I decided watching tennis this morning would be better for my mental health than watching the news. Now I’m not so sure - such a tense game! #gofelix 🇨🇦 #AusOpen #BellLetsTalk

For me, it’s about getting outside, breathing deeply, and talking to someone. How do you protect your mental health? #BellLetsTalk
It’s not about the celebrities, but watching this donates money AND may give you a tip or two. #BellLetsTalk
It’s Bell Let’s Talk Day! Check out how these celebrities look after their own mental health and join the conversation. For each video view, Bell donates an additional 5¢ to Canadian mental health initiatives. #BellLetsTalk
This year #BellLetsTalk Day is more important than ever. What do you do to look after your mental health?
A new recent mental health survey involving more than 1,000 Canadians suggests anxiety, loneliness and feelings of depression have increased significantly among women in Canada this year, but only slightly for men. cbc.ca/1.6327708
I’m going dry this February to support cancer research, because #cancersucks! Those of you who know me, no I’m not a drinker, so for me #DryFeb will be for sugar. i’d love your support to reach my $1000 donation goal. To donate, visit dryfeb.ca/users/ruth-henders…
I feel like it’s time for a #TwitterBreak again.

We got the first woman president because a dude had a colonoscopy teapawt.net/DaniellaMicaela/status…
President Joe Biden will receive a routine colonoscopy today while he is undergoing a physical at Walter Reed. The process, which requires anesthesia, means that he will temporarily transfer power to Kamala Harris, who will briefly become the 1st woman President.

Good Lord.

Eeek!
Replying to @helenczerski
The Underground is genuinely terrifying, ventilation-wise. CO2 extremely high as well as particulates. I checked the latter on the Bakerloo line and my detector’s alarm went off.
Do you find most Twitter polls nonsensical?

Went to a hair salon that asked “how are you for covid symptoms? You good?” And to a pub where “they didn’t need to see my vax status” because we were on their patio (in a tent w/ all four sides zipped up & some cracks for fresh air). Not v reassuring @brittlestar 😞
I was at a lovely cocktail bar last night. Every person had to show proof of vax at the door and it was divine. I hope that continues until we get through this.

#Covid19 vaccine boosters/3rd doses, vaccine equity, current policy…all beautifully summarized by @AaronRichterman’s thread👇
All can be true: 1. The degree of waning immunity among most ppl is often overstated BUT 2. Delta is more transmissible = absolute risks ⬆️ for everyone (vax/unvax) AND 3. RCTs show clear benefits of boosters/childhood vaccination BUT…

The calming effect of a cup of tea is not an old wives’ tale. L-theanine in tea elevates levels of serotonin, dopamine (feel good neurotransmitters) & gamma amino butyric acid (GABA) in the brain. GABA is a set of brakes for racing thoughts. Have a brew, it can really help
