
You woke up at 10am, the late morning wind blew through the open window. It was nowhere near cold, but chills ran up and down your spine constantly, making you put the blanket all over your body except your head.
You quickly reach to grab your phone from the nightstand opening it and seeing an Goodmorning message from Niko, you blushed at it opening it and texting back an “Goodmorning ❤️”
You had no idea what to do today, all you wanted to do was buy a ticket to Santa Monica and visit Niko, but that was not the best idea so instead you texted Daniela “you wanna come over today?” Which she quickly replied with “sure, I’ll be there at 12, x”
When Daniela arrived you let her in, you went to kitchen to catch up and offer her something to eat. “Where’s Niko?” She asked.
“I told you-” you started speaking, but remember you didn’t tell her, “did I not tell you that Niko is in Usa with his friends? I really miss him tho, so everytime I think about it I laugh.. cause if you don’t laugh, you cry.” You shrugged.
“I can’t believe he didn’t take you with him though..” she said putting some grapes into her mouth, the ones you offered her.
“Well he offered, but I declined.” You say, wanting to talk about something else “should we go shopping?” You suggested, to which she agreed so you went to your room to change into some comfortable clothes.
Still upstairs in your room, you texted Niko “I’m going shopping with Daniela.. I miss you so much ☹️☹️” to which he replied with two messages, “miss you too ☹️😘” and the second “text me if you need anything”
After coming home at 5pm you wanted to call Niko, so you could show the clothes you got but when you called him he declined your call.
At first you thought maybe he just did it accidentally or something so you called again, but he decline once again.
You saw his text message, “sorry, I can’t talk right now ☹️ talk to you soon ❤️” you understood, maybe he was again with his friends so you texted back “oh okay.”
You didn’t understand why you were so mad, that he couldn’t talk, you should’ve went with him but now there was no turning back..
You decided to just start making dinner, after doing it and eating you decided to go back to your room upstairs.
It was now two hours since you ate and you were bored so you decided to watch a movie. You went downstairs to get something to drink so you can continue watching the movie, but when you were in kitchen you could’ve hear the door lock opening. Niko only had keys to the house other than you, and Niko was in Santa Monica? Or atleast you thought so
The door opening, you could see Niko walking in the house. You were so confused since when did he got home, from Santa Monica to Uk is like 10 hour flight, even more probably.
“Niko?!” You said and he looked to you “how did you get home? I thought you weren’t going to be home till next week?” You asked, going over to him, tiptoeing so you could hug him around his neck.
He hugged you around your waist, your hair into his face. “Well, I got early home. We finished filming and the guys wanted to stay for fun.” He explained and let go off the hug.
“Wha-” you say confused, “well if you wanted, you could’ve stayed with your friends..” you lied, of course you didn’t want him to stay there longer, as much as you loved the guys, you still wanted Niko to yourself.
“No, no. I wanted to come home.” He said, pulling you into him once again, after taking off his north face jacket, sometimes looking up to Niko you thought you would break your neck from how much taller he was. “In fact the guys didn’t mind.”
You pulled him to the living room so you both could sit down, you wanted to be as close as you could, even though that may sound clingy, but oh well?!
“Was that why you couldn’t FaceTime?” You ask, smiling ear to ear.
“Yeah obviously, there’s no other reason..” he said in duhh tone. He placed his palm on your cheek and leaned in so his lips met yours. You both pulled away with goofy smiles.
You let out a sigh, “I missed you so much, you have no idea how many times I’ve said that to myself and Daniela today..” you laughed.
“Did you really missed me that much?” He questioned jokingly, “it was like what, six days?”
“Duh..” you rolled your eyes playfully “six days is a lot for your information..” you got up from the couch, pulling his arm so you both could go to bed, you just wanted him under the sheets. (Not in THAT way..)
You finally could go to sleep peacefully, knowing Niko is by your side, when he wasn’t and you were REALLY REALLY tired you still craved Niko and it would be lonely without him there.
“Did you really mean it when you said that I could’ve stayed with my friends?” Niko asked, as you were about to fall asleep.
“No, I was joking. I’m glad you’re here. What, did you wanted to stay there?”
“No.” He answered and kissed you forehead and even though it was hot in the room, you still gladly accepted his touch, even when tomorrow morning your skin might be sticky.

The mere mention of identity politics makes everyone’s spine stiffen—left, right, middle, whatever. Both sides argue that the other’s gripes are unfounded. Very helpful. Very progressive. Very… Twitter.
Much like the word "woke," identity politics has been kidnapped, beaten up by the right, dressed in clown shoes, and paraded around as a cautionary tale. The left, naturally, responds by shrieking louder, flailing its arms, and punching itself in the face. But here’s the kicker: you can’t understand systemic prejudice without looking through the lens of identity. Equally, looking at it without understanding how capitalism sustains that oppression is just as nonsensical.
