Goodbye! Now on BlueSky.

[Dr Graham Wilson CF @drgrahamwilson]

@KiteFSTVL terrible sound control. John major and Joan Collins drowned out by over loud rubbish from an adjacent band. Turn it down, please¡

[Dr Graham Wilson CF @drgrahamwilson]

@TheElders I so hope that you will invite Jacinda Ardern into your fold.

[Dr Graham Wilson CF @drgrahamwilson]

@Broadcasms Yes. Without a doubt and at some of the weirdest times, yet the triggers seem to be pretty consistent.

So sad... Such a tremendous leader, inspirational in so many ways. He will leave a huge gap in the heats of Al who had the privilege to know him. RIP Jaswant.

With respect, @NatalieElphicke suicide ceased to be a crime in E&W in 1961. People who are desperate do not 'commit' it.

Interesting point...

[Professor Christopher Painter @PrfChrisPainter]

My youngest grandson is just three years of age. He's lived through two monarchs, three Prime Ministers, exit from the EU, a pandemic, a war in Europe and an energy crisis.

[Dr Graham Wilson CF @drgrahamwilson]

I suspect that the figure quoted is a significant underestimate...

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

Today is #WorldSuicidePreventionDay
An estimated 703,000 people a year take their life around the world.

For every suicide, there are likely 20 other people making a suicide attempt and many more have serious thoughts of suicide.

#BeTheLight and prevent suicide.

There's a few areas where it appears to have shifted, the legal being one, but those professions still report obscene levels of sexual harassment and bias at more junior levels. /2 end

[Dr Graham Wilson CF @drgrahamwilson]

Unfortunately, though, it also applies to postal workers, police officers, ambulance technicians, nurses, midwives, medical practitioners, soldiers, sailors, pilots, mechanics. /1

[Dr Graham Wilson CF @drgrahamwilson]

It is hard to imagine what that might be, but think on the scale of an industrial or political revolution, the aftermath of a war, or an epidemic more substantial even than COVID. Until then, I suspect that we must just keep chipping away. /3 end

[Dr Graham Wilson CF @drgrahamwilson]

Sadly, I think such mental association is due to the coming together of several cognitive biases. Some professions (especially those with uniforms) seem particularly prone to it, and attempts to change the descriptive noun just don't seem to be working. /1

[Dr Graham Wilson CF @drgrahamwilson]

Public perception isn't helped when the evidence suggests that some of those so-called 'professions' are highly misogynistic too. At present, most attempts to change this try to chip away but, I fear, that it will only stop with a major, rapid societal shift. /2
