My dad died yesterday aged 73. I wasn’t sure whether to share this but if it brings attention to an illness too few people understand, perhaps it belongs here.

A London cabbie & lifelong Spurs supporter, he was there for every one of my brothers’ and his grandsons’ football matches. I once represented him at the Carriage Office for bad driving; I loved him but the prosecution had a case…

My parents divorced when I was little so I did not grow up with him at home. We were very different men. I loved opera and all its drama; he loved Tottenham and cigarettes. We both took people as we found them and we both loved women, though in rather different ways. I never once doubted his pride in me. When I came out he responded with magnificent indifference: I was still his son, there was nothing else to discuss.

In the last years of his life Jewish Care became his home, a place where dignity and tenderness were practised every day. Walid and Tosin, among so many others there, cared for him and came to kiss him goodbye. A Jewish man, held in his final days by people of different faiths: a quiet reminder that what is sacred in us is also what we share. He died with his family around him, loved and held to the last.

Funny, beautifully flawed, loving and my dad.

Lewy body dementia took him far too young. It made the familiar strange and the certain uncertain. Dementia can obscure a person but it does not erase them. At least one in ten people living with dementia has Lewy body’s, around 125,000 people in the UK yet it remains poorly understood, frequently missed & desperately under-researched. Please learn its name, learn its signs and if you can support the work to change that.

Around 30 people perished from immediate blast trauma and acute radiation syndrome (ARS) in the seconds to months following the Chernobyl disaster in April 1986.

Eight months after the nuclear accident, workers made a startling discovery.

Upon entering a corridor beneath the damaged No. 4 reactor, they found a black, lava-like substance flowing from the reactor core, resembling a man-made volcano.

Among these hardened masses, one stood out and was nicknamed "Elephant's Foot" due to its resemblance to the foot of a large mammal.

The Elephant's Foot is a solid mass of melted nuclear fuel mixed with concrete, sand, and core sealing material.

At the time of its discovery, the Elephant's Foot was emitting approximately 8,000 to 10,000 roentgens, or 80 to 100 grays, per hour, delivering a lethal dose of radiation (4.5 grays) within just five minutes.

Working exclusively under the cover of darkness, this mysterious, unnamed street artist from Brescia, Italy quietly restores walls that have been marked up with graffiti back to their original state. What's your take on someone like him?

[This Account Makes You Happy @FeelYouHappy]

He just wanted to take a photo next to a luxury car, but suddenly the owner spotted him.

Feeling caught, he tried to leave, but the owner, instead of getting upset, surprised him with an act of kindness: he invited him for a ride, they shared a meal, and they lived an unforgettable moment.

Because true humanity knows no differences or boundaries. ❤️

🇯🇵🎣 Au Japon, ils ont littéralement transformé la pêche hivernale en activité ultra-confortable.

La pêche au wakasagi, un petit poisson proche de l’éperlan, se pratique notamment à bord de « dome-bune », des bateaux entièrement fermés et chauffés.

Pas besoin de rester dehors dans le froid : les pêcheurs s’installent sur une chaise et font descendre directement leurs lignes à travers des ouvertures aménagées dans le plancher du bateau. Certains bateaux disposent même de toilettes, micro-ondes et boissons chaudes.

WHEN A CHILD IS FALLING APART, REMEMBER: LESS TALK. MORE CALM.

When a child or teen is having huge emotions, intense anxiety, or is on the edge of a panic attack, our instinct is often to talk MORE.

We explain.
We reassure.
We ask questions.
We give advice.
We try to convince them everything is okay.

But in that moment, they may not need a better explanation.

They need to borrow your calm.

Remember the 4 S’s:
-SOFT
-SLOW
-SHORT
-SAFE

🗣️ SOFT — Lower your voice.
Not louder. Not firmer. Softer. Your tone can communicate safety before your words ever do.

🐢 SLOW — Slow everything down.
Your voice. Your movements. Your breathing. Your questions. Their nervous system is speeding up. Yours doesn’t have to join it.

🤫 SHORT — Use fewer words.
An overwhelmed brain may struggle to process a lecture, a bunch of questions, or complicated directions.

Try:
💙 “I’m right here.”
🫶 “You’re safe with me.”
⏳ “Take your time.”
❤️ “We don’t have to solve this right now.”
1️⃣ “One thing at a time.”
🌬️ “Breathe with me.”

🛟 SAFE — Be the safe person, not the problem solver.
Sit nearby. Give them space. Reduce noise and stimulation. Don’t demand eye contact. Don’t argue with the emotion. And please don’t keep saying, “Calm down.”

Help their BODY feel safe first.

Then talk.

Because when someone is drowning in a big emotion, they usually don’t need us standing on shore explaining how to swim.

They need us to help them get their head above water. 🛟

So next time a child, teen—or honestly, an adult—is overwhelmed, remember:
🗣️ SOFT.
🐢 SLOW.
🤫 SHORT.
🛟 SAFE.

You don’t need the perfect words.

❤️ Sometimes your calm IS the intervention.

🔖 SAVE THIS for the moment you need it.

❤️ SHARE it with a parent, teacher, coach, counselor, or anyone who works with kids.

🧠⚡ AuDHD makes me a living paradox: fast thinker, slow processor. Craving stimulation, needing calm. Wannabe social, desperate for alone time. Hyperfocused yet distracted. Overflowing with ideas, but struggling to start. 🥴
