Really really nervous that we appear to be tearing up all guidance on reporting around suicide. One of most dangerous tropes we can promulgate is that death will allow people to repent and see error, allowing deceased to be reframed as heroic and set family free
Hello @on_lothianbuses , bus stop in need of repair at Edinburgh College Milton Road East, city bound direction. The flap where timetable would have been is loose and blows open in wind
Multiple police officers are being removed from their positions across the country after they were caught using Flock cameras to stalk and track their own family members.
American citizens are demanding that Flock cameras be removed by "any means necessary."
"They're unconstitutional, and they have to pay us for our data."
"We're becoming a police state. We've got to stop it."
Scotland fans have donated nearly $30,000 to charities in Providence as a thank you for welcoming them for their World Cup matches.
• $10,000 to the children's hospital cancer unit
• $10,000 to soccer for underprivileged kids

Celebrities, rich people and ex-prime ministers should not make health policy. Prostate cancer screening is just not as simple as some are making out. There are real harms caused when people are treated unnecessarily.

Some parts of the UK have had almost double their average February rainfall in the first 9 days of the month.
The City of Aberdeen has had 180% of its average February rainfall so far.
With the relentless rain, Aberdeen hasn't seen any sunshine for almost three weeks.
Wondering where the sunshine has gone?
Spare a thought for northeast Scotland; Aberdeen Dyce hasn't recorded any sunshine since 21 January! This is provisionally the longest sunless period here since records began in 1957 ☁️
When we’re grieving it’s hard to believe that we will get through it, but if we take our time we will find a way. However lonely it feels please know you are not alone.

Do you have a will AND a Power of Attorney. If not they're crucial. Do listen to the pod.
Especially PoAs, if you have an accident, severe strokes early dementia etc & lose capacity, without a PoA don't assume anyone can take over your finances, even to keep your mortgage paid, or pay for your care. Your money can be left in nightmare limbo!
