Italian rhythmic gymnast Sofia Raffaeli is truly out of this world.

Just listen to the crowd erupt as she delivers a breathtaking, sublime performance.

Fear is not your permanent address. It cannot stay forever unless you hand it the keys.

[Thomas H. 💙 @THemingford]

Too many people still imagine welfare benefits are generous because the media focuses on sensational stories instead of reality. In truth,disabled people and carers are on rates that are profoundly inadequate for modern living costs and disability-related expenses.

This is one of my favorite memories of my mom, dancing to the Bee Gees at 91 years old, with her portable oxygen and her beautiful smile. Graceful, joyful, strong, and full of life until the very end. I miss her every single day. Happy Heavenly Birthday Mom! 👩 😍

Wise words from this young woman!

“Twice this week, I have watched an elderly individual, fade into the busy life in which we all live. One man just needed Panadol for his wife but the shop assistant simply said it’s in aisle ‘6’. But he struggled to navigate the supermarket and as I watched him go in the wrong direction, I left all my groceries and took him where he needed to go.”

“Today, I watched an elderly man struggle in the heat, who had obviously had a fall with a huge scrape and blood on his leg. He walked past people in the cafe, while he slowly made his way to his car. Not one person stopped. Or looked. Or acknowledged him. I took him to his car and checked he was ok. He told me he had a fall and wasn’t sure how the air con worked in his car so he just didn’t use it. I sat with him, until his air con kicked in and heard him talk about the old frail body that he is in, that fails him now, every single day.”

“When you see an elderly person walking down the street, searching in the supermarket or struggling to their car, take a minute out of your busy schedule and ask them if they need a hand. Think about your grand parents and your parents and how pissed you would be if someone didn’t stop to help them. But more, think of them as you.”

“Once upon a time they were you. They were busy, they had work, they had children, they were able. Today, they are just in an older body that is not going as fast as it used to and this busy life is confusing. They deserve our utmost respect and consideration. One day it will be you, it will be us. I wish more people gave a shit about them and acknowledged them for their admirable existence and jeez I hope someday, not that far away, someone does it for me.”

🚨 BREAKING: half of people in the UK have lost access to community spaces - with families in the most deprived areas losing them fastest.

Parks, libraries, leisure centres are essential for our mental and physical health.

We all need places to connect. Especially when life is tough.

Rightwing newspapers are trying to run a smear campaign against Misan Harriman. We can't let them.

Add your name to the open letter, and stand against hate and division 👇

This was the last text I ever received from my 34 year old Son, Edward. It was exactly a year ago today.

Within hours he was gone. He decided he wasn't "OK" and he took his own life just after midnight.

He was fighting on many fronts- Relationship problems, financial worry and issues with self esteem.

I think about him 100 times a day. I'd do anything to get him back, even if it was just for 5 minutes.

I'd say all the things to him that I didn't say when I had the opportunity. It's too late now.

Please take care of your loved ones. Watch over them. Many are struggling. Many are thinking dark thoughts. Many will take the decision to end their own suffering.

They need help and understanding. They probably won't get it from the "system" so it may be up to you.

Give someone a call today to ask how they're doing. Tell them Edward suggested it.