Take Luigi Mangione. Some left-leaning commentators have decided he’s only being fawned over because he’s a handsome white guy. Sure, fair. Privilege is a hell of a drug. And let’s be honest—if he looked like Boris Johnson, would my friends and I be sharing pictures of him in that cunty orange jumpsuit? Absolutely not.
But let’s not skip over the fact that this might also be the first time in decades that people have collectively agreed the U.S. healthcare system is more criminal than your average cartel. Mangione’s case has sparked wider conversations about how shamelessly the media and politicians protect their billionaire donors—while the rest of us have to grin and bear the cost-of-living crisis and the slow-motion collapse of our quality of life. Elon Musk, for example, isn’t worried about solving world hunger—unless it’s the million children he’s fathered out of wedlock. Very traditional. Much man.
This is one of those rare moments when class consciousness kicked down the door, barged into the conversation, and shouted: “Where have you been, dickheads?” And we should be listening. Classism is the vessel of systemic prejudice. It’s the golden goose that keeps laying eggs for the rich while the rest of us scramble over the shells.
Mangione’s privilege? Sure, it’s skewing the narrative—no denying that. But suggesting it’s the only reason people empathise with him is reductive at best and utterly clueless at worst. Maybe folks are just sick of billionaires treating us like extras in their dystopian fanfiction. Just a thought.
In the UK, the top 20% owns 63% of the country’s wealth, while the bottom 20% owns a paltry 0.5%. That’s not even enough to fill a trolley at Lidl. And yet, middle-class progressives sip their oat lattes and wax lyrical about privilege as if they aren’t sitting on a cushy safety net. I was born into a working-class family that fell into poverty when I was ten. Watching white, middle-class folks treat identity politics like gospel while ignoring class is like watching someone lecture you on drowning while standing in a lifeboat.
Classism is why kids from disadvantaged backgrounds are 19 months behind their peers by the time they finish school. It’s why 3.6 million children lived in absolute poverty last year. And it’s why those problems remain immovable—because fixing them would mean looking in the mirror. And let’s face it, blaming the "other" is much easier than self-reflection.
Dreaming of abolishing capitalism in the UK feels delusional. Especially when billionaires like Elon Musk are playing the world’s loudest violin, painting progressivism as socialism to protect their wallets. Musk isn’t doing this because he’s a genius. He’s doing it because he’s a hollow man with a God complex and unresolved daddy issues. But I digress.
Capitalism thrives on division. Nothing oils the machine faster than convincing us to turn on each other. And look, I get it—understanding identity-based oppression is vital. But when it devolves into a pissy shouting match? It’s just white noise. No learning. No change. Just people screaming into the void.
Surviving as a working-class person in a capitalist economy is engineered to break you. Now add some self-important pundit on telly wagging their finger at you for not being progressive enough. What do you get? Rage. Exhaustion. Division. If I hadn’t been so socially disconnected from the kids I grew up with—thanks, undiagnosed autism—I might’ve followed the same far-right pipeline they did. Why? Because they had fuck-all, and society kept telling them they were the problem.
My single mum didn’t have time to be an activist. She was too busy working three jobs, clutching her mental health by the throat, and keeping a roof over our heads. That exhaustion is the whole point. The system is designed to keep you too knackered to fight back.
You can’t separate identity struggles from class struggles. But ignoring class entirely? That’s how we end up here, with riots in the streets and Farage clones stoking the flames. Those riots weren’t populated by middle-class Foxes or Robinsons. They were predominantly white, working-class people. Why? Because class disparities breed discontent, and that discontent gets weaponised by the rich to keep us fighting each other instead of them. It’s the oldest trick in the book.
If we addressed class disparities—if we dragged billionaires kicking and screaming out of politics—it’d become painfully clear how class has been the boot on everyone’s neck. Instead, we squabble and point fingers while the top 1% buys up everything, including your grandma’s bungalow. This is no accident.
Politicians haven’t failed us. They’ve done exactly what they were built to do: oppress the majority, enrich the ruling class, and keep the boot shiny. By cutting class consciousness out of discussions on racism, sexism, and transphobia, we’re missing the plot.

So basically KC is fighting with relatives over H coming back. H wants to come back but with M. M does not want to come back unless she gets a wing at Windsor Castle (per new media reports). If KC wants H back, then KC should grow a spine and get a crown property ready and tell H there's a home for him in the UK and let M decide if she wants to follow H to the UK. KC is the king and can do what he wants but so far, he hasn't. I think KC's problem is he doesn't like making difficult decisions.
Hi Nonny,
That's more or less how I see the situation with respect to Harry coming back - with the caveat that Meghan will want more than just a wing of the castle, she will want to be treated as higher ranking than The Queen (as she always does).
