And now male suicide rates reach a two decade high.

[Dr Rosena @DrRosena]

I challenged the shameful track record of the Health Secretary.

During the first 3 months of lockdown, the Health Sec didn't meet with any mental health trusts or organisations.

This, while millions faced uncertainty around the wellbeing of them and their loved ones.

If leaving you
was as easy
as the falling
in love
with
a
total stranger

-not total

our blackness
a bond
before speech
or encounter

I could walk
from you now
into the hustle
and bustle
of Waverley
station
and checking
my ticket
-depart.

The proportion of mothers responsible for 90 to 100% of childcare has soared from 27% to 45% during the lockdown. Around 72% of mothers say they are the “default” parent all or most of the time.#GenderInequalities #Coronavirus https://t.co/VGiuXXs0gk

Boris Johnson does have a strategy on racism after all. It's called a ‘war on woke' https://t.co/ToECaS33Qq

Is it like some posh version of using the term ‘guys’ - a 21st century example of how language is by default male. Drives me mad!

"It's not for the black person to be more open-minded. It's for the white person to be less racist."

Here are nine books to help us understand more about racism, the #BlackLivesMatter movement, and antiracism.

Only a week ago, heavily armed white protesters were allowed to storm state capitols to protest for the ability to go to the gym or get a haircut.

But when Black people protest in defense of our humanity, we are tear-gassed and met with state violence.

Today we launch our new report with @NatCen on young women, self-harm and poverty, highlighting that the long-term rise in self-harm and mental health problems in young women is about more than social media, it’s about poverty too. Read more: https://t.co/eMs88ZRYFS #GirlsSpeak

We are likely to lose hard won ground on gender equality. Perhaps it even shows how fragile that progress was. @The_WLN @CEWild1

Mothers’ work patterns have diverged from fathers’ in #lockdown.

1⃣ They're more likely to have lost their job, or to have been furloughed
2⃣ Their working hours have fallen more, proportionally
3⃣ Their work time is interrupted more often by childcare
