Life is short. Too short, honestly. Everything you engage in should serve a purpose. Don’t let the distraction around you make you lose focus. Remember, time lost is never regained.

[Mandi Purvis @MandiPurvis1]

@wendyampodd So sorry Wendy, that’s such tragic news. Sending love and healing ❤️

[Mufti Menk @muftimenk]

Do yourself a favour. Surround yourself with those who speak of visions, ideas, goals, growth. Not those who sit and gossip about others. And if you do find yourself in that situation, excuse yourself and walk away. The game ends when you choose to leave such a gathering.

[Professor Claire Hopkins @SnotSurgeon]

Spot the difference.... delighted to take part in an interview on BBC breakfast this morning with my colleague. We are both Professors and Consultant ENT surgeons.....why don’t we get treated in the same way?

"One of the many reasons I love the University of Sunderland so much is for how accepting they are. From personal experiences, I can say that the University has been extremely accepting and helpful throughout my transition." #TransgenderAwarenessWeek

If you use a computer or smartphone and are transphobic, you are the biggest hypocrite ever.

They would not exist without a trans woman. #TransAwarenessWeek

We are extremely disappointed to read this letter from the Headteacher of Sunderland's Richard Avenue Primary School that has singled out and appears to have been sent to the Bengali community only. @Richard_Avenue

You don’t have to apologise if the answer is no! Be upfront & honest when you say it. Do it for self-care. Many can’t say no because they don’t want to appear rude or ill-mannered; & they’re concerned about the opinion of others. This is harmful behaviour. You’ve got to stop it!

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

Wear a mask. Wash your hands. Vote out Donald Trump.

[Mufti Menk @muftimenk]

People will have an opinion of you & there is nothing you can do about it. It’s become easier to do that especially hiding behind the keyboard. It requires no accountability, no understanding. How about we cultivate empathy instead; the ability to feel what others are feeling?

[Mandi Purvis @MandiPurvis1]

@scottalastair22 You are really going through it at the moment 😢and it’s okay to feel sad. Keep talking and give yourself some time. My inbox is always open.

[Mandi Purvis @MandiPurvis1]

Looking forward to my masters journey which starts tomorrow! More book buying! @OfInequality @sunderlanduni

[Mufti Menk @muftimenk]

Choose peace over attention. Today, many crave attention that sometimes they do it at the expense of what is priceless. Yes. Peace. You often see the most mundane detail of someone’s life on social media, expecting likes & comments. Stay away from the fray. Maintain your dignity.

Congratulations to @sunderlanduni for being named University of The Year for Social Inclusion by @thetimes / @thesundaytimes's Good University Guide 2021! Very proud to be the Chancellor of such a great establishment 🏆

@scottalastair22 You’re human and need that in return...the human touch. Sending good vibes your way❤️
