It's #WorldMentalHealthDay.
Close to 1️⃣ billion people have a #MentalHealth disorder. Despite the magnitude of mental ill health, relatively few people around the 🌍 have access to quality mental health services.
Let's make mental health & well-being for all a global priority!

The serious gaps in #MentalHealth care are a result of chronic under-investment. This #WorldMentalHealthDay we call on more investment for mental health care for all!

The other day, my (lovely) dentist asked what I did for a living - I said I've been working in environmental science and recently climate stuff a bit.
She said 'Wow - that must be an exciting time for you?'... (1/7)

No, it's not an exciting time, it's terrifying - we're sleep walking into the end of civilisation as we know it, sat back on our soft sofas, drinking lattes, watching Netflix as the vast majority of the planet's population deals with all the crap we've done to get us here. (2/7)
Even as our lives get harder we can't even imagine how shit things are going to be for the less privileged 90% of the human race. I watch heroes getting arrested for desperately trying to get politicians to wake up and act urgently, whilst middle-aged white men hurl abuse.. (3/7)

The @ArvindKejriwal led-Delhi government lowered the legal drinking age from 25 years to 21 on Tuesday, March 23. Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said that the decision was aimed at ''stopping harassment of people and establishments''.
@ArvindKejriwal The legal age, however, in other states, are different. The legal drinking age in Maharashtra, Haryana and Chandigarh is 25. However, light beer is allowed at the age of 21 in Maharashtra. Kerala raised its drinking age from 21 to 23 years in 2017. I
@ArvindKejriwal In Rajasthan, Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Goa, Sikkim and Puducherry, the legal drinking age are 18. In other states, the age limit is 21.
It is always concerning, and disappointing, when an elected representative feels that is is acceptable to make unsubstantiated claims about people he neither knows nor has spoken to. @AlynSmith describes #LGBAlliance as "shadowy" 1/4

This is Cara's Story. **Names have been changed upon request and for protection**
Cara has gone through a lot as a child. Growing up she had difficulties in coping with traumatic experiences that she and her other family members both lived with and went through.
Cara has gone through a lot as a child. Growing up she had difficulties in coping with traumatic experiences that she and her other family members both lived with and went through.
Ever since she was on AISH, Cara and others we have talked to all recognized that all the AISH workers that our daughter and others have had to work with have always reinforced to their clients the lifelong message that many clients were unworthy of support, care & medical care.
Cara and her sister grew up in a home that had a mother with serious mental health diagnoses as well as an alcoholic father who left when Cara was 9 and her sister was 6.

"1of who knows how many" I started talking about the need to defeat the system the UK had set up to keep us prisoner in 2016. The additional member system ( a variation on D'Hondt) is designed to prevent a majority Government in Holyrood.
"2 of who knows how many" The plan I came up with was to create a Constituency party in West Scotland that would promote the SNP in the constituency, and seek votes only in the regional list. I have flirted with it on and off since then. Those who know me can verify.
"3 of who knows how many" We always play by Westminster rules and we always lose, and then curse our luck. Luck has fuck all to do with it. Playing them at their game, under their rules does not mean we also follow their instruction.

This tweet and the mention of #impostersyndrome has sparked some reflection on my part that I’d like to share. #LetsTalk
Topic: imposter syndrome being used by groups who typically hold power in academic/professional spaces
Topic: imposter syndrome being used by groups who typically hold power in academic/professional spaces
I’ve always seen imposter syndrome used in spaces of underrepresented minorities which makes complete sense. I’ve also seen the term used by white academics specifically on here and i just don’t know how to feel about it.
everyone to SOME extent can feel like they don’t belong. But how much of that is actually due to your identity vs the space you’re in?

For #BellLetsTalk day, #LetsTalk about Canadian photographers who experienced traumatic events while documenting the #FWW and #SWW 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
(Photograph is: Mud and barbed wire through which the Canadians advanced during the Battle of Passchendaele. W. Rider-Rider, November 1917, LAC MIKAN 3194807).
Canada's earliest #FWW photographer, Harry Knobel, experienced stress during the first months of the war. He was a member of the 1st Canadian Contingent whose medical records note that he began experiencing “neurasthenia” or “trench fever” as early as November 1915.
