Urgency culture has us feeling like we have to be in connection 24/7 and respond immediately. It places unhealthy expectations on ourselves and other people. Here's how to get out of the cycle... A THREAD 🧵:

Being emotionally resilient doesn’t mean you aren’t impacted by life or that you never have “bad” days. It means you can feel a wide range of emotions and return to a stable baseline. HERE’S HOW TO BECOME MORE EMOTIONALLY RESILIENT 🧵:

Describing the NHS as “feckless”, as @Telegraph did last week, is insulting and inaccurate. NHS staff are working completely flat out to provide the best possible care amidst a wide range of very difficult challenges. Letter in today’s @Telegraph 👇. R/T or like if you agree.

Just saw Chvrches in Brixton and Robert Smith came on unannounced and played about five songs with them including Just Like Heaven. Two years of not going to gigs made up for in two hours.

So glad this thread has gone viral. Jack's done some brilliant research here. And is the first person to note that whilst basics have risen over 140%, high-end ready meals have stayed the same? Thus disproportionately affecting low-income families.

What great journalism. Balanced overview of where the NHS currently is, and is likely to be in the near future. Along with @ChrisCEOHopson, this is the best of what Twitter can provide with detailed, in depth and knowledgeable commentary.
NEW: first thread of 2022 is an Omicron situation update, starting with a detailed look at UK hospitals, before going international. Let’s start with severity, and the most important chart: Despite steep rises in cases and patients, the number on ventilators has barely risen.

On 12 Dec @BorisJohnson asked NHS & local govt to massively expand booster campaign at huge pace. Latest data & like for like days (Tues 7 Dec to Tues 21) show boosters administered has gone from 391k to 968k a day (a 2.5x increase) in fortnight. R/T if you agree this is amazing!

This is my favourite NHS sign, in our toilet at work. 1. Double threatening from the human who put it up and the Rook itself 2. A quick ornithology lesson

Last Christmas, we had someone over we were bubbled with, we had dinner with the windows wide open, freezing cold. The next day, we went back to work straight onto the COVID wards, I didn't have another day off until the 16th of January. Glad Boris enjoyed his Christmas do.
