1/ One of most important things I've learned:

Severe personality problems find *camouflage.* No one thinks “I’m a sadist” or “I'm a malignant narcissist.”

They find a belief system/social group that validates their most hateful, destructive impulses & construes them as virtues.

It's Children's Mental Health week 2024. The theme is Your Voice Matters.

I’d like to highlight the many ways in which children express their voice. For they don’t always talk or communicate in the ways that we expect.

They often express their voice through their behaviour. Sometimes loudly, chaotically, erratically, childishly. They might communicate with us by refusing to do something, or by being increasingly disruptive. Their voice is often inconvenient for adults, who would prefer it if they kept quiet.

Children show us how they feel  and what they think all the time, but if adults don’t deem that to be appropriate then they are dismissed and sometimes punished for using their voice.

This children's mental health week, let's not put the onus on children by telling them to use their words, let's put the onus on adults to really listen.

As we all know, Parky was from Yorkshire, as was David Bowie's dad.

This is a corker 👊

An utterly devastating and shaming judgment from the President of the family division on the dire plight of our most vulnerable and disturbed children, who need a secure placement, put simply, to save their lives. There aren't nearly enough. And the government doesn't care.

🧵On complicated grief: losing someone who should have been close but wasn’t

For those of us who've lost people who should have been loved ones but didn’t really love one,
Who’ve lost parents, siblings, (sometimes children), and spouses, who were uncaring, and abusive.

I’ve worked in A&E for 22 years & seen nothing like this before.

The NHS is in a critical state. We need urgent action for sake of our staff & patients.

@SteveBarclay @RishiSunak we need you to listen to those who know what’s happening.

To get them to listen, pls retweet

Wasn't expecting this when the tributes started flowing.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing, following a brief illness, of Terry, our beautiful friend, brother and one of the most brilliant singers, songwriters and lyricists this country has ever produced. (1/4)

Here are the best albums and singles of 1981, according to the writers at the NME. Arguably the best year ever for singles, which I've put in this playlist
