A fitting day to submit my Masters dissertation. The degree is finally over; mind and body so, so weary.... but the cause is utterly worth it #WorldSuicidePreventionDay

Whilst many tune into watch England in the #EURO2024 final, watching in hope and anticipation, remember many women and children will be watching for different reasons… Domestic abuse increases by 26% when England win or draw and by 38% after a defeat at a major tournament.

This has aged well 😑
MP's, footballers... if ever there was a time to introduce performance-related pay, it might be now.

Absolute QUEEN 👑 Not only has Barkley been gripping to follow once again, it also temporarily made the internet a nicer place, which tells you everything you need to know about the Ultra community 🫶🏻 #barkley #BM100 #smalleuropeanwoman
Incredible photos from @howiesternphoto on insta of the history making #smalleuropeanwoman @JasminKParis becoming the first woman to ever finish the #bm100 Barkley marathon 🤯

Nothing says ‘January’ (or the rising cost of heating 🙄😫) like a cat hugging a hot water bottle.

Never have we needed more kindness in the world than we’ve got now. Nastiness is unnecessary, & loneliness kills. #WorldMentalHealthDay Thank you @KathyHoopmann for All Birds Have Anxiety 📚

This is possibly one of the most disturbing things I’ve ever seen on tv. #Elections2020
The inspired thing about shelving @maitlis tonight is that it'll stop this video dead in its tracks. Thank you for not sharing.

Sad to hear that we are less good parents because in the exact same situation, it did not occur to us to break the law

Holding my anxiety together today has involved making a donation to my local food bank, texting encouragement to a few folk I’ve not spoken to in a while, & then having a little cry.

I’ve also sent texts asking for a bit of support, because there’s nothing wrong with that either.

Tomorrow I plan to put my biggest of big girl pants back on and go for a long run with the @Youthscape podcast, and refocus before indefinite home schooling starts. In the words of Julian of Norwich... and all shall be well, and all shall be well...

Hey @Tesco, sorry to be a bore, but a display of single-use ‘not yet recycled’ plastic plates & tumblers by the checkout just isn’t very cool anymore... & it’s been there weeks. Surely you can be better than this! 🌎 #plasticpollution #singleuseplastic – at Sheringham, England

Wouldn’t it be marvellous if The Queen ditched the script, freestyled it out and just told the whole sorry lot of them what she was really thinking... 💭 #QueensSpeech – at Sheringham, England
