@RevolutApp Hi Revolut, I need to urgently speak to a human. Please. Your online chat team have given me conflicting information and can’t answer an important question regarding my pay. Please advise asap. it’s stressful being stonewalled on a chat and having no option to call.

When I lost my darling dad in my 20s, it struck me how poorly we deal with grief as a society. People try to make you you feel better, but all you want to hear is: “This really sux”. I wrote this little piece with some tips for supporting others:

Lockdowns during the Covid-19 pandemic inspired us to spread kindness, uplifting one another in the face of a crisis. But is such altruism sustainable in the long term?https://t.co/7j3vlf3rqR

Talia saw how we could change the world using #FMNR when in Kenya with her mum, our superstar ambassador @melissadoyle. She told @morningshowon7 'Climate's a pressing issue for my generation. Seeing David’s farm and how green it was in such a dry country was incredible.'

My heart is heavy with the recent news of #NovaKakhova dam's destruction and flooding that affected thousands of #Ukraine's population near the #DniproRiver. The impact on children's lives and future is heartbreaking. This needs to stop; lives must be saved.

Would you move in with mates at 50, 60, 70… or even 80?
Seems interest rate rises are driving more people to house share later in life.

When I first started at @WorldVisionAus four years ago, I was told the work of one of our staff members to reforest the world could be seen from space! The man was Tony Rinaudo. Excited to see #FMNR scale up, this really could help slow climate change.

ICYMI: A climate solution pioneered by World Vision's very own Tony Rinaudo has featured in a fantastic story on @9NewsSyd. Tony reveals our bold plan to restore 1 billion ha of forest over 10 years, and remove up to 25% carbon from the atmosphere through #FMNR.

With #CycloneMocha threatening the world's biggest refugee camp #CoxsBazar, it's timely to revisit a searing insight into life there. "More than 40,000 people per sq km coexist in the camps, compared to Sydney with its 407 people per sq km." https://t.co/KtBH9GMoOW