I would be very happy for The King to say to Harry something along the lines of 'There is a home for you here at X, but you won't be a working royal and you won't be half-in half-out, come or not as you wish" but like you, I think His Majesty struggles with making difficult decisions, and I think that this is a difficult decision for him to make. I feel that as long as they don't impact him, he would rather give in to Harry's demands and leave the rest to sort itself out later. Unfortunately, this is a decision that will impact him in various ways (popularity, home life etc) so he has to draw a firm line and stick to it, and I think he does find that very difficult to do.

An essay I wrote for school on Strange New Worlds' problems with ableism, complete with bibliography:
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds has numerous problems, from its retooling of the Gorn into knockoff xenomorphs to its erasure of Spock’s Jewish roots to its overreliance on nostalgia, but its most glaring flaw is its painful undercurrent of ableism. The conflation of disability with death, the ignorance and tacit pardoning of eugenics, and the disposal of multiple disabled characters come together to weave a harmful and ignorant pattern in the show’s writing.
Christopher Pike’s character in Strange New Worlds is defined by disability. The dilemma he wrestles with in almost every episode is the looming specter of his future disability, which was revealed to him via time crystal in season two of Star Trek: Discovery. In the twelfth episode of season two, “Through The Valley of Shadows”, Pike must harvest a time crystal in order to send the life’s story of a dead alien to the future to protect it from an evil artificial intelligence intent on destroying all life in the galaxy. When Pike touches the crystal, he sees visions of his future, in which he is caught in a deadly radioactive explosion and left with severe burns and full body paralysis, able to move and communicate only through a specialized wheelchair. “The sequence ends with a final linked pair of nightmarish shots, a centred close-up of the older Pike’s face beginning to melt as he screams matched with the younger Pike’s own horrified scream as he falls backward into the present moment,” (Muredda, Angelo). As Muredda says later in the same article, this portrayal imagines disability as “a terminal point, something to scream about in terror, and the embodied sign of no liveable future at all.” The depiction of disability as a horrifying fate, and of the disabled body as an object of disgust and/or fear has a long history in the genres of horror and science fiction; previous and current Star Trek series are not immune to this. The Borg Queen, who appeared most recently in Picard, is missing most of her lower body and uses a robotic replacement to walk— her prosthetic spine is used as an object of horror and disgust when she first appears in First Contact (1996).
While Strange New Worlds had the opportunity to break this pattern and defy ableist stereotypes with Pike, they chose instead to follow the path Discovery had laid for them. Despite the fact that it is made very clear that Pike will be disabled, not killed, by the explosion he will be caught in in the future, every character within the narrative speaks of Pike’s fate as if he is going to die. Pike says, less than twenty minutes into the pilot: “I know how and when my life will end.” This writing decision mirrors the real-life belief that disabled peoples’ lives are akin to “a fate worse than death” or “not worth living,” a sentiment which has led to real deaths: “. . . [early in the pandemic] this belief — that we’re just surviving, not living, and thus have limited quality of life — lead to forced DNRs being put in the files of disabled people in the UK and lead directly to the death of a disabled man, Michael Hickson,” (Lloyd, Kelas). Hickson was denied treatment for pneumonia in Austin, Texas due to his doctor’s perception that he “didn’t have much of a quality of life.” He was put in hospice against his family’s wishes and died at the age of 46. (Shapiro, Joseph). For Strange New Worlds to equate Pike’s disability to the end of his life is irresponsible and reinforces the cultural biases that led to the death of Hickson and continue to impact the quality of treatment disabled people receive the world over.
Christopher Pike’s initial appearance in the original series episode “The Menagerie” was actually very progressive for the time; despite the limited communication of the blinking-light system in his wheelchair and his ending being living out the last of his life in a virtual reality where he could walk again, he was still a disabled person on television in a position of power.
When Pike first appeared, the Ugly Laws were still in place in much of the United States. Someone visibly disfigured/disabled was not to be seen in public spaces, at the risk of fines or jail . . . Captain Pike’s appearance in The Original Series was revolutionary. Here was not just a visibly disabled person, but they were someone Spock respected and cared about enough to risk his career for. [Disabled people] didn’t have a great existence, but they had one, and Pike was still valued as a person. (Lloyd, Kelas).
It would have been quite easy for the writers to modernize Pike’s portrayal to further disability representation in the way Pike first did: @hard-times-paramore has written an alternate ending (a mixed media series titled “The Captain’s Chair”) for Strange New Worlds in which Pike goes on to captain a new starship after becoming disabled, assisted by an interpreter, a caretaker, and futuristic medical technology. This alternate ending carries the message that disabled people are still people, who can and should be allowed a place in science fiction, as opposed to the current message sent by SNW, which is that significant disability is akin to a death sentence, even in a fantastical future.
