Inspired by Young Minds and their #HelloYellow initiative, here are a few quick things you can do with your body that might just make small but important improvements to your mental health and wellbeing - worth it even if you don't think you are struggling!

This is the world we live in - where good people are mocked and thugs are celebrated - I presume the Business Secretary will say this is a great example of freedom of speech

My main response to this is that we had an all staff email go out today because one staff member spat at another one and told them that they had to “go back to where they came from.”

Make of that what you will.

Today's "Monday Myth" examines the worry that talking about suicide is harmful:

Suicide Awareness Month: Monday Myths #4

Today, let’s have a think about a pretty pervasive myth: You must never talk about suicide with anyone, as it will only give them ideas. And anyway, can you really change their mind?

Reform UK’s so-called “Boriswave” rhetoric is a fantasy built on cruelty, cooked-up numbers, and Trump-style authoritarianism.

I despised Charlie Kirk’s politics, but I won’t celebrate his murder.

If democracy has any meaning left, it has to mean ballots, not bullets.

Disagreements, not assassinations.

Today that's "Only certain types of people have suicidal ideas"

I wouldn’t have thought many Labour MPs came into politics to strip the rights of torture survivors to be reunited with the spouses & children.

They need to take a long hard look in the mirror & ask whether Starmer, Cooper & Reeves are really the leadership their careers should be remembered with.

Aimed at a Jewish audience, but worth reading for those meeting opposition from Christians who believe we must support the government of Israel for theological reasons. If a Jewish Rabbi can’t persuade you, who can?

Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg @theradr.bsky.social · Jul 24

I just sent this out.

The Jewish people have moral frameworks for this moment.

It is a choice not to heed them.

Please let us meet this moment, let us see the shattered Temple around us, right now, and our responsibility to it.

On Bluesky: thoughtful people, difficult conversations.

On the bird app: white-hot rage, wilful ignorance, and several people shouting “what about free speech?” while burning cardboard refugees.

So I made a resource. One FAQ. Nine excuses. Nine replies.

Read and share if it helps.

The Moygashel bonfire wasn’t about frustration - it was about dehumanisation. And the justifications are getting bolder.
