So much about the immigration and asylum system is just completely unknown to people day to day. Some examples:

The #triathlon is basically like a series of stress nightmares - you fall into the river; you race to get changed; you're running through the streets in your swimming costume with everyone watching you

[Brendan May @bmay]

No idea how yesterday happened. None at all.

#BMXRacing at the Olympics is properly bonkers! I think one of the French guys threw his bike into the crowd when he won?! #Olympics

[Emma 🏀👩🏽‍💻 @EmmaTurnerBA]

obsessed with the finish line in the men’s triathlon, it’s like a renaissance piece

[Jen @jenabeba]

Sad to be missing the #triathlon this morning (watching, not competing 😆) Although slightly worried there may not be many competitors left after the bike race - it’s slippy out there!

[Jen @jenabeba]

@PoppyCocktails Me neither - I thought I’d worked it out and identified who it was, but nope, I was wrong!! 😃

[Jen @jenabeba]

@PoppyCocktails Currently reading Missing, Presumed by Susie Steiner - have you read it? Enjoying it so far!

[Jen @jenabeba]

@DoriHiggins This is glorious!

[Jen @jenabeba]

@PoppyCocktails I’m sorry. Days like that are really rubbish - especially a few in a row. Pizza is often the answer, though!

[Jen @jenabeba]

This is lovely!

A group of 9-12 year old kids from a community centre in Cork met up with kids living in refugee accommodation nearby.
They made this track, & it’s gone viral; 📺 watch, & see why.

@DoriHiggins I love that!

[Jen @jenabeba]

@PoppyCocktails I was lucky that I did have a mum who told me what was happening re periods etc - but lots of children don’t. And nature doesn’t always wait until secondary school!

[Jen @jenabeba]

@PoppyCocktails Agree x a million. I was 9 - we need to understand what’s happening.

@DanyeleHig Amazing! I live for this day!! 😆

A distressed deer races to his home
And a stunned and silent swan
Wild turkeys stand as still as stone
Benjamin has gone.

. @MilitaryBanter is an incredibly powerful account to follow right now. They are sharing photos and stories of those military people who should be remembered this November. A shocking (to me, maybe not to others) number of people who have taken their own life after serving.