However, there is more to Strange New Worlds’ portrayal of disability than just Captain Pike. The show is also very preoccupied with genetic augmentation and the Federation’s attitude toward it. While this is far from unique among Star Trek media, unlike other Trek properties which have covered this topic (Doctor Bashir, I Presume?, Chrysalis, Space Seed, Affliction/Divergence, etc) Strange New Worlds does not acknowledge the real-life equivalent to science fiction genetic augmentation: eugenics. SNW portrays genetic augmentation as a neutral practice targeted unjustly by the Federation because of outdated prejudices, with no examination of what genetic augmentation is a stand-in for. While the original series (in “Space Seed”) first introduced the Federation’s ban on genetic augmentation as a justified protective measure against the breeding of warlike “superior ambition” among men of “superior ability,” Strange New Worlds portrays genetic augmentation as an unjustly discriminated-against trait whose origin and consequences mean little to nothing.
Strange New Worlds’ main conduit for their genetic augmentation plotlines is Una Chin-Riley, the first officer of the Enterprise. She is a member of an alien species called Illyrians, who genetically modify themselves to suit the environments of planets they colonize. She herself was genetically modified as a baby, and is thus legally barred from joining Starfleet— however, she lied on her application to Starfleet Academy to get in. The plots revolving around her concern her arrest for violating Federation law and the subsequent trial, which is used as an extended metaphor for discrimination against, and the fight for civil rights for, marginalized groups. “Ad Astra Per Aspera,” the episode covering Una’s trial, is intentionally vague with its metaphor, to the point that just about any marginalized group could be represented by it. This episode is, on its face, fine. It argues against discrimination through allegory quite adeptly, discussing the concept of “passing” as part of a non-oppressed group and broaching the topic of systemic oppression. However, it has one glaring flaw in its base: the stand-in it chose for real-life oppression. Genetic modification, unlike other fantastical attributes that can be used to metaphorize oppression, has a bloody real-life history involving the deaths and sterilizations of millions of people. Strange New Worlds, however, appears ignorant of this fact: not once does the topic of eugenics come up in any of their episodes about genetic augmentation. Not once does the topic of disability come up, either. This is either an unwillingness to engage with the realities of what those who seek to change humanity’s genes have done and continue to do, a grave oversight, or mere ignorance. Whichever one it is, this omission of eugenics from the narrative of genetic augmentation is one that cannot be ignored. Its omission reads as a tacit endorsement of genetic augmentation at times, such as when Una and La’An say, in “Ghosts of Illyria”:
LA’AN: All my life I've hated augments. Hated what people thought of me because I was related to them. Understanding why they were outlawed in the Federation. The damage they did. They almost destroyed Earth.
UNA: [. . .] My people were never motivated by domination. Illyrians seek collaboration with nature. By bioengineering our bodies, we adapt to naturally-existing habitats. Instead of terraforming planets, we modify ourselves. And there's nothing wrong with that.
By ignoring the part eugenics plays in Star Trek’s portrayal of augmentation, and instead portraying the issue as a matter of prejudice based off of the fictional event of the Eugenics Wars— when augmented “supermen” became dictators and killed millions in conquest and war— Strange New Worlds completely fails to examine the real-life implications of their metaphor.
What makes this episode’s flaws worse is that another Star Trek series already portrayed the potential expulsion of a genetically augmented person from Starfleet, handling it with better understanding of the eugenic undertones of genetic augmentation, and it did so in 1997. In the season five episode of Deep Space Nine, “Doctor Bashir, I Presume?”, it is revealed that Julian Bashir, chief medical officer of Deep Space Nine, was illegally genetically modified by his parents as a small child and is in danger of being thrown out of Starfleet because of this revelation. Throughout the course of the episode, the audience learns that Bashir’s parents chose to modify him because he was intellectually disabled as a child. His mother believed that his life would be better if he were “normal,” while his father wanted a successful son and believed that intellectual disability was inimical to that end. The episode expresses, through Julian’s anger at his parents, that modifying a person to rid them of perceived “undesirable traits” is wrong, but that it is also wrong to unilaterally bar people from Starfleet based on a decision that was made for them by eugenicist parents. This message is far more clear than “Ad Astra Per Aspera”’s, especially on the subject of disability and eugenics. Strange New Worlds’ complete neutrality on and/or tacit approval of genetic augmentation/eugenics, in contrast to Deep Space Nine’s nuanced examination of the topic, is glaring.
