The way you treat me is telling me who you are. How I respond is now telling you who I am

Notice where he begins, not with the world around them, but with the ground within them.

Before there is a harvest, there must be some ploughing.

Today is #WorldSuicidePreventionDay. Individuals, families, workplaces, schools, healthcare providers, communities, and governments all have a role to play in creating environments that prioritize mental well-being and access to care.

Suicide prevention is everyone's responsibility. Together, we can change the narrative and save lives.

[The Lancet @TheLancet]

What we eat, where we live and how we work have long been understood as determinants of health. But what we scroll, what algorithms feed us and how platforms are designed are determinants of health too.

Worrying does not take away tomorrows troubles. It takes away todays peace.

...What about next time I'm about to judge my nearest and dearest harshly for hurting my feelings in one way or another? Can I do the same for them? Cast them as the protagonist in their own story, rather than as an accessory to mine?

Anything that can remind me that at all times, other people are existing and their experience is as fully felt as my own, is useful. Music and literature take me straight into someone else's experience, and straight out of my own.
- Kae Tempest

[Gary Quashie @GaryQuashie]

An inability to notice one's own behaviour contributes to the apparent infallibility of the tropes of our day.

If we can't even notice violence in ourselves, let alone root it out, how can we expect to dismantle it in the culture at large?

To be really useful to the connective power of the text, rather than interrogators, we must be conductors... We are not impartial observers; we are a fundamental part of the circuitry; if we are not connected, the charge will not be able to flow.

[Gary Quashie @GaryQuashie]

A story doesn't cultivate empathy just by virtue of it's having been thought up; it must be engaged with to become powerful; the story must be read, the song must be listened to, in order to acquire it's full charge.

...after the conception and safe passage to adulthood, your part in their future is reduced to a backstory. They must become who they are... They will be new in whoever encounters them...

“What a privilege it is to be exhausted by an ambition of your own choosing.”

[Gary Quashie @GaryQuashie]

We are empathetic beings who feel for each other. Our very success as a species is rooted in our ability to be aware of each other's needs, to notice each other's pain and to experience deeply felt physiological and emotional empathy.

The internet... It is the multi-voice of the conscious. But it cannot represent the collective subconscious.

[Gary Quashie @GaryQuashie]

People respond differently to things. People have different things to respond to. I am no one to judge how someone has come to a conclusion. I am no one to judge what conclusions someone has come to. I do not want to change minds anymore. I just want to connect.
