Sometimes a crisis hits so hard that a country needs help from others to overcome it. That’s not one-way humanitarian saviourism, it’s international solidarity. 200 South African firefighters land in Edmonton, Canada to help fight the wildfire. Sound up 🔊

Music makes young people happy. Musical instruments make young people feel special and gives them a purpose. Music ensembles make young people feel like they belong. Music performances bring school communities together and leave lasting memories. Music in schools is a no-brainer.

Relief.

My book Ultra-Processed People is published today.
It’s about how UPF affects our bodies and the planet, and what you can do about it.
If you struggle with eating - remember, it’s not you, it’s the food. Order here waterstones.com/book/ultra-p…

Singing. The power of singing. From the youngest child to the wisest soul, singing is simply amazing. Whether alone, in a small group, or in a sea of people, singing is simply amazing. Whether in the shower, car, or concert hall, singing is simply amazing. Singing is amazing.

As a former UN Special Advisor on Human Trafficking I know that our govt’s Illegal Migration Bill really is illegal. It’s also impractical & will make the situation even more chaotic. There are far more practical & compassionate ways of creating safe passage for genuine refugees.

Does willpower even exist?

Community music-making is such an incredible thing. It’s such a connecting thing. It’s such a comforting thing. It’s such a joyous thing. It’s such an uplifting thing. It’s such a needed thing. It’s such an important thing to so many people. Making music makes things better.