The specific problem with Strange New Worlds’ neutrality on genetic modification is that for a species to be changed on a genetic level for any reason, traits must be eliminated. In a science fiction setting, this can be accomplished by simply changing the genetic structure of a consenting adult with a futuristic medical tool, rather than through violence as in our reality, but this, too, presents ethical problems. What is considered a problem to be cured? Who makes that decision? What happens to those who don’t want something modified out of them? What happens to any children they may have? Who gets to have control over technology with the power to eliminate or introduce genetic traits at will? What place do disabled people have in a society built off of achieving peak physical performance in a given environment? Strange New Worlds attempts to answer none of these questions. It acknowledges none of them. And this silence leaves disabled people out of the conversation completely by not even considering them. Today, in Denmark and Iceland, almost 100% of fetuses with Down Syndrome are aborted; the law in Iceland even specifically states that abortion is permitted after 16 weeks only if the fetus has a “deformity,” which Down Syndrome is specified to count as. (Quinones, Julian; Lajka, Arijeta). An entire anti-vaccine movement was begun in Britain because parents were so afraid of having a child with autism and chronic digestive disease, a child like me, that they risked their children dying of measles. This is what real-life genetic engineering looks like, and Strange New Worlds has failed to acknowledge that. I, at least, consider that a failure of writing, empathy, and allyship.
Strange New Worlds’ portrayal of disability is not relegated to Pike’s fate and Una’s augmentation, however. The show has several other characters who either are disabled or become disabled at one point. Rukiya, Dr. M’Benga’s daughter, is treated less as a character and more as an object for the emotional development of her father, a position many young disabled girls occupy in fiction. “[This story] centers Dr. M’Benga, and his pain, and his struggle, and doesn’t grapple with what Rukiya’s going through.” (Lloyd, Kelas). Rukiya has an untreatable terminal cancer, and is kept in a state of suspension in the transporter buffer by her father while he searches for a cure. Her story ends when the Enterprise enters a sentient telepathic nebula with the power to warp reality, and it offers to keep Rukiya within itself so that her disease will not progress and she will be able to grow up. M’Benga decides that this is the best option, and so relinquishes Rukiya to the nebula. She is never seen again. “She is disabled, and then she’s removed . . . The disabled person was put into [a] box and left behind, like so many disabled people have been put away in care homes and institutions and left behind.” (Lloyd, Kelas). Jax agreed, saying: “It just felt like she was poofed away for convenience. Like, ‘There! The problem is gone! The terminal illness or the girl? Both! Don’t worry about it!’”
The only other disabled main character on SNW is Hemmer, who is a member of a blind species called the Aenar. “While the Aenar cannot see, they believe that their telepathy gives them a ‘superior’ awareness of their surroundings compared to sighted people (Vrvilo, 2022). Because of this, the Aenar are highly criticized by the disability community as falling into the ‘magically disabled’ trope.” (Harris, Heather Rose). Bruce Horak, the actor who plays Hemmer, is blind himself, which is a genuinely good decision in terms of representation and support for the disabled community. However, Hemmer dies in the penultimate episode of season one. This decision was not received well by disabled fans: “It just kind of felt like a kick in the teeth. I finally found some good disability representation played by a disabled actor [who] isn’t a one off character, and they die in the first season.” (Jax). Both Hemmer and Rukiya are left behind by the narrative of Strange New Worlds, and with them, so too are disabled perspectives. The crew of the Enterprise is now entirely able-bodied, and the only remaining character whose story directly concerns disability is Pike, who repeatedly asserts that his life will end once he becomes disabled. This state of affairs is the embodiment of being spoken for, and being spoken over.
There is a saying in the disabled community: “Nothing about us without us.” This saying means that abled people should not attempt to help, treat, or speak about disabled people without involving disabled people in their efforts. Disabled people are often denied autonomy over their bodies, medical care, relationships, and lives; to deny them a part in operations meant to help them is to further deny them dignity and respect. This is what Strange New Worlds is doing by writing disabled stories with no disabled writers in the room— while they did well by casting Bruce Horak to play Hemmer, it is not enough to have disabled people in front of the camera. They must also play a part in writing, directing, planning, and all other work behind the scenes if Strange New Worlds wishes to tell their stories. In order for Strange New Worlds to rectify their pattern of ableism, they must listen to disabled voices.

DP3 - The Lost Boys: “It’s OK to Cry”
Week 8
I started to design the larger picture of the whole programmes through plan and section. I got inspired by the film 'Ghosts' (based on the Morecambe Cockling Disaster) which talks about a single mother left her baby to come work illegally in the UK; and considering the innocent vulnerable children of the illegal workers in the UK and further research of the local social problems, I decided to design a seaside orphanage.
I used a layered system to form the sleeping, living and educational spaces of the orphanage. I need to define the programmes in much more detail, e.g. boat building workshop, life saving classrooms. I need to consider the key questions of why the spaces make sense and have to be out in the sea. A good suggestion for me is to design the spaces for orphan in three stages, primary school, secondary school and post-school kids activating their extrasensory and intersensory perceptions
Below is what I need to do and consider:
Three Case Studies
Three Axonometric Organisation Diagrams
Clients
Performance of Spaces: How many People, How long do people stay in the spaces, kitchen placing at the bottom to use the heat, gas, electricity and water going through the spine of the building
Two-Three Typical Users: How do they move through the spaces, what do they interact with
Segment of Layers of spaces Model (Long Term), Detail: Niall Mclaughlin
Case Studies:
Yakohama Airport Terminal - Rock Pools to connect people
Hugh Broughton Drawings - Sleeping Pods
Foundling Museum
RNLI Blackpool
Wetland Research and Education Center / Atelier Z+
Community Rowing Boathouse / Anmahian Winton Architects
Myth - Sea Monster - H.P. Love Craft - Cthulhu
Summer Retreat

Everything You Need to Know About Spine Surgery in India
Spine problems can be life-altering—affecting your posture, mobility, and quality of life. Whether it’s due to injury, age, or a medical condition like herniated discs or scoliosis, spine issues demand specialized treatment. Thankfully, Spine Surgery in India has emerged as a world-class solution, offering advanced medical care at a fraction of the cost seen in Western countries.
Tumblr media
What is Spine Surgery?
Spine surgery is a medical procedure performed on the backbone to address structural problems, relieve pain, or correct deformities. These issues often stem from conditions such as spinal stenosis, disc herniation, scoliosis, fractures, or degenerative disc disease. The goal of spine surgery is to restore spinal function, reduce nerve compression, and improve overall quality of life.
Who Should Consider Spine Surgery?
Spine surgery is typically recommended when non-surgical treatments like physical therapy, medications, or injections fail to bring relief. You might be a candidate if you suffer from:
Chronic back or neck pain
Herniated or bulging discs
Numbness or weakness due to nerve compression
Scoliosis or spinal deformities
Spinal fractures or tumors
Degenerative disc disease
If your condition interferes with daily life or causes neurological deficits, it’s time to consult a spine specialist.
Types of Spine Surgeries Available in India
India offers a range of spine surgery options, including:
Spinal Fusion Surgery
Laminectomy and Discectomy
Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS)
Endoscopic Spine Surgery
Robotic-Assisted Spine Surgery
Foraminotomy
ALIF & LLIF (Anterior/Lateral Lumbar Interbody Fusion)
Indian hospitals are well-equipped with robotic systems, intraoperative imaging, and neuronavigation tools that enhance surgical precision and minimize risks.
Why Choose Spine Surgery in India?
India stands out as a top destination for spinal procedures for several compelling reasons:
Affordable Pricing: The cost of spine surgery in India is significantly lower than in the USA, UK, or Australia.
Skilled Surgeons: India boasts internationally trained spine specialists with years of experience.
Advanced Technology: Use of robotic systems, O-arm navigation, BrainLab CT AIRO, and 3rd-generation implants ensure world-class treatment.
Quick Appointments: Unlike Western countries with long waitlists, Indian hospitals offer quicker scheduling.
Medical Tourism Support: Platforms like EdhaCare assist international patients with visa, accommodation, translation, and post-operative care.
Cost of Spine Surgery in India
The cost of spine surgery in India varies depending on the complexity of the procedure and hospital choice:
TLIF Surgery: 5,000 – 10,000
Scoliosis Correction: 12,000 – 20,000
Endoscopic Spine Surgery: 6,000 – 8,000
Spinal Fusion Surgery: 2,000 – 4,000
Laminotomy: 3,000 – 5,000
These rates are inclusive of hospital stay, surgeon fees, and advanced diagnostic tests.
Recovery & Post-Operative Care
Recovery after spine surgery usually involves a hospital stay of 2–5 days followed by physiotherapy and rest. With minimally invasive techniques, patients can resume normal activities within a few weeks. Long-term success depends on:
Regular physiotherapy
Avoiding heavy lifting
Maintaining good posture
Follow-up check-ups
Indian hospitals also offer extensive post-surgery rehab programs to ensure optimal recovery.

Ergonomic Evaluation The aim of the following study was to conduct an ergonomic evaluation to identify contributing factors in the development of musculoskeletal pain and discomfort in Ultrasound Sonographers involved in Obstetric and Gynecological scanning. The methodology involved a cross-sectional study of Sonographers in one hospital. The methodology included the use of the Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) to identify the exposure to postural risk, static muscle work and repetition, and the use of an adapted Musculoskeletal Questionnaire to evaluate the frequency and distribution of musculoskeletal problems,. Fourteen participants were assessed in the workplace. The RULA analysis identified that the task element with the highest risk factor within this sample was scanning patients; it was found that the participant spent between 31% and 39% of their working time doing this in a 26-hour week. The results from the questionnaire found that 64% had experiences one or more combined physical problems over the previous 12 months, with the shoulder joint (57%), cervical spine (50%) and wrist and hands (50%) identified as the most frequently reported problems. The study highlights the prevalence of self-reported symptoms among Sonographers and the postural constraints individuals have to adopt while working. Suggestions are proposed to reduce the risks via adjustable work equipment, education in using adjustable equipment, work organization changes and the use of arm supports. Introduction Diagnostic ultrasound (DU) was first introduced to the medical world in 1942 by Austrian Physician Dr. Karl Dussik (Levi, 2007). It was initially used to detect gall stones in 1950 by Ludwig and Stutler, but was developed for use in gynecology where there was a profound need to develop safer imaging techniques (Levi, 2007). DU was first used in the applied setting in 1958 by Professor Ian Donald from Glasgow who used ultrasound to examine gynecological patients for pelvic lesions (Levi, 2007). It was used on a more regular basis within the clinical environment during the 1960's gaining recognition by the American Medical Association in 1974 (Vanderpool, 1993). In modern day medicine, the use of ultrasound, in both gynecology and obstetrics has become a normal part of the diagnostic and fetal assessment process. However, the increased use of ultrasound equipment has been identified as a source of workplace pain and discomfort in Sonographers. Craig (2005), surveyed 100 sonographers with 5-20 years experience. The results showed that that majority of respondents had experienced symptoms of musculoskeletal problems including wrist and shoulder problems. The study however, did not document exact figures concerning work related problems nor did it give details pertaining to the methodology or response rate of the study. A study by Vanderpool (1993), surveyed 225 Cardiac Sonographers. A 47% response rate was achieved with 72% of respondents female. Results found that 63% of respondents had experienced wrist problems during their career and 3% had been diagnosed specifically with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Wihlidal and Kumar (2008), surveyed 156 Sonographers in a postal survey in Alberta. A 61.5% (N=96) response rate was achieved and 88.5% of respondents reported work related symptoms either historically or ongoing. Clusters of symptoms included neck and intrascapular pain (54%), shoulder or upper arm pain (53%), low back pain (37.5%) and elbow pain (23.5%). Respondents were asked about absence from work and 16% reported that they had been forced to take absence due to symptoms (Wihlidal and Kumar, 2008). In comparison with others involved radiography work, May et al. (1994) surveyed breast screening radiographers in a UK national survey of 800 participants. There were 320 respondents to the survey. This study used two control groups including clerical staff (N=400) and general radiographers not involved in screening (N=400). Preliminary results found that those involved in general radiography reported most muscular complaints (94.4%), 76% of those involved in breast screening reported pain and 70% of clerical staff reported muscular discomfort. Although only descriptive data is reported in the study, it highlights the level of complaints within general and breast screening radiography. Habes and Baron (2000) presented a case study of ergonomic evaluation of ultrasound testing. The study highlighted the postural extremes sonographers had to adopt while using ultrasound equipment, the static loading from holding the scan heads and the biomechanical loading on the sonographers. Several recommendations from this study included the use of adjustable chairs including sit/stand seats and beds, the provision of elbow support, customizing one room for specific scanning types and a secondary monitor in the line of sight of the sonographers. The results of the previous studies suggest that the use of ultrasonography equipment is accompanied by physical musculoskeletal problems. The following study was carried out after an initial ergonomics evaluation of the work carried out in the radiography department of a hospital. The aim of the study was to identify the prevalence of musculoskeletal pain and discomfort, to identify postural risk factors when carrying out scanning tasks and to evaluate the workplace and equipment design. Methodology The participants in the study all worked at one hospital specializing in Gynecology and Obstetrics. To become familiar with the working environment and the scanning process, a period of time was spent observing Sonographers at the Neonatal unit. To further identify the principle components of the scanning process, a talk-through was carried out based on the method in Kirwan and Ainsworth (2007). The Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA), methodology developed by McAtamney and Corlett (2003) was used to identify whether the postures used when carrying out sonography tasks were high risk. The RULA analysis was carried out with 6 participants scanning obstetric patients and 6 participants scanning gynecological patients including transvaginal scanning during 90 minute observation periods. A modified version of the standardized Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ) was used in the form of a structured interview during the initial stages of the study. The structured interview was based on the standardized and validated questionnaire developed by the Nordic Group (Kuorinka, et al., 2010). Results A total of 14 Sonographers took part in the study, 11 were registered Radiographers and three Medical Doctors. The age range of the participants was 35 to 52 years, with time working with ultrasound equipment ranging from 6 months to 23 years. The time spent using equipment ranged from 6 hours per week to 35 hours per week with a mean of 26 hours per week scanning patients. The observation data identified the different types of scans carried out within the department, familiarization with the working environment and the scanning process. Two main types of scans were identified, firstly the obstetric scan and secondly the gynecological scan. Nine rooms were routinely used for scanning each fitted out with the relevant equipment including computers for record keeping. Four different types of ultrasound equipment were used within the department. Eight of the consulting rooms contained non-adjustable stools of varying heights The talk-through process identified the task elements involved in scanning patients. Table 1., identifies the task elements from A to H. that the sonographer carries out. Postural observations made during the RULA analysis identified that when scanning a patient, the sonographer is required to twist the neck and trunk in order to view the monitor while at the same time maintaining probe contact with the patient. The cervical spine is also held in moderate side flexion usually when the sonographer is pointing out features on the display screen. Table 1., presents the data for the RULA analysis and indicates that although the majority of tasks carried out are scored at action level 2, the scanning of patients for both types analyzed was scored at action level 3, requiring investigation and change in the near future. The degree of static loading during the scanning element was also analyzed visually and it was approximated that when carrying out an obstetric scan, the maintenance of static posture was required for 84% of the time and for a gynecological scan, 74% of the scanning time. Table 1. Task Elements and RULA Scores of the Scanning Process Task Element Code Task Obstetric Scan Gynae. Scan Mean Grand Score Action level Mean Grand Score Action Level A Reading the patient's notes 3 2 3 2 B Walking 2 1 2 1 C Computer Work 4 2 4 2 D Setting up the patient/equipment 4 2 3 2 E Performing the scan 5 3 6 3 F Talking to the patient/relatives 3 2 3 2 G Clearing the plinth 3 2 3 2 H Communicating with colleagues 3 2 3 2 The percentage of time spent on each of the task elements was also calculated and the data is presented in Figure 1. What is highlighted from this is that the individuals surveyed, spent between 31% and 39% of their time with patients carrying out the task with the highest RULA grand score. Figure 1. Percentage of Time on Scanning Tasks The NMQ identified that 13 (93%) of respondents had previously or were currently experiencing at least one or more physical symptoms. Table 2., presents the summary results of the prevalence of musculoskeletal pain and discomfort. The data presented show that pain and discomfort is most commonly reported for the neck, shoulder, wrist/hands, upper and lower back. Two of the respondents felt that the symptoms they experienced did encroach upon their leisure time but none felt that their work activities had been reduced. Of those who complained of shoulder problems, 60% attributed this to sonography work including working with the arm elevated for long periods. Moving patients and heavy equipment were also implicated to a lesser degree. Table 2. Incidence of Musculoskeletal Problems in the past 7 days or 12 months Body Segment Last 7 days Last 12 months N N Neck 5 36 7 50 Shoulders 3 21 8 57 Elbows 0 0 1 7 Wrists/Hands 3 21 7 50 Upper back/Thoracic Spine 5 36 5 36 Lower back 5 36 7 50 One or both: hips, thighs, buttocks 0 0 1 7 One or both knees 1 7 2 14 One or both ankles or feet 0 0 0 0 Discussion The main limitation on this study was the small sample size. Although there were only 14 respondents, this did represent all the staff working at the time of the study. In comparison with previous work, the results are similar to those within sonography. There are a number of potential factors that are thought to contribute to the pattern of symptom reporting including the nature of sonography work and the equipment in use, where approximately one third of the working time is spent interacting with the ultrasound equipment. This particular task has been identified by the RULA analysis as being Action Level 3 where investigation and change are required in the near future. The repetitive nature of the work is also a risk factor where scans are at times carried out at 15 minute intervals during the working day. The ultrasound equipment design is also an issue in terms of risk. Sonographers use different ultrasound machines in the course of the working week in a variety of standing or sitting postures. All users were seen to conduct the scan in postures which place the joints under stress. They often had to stretch the upper limb to reach the console and controls while maintaining physical contact with the patient. In this case it appears that although some equipment has been designed with the user in mind, this is not often the case as the ultrasound equipment is cumbersome to move and use. This may be a concern as ultrasound equipment should be considered under the Display Screen Equipment Regulations (HSE, 2002) where there are different requirements for the screen and the keyboard as currently exist in many hospital departments. In terms of the workplace and setting up of equipment, the risk factors included non-adjustable seats of varying heights. This did not allow the sonographers the opportunity to adjust the workplace to fit themselves. Other factors that should be considered are the use of support for the upper limb as suggested by Habes and Baron (2000) Conclusion Sonography is a relatively young profession that became prominent in the 1960s. Its characteristic scanning technique involves a great deal of static muscle work in the upper body. A consequence of this rapid growth is starting to emerge and research over the past 10 years has associated sonography with a number of musculoskeletal problems. Implicated in the symptom profile of this study were the postures adopted when using ultrasound equipment, the non-adjustability of workplace seating and the ultrasound equipment design. The percentage of time spent on each of the task elements was also calculated and the data is presented in Figure 1. What is highlighted from this is that the individuals surveyed, spent between 31% and 39% of their time with patients carrying out the task with the highest RULA grand score.
