Ladies, unless it’s your *specific* job, never EVER run around for your male colleagues. Ever. I know it’s awkward when you’re young and new to a job but just say “no”. 👎

[Alex Beverley @MsAlexBev]

Is @nadhimzahawi being intentionally disingenuous? Self isolating due to contracting #COVID19 is not absenteeism, the word you’re looking for is absence - or is this an intentional ideological use of language?

@FarahKHussain @RedbridgeLive You’ve done an amazing job and someone will have very big shoes to fill - look forward to seeing what your next chapter is Farah x

[Doomscrolling Reminder Bot @doomscroll_bot]

hi, are you doomscrolling? Our bodies were not designed to be this anxious and stressed for so long. How about going to sleep early tonight? You still deserve time to rest and recover.

[Alex Beverley @MsAlexBev]

So, so, so tired of #COVID19, this government, the state of our politics, our public services creaking and falling over under the weight of austerity followed by a pandemic, some of the most vulnerable people being repeatedly thrown under various buses - I go to sleep now?

[Alex Beverley @MsAlexBev]

Not seeing any problems here 🤦🏻‍♀️

Working hard or hardly working?? While the rest of us had been stuck in our houses for 2 months

"This is sometimes said by people who have no understanding of health at all... and when they say it, it's usually because they want to make a political point." “That is an inversion of reality” 🔥🔥🔥🔥 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Prof Chris Whitty

Remember: your boss can’t just send you home with no pay, if you're on a permanent/fixed contract.

Even if there is no work.

If it happens, contact a union representative or employment lawyer.

Your best protection is to join a union. Together, we are always stronger.

Such a loss to the world, if you haven’t read any of bell hooks work now’s the time to fix that

💯 this

[Aisha Nicole Malik-Smith @ANMalikSmith]

Placing the burden on individuals to limit their social interactions is not only cruel to keyworkers and the hospitality sector, completely unsustainable without furlough and decent SSP, but the anxiety and uncertainty of it all is so very damaging for everyone's mental health.

[Alex Beverley @MsAlexBev]

So, so tired and it feels like we’ve learned very little. Chris Whitty looks like he’s being held hostage & the Gov are using “saving Christmas” as an excuse not to provide support to businesses most effected 🤦🏻‍♀️ https://t.co/jechiuCdRU

@RoshanaMN Unlocking us and Dare to Lead by @BreneBrown

[Alex Beverley @MsAlexBev]

2 years ago today was the 2019 general election. I was and will always be proud to have stood for Labour values. In the last 2 years there have been so many missed opportunities to build a humane, compassionate and fair society that protects & lifts up the most vulnerable.

[Alex Beverley @MsAlexBev]

Another 🧵 from @HZiauddeen that’s an essential read for those in #NHS #MentalHealth care - the failure of patients diagnosed with #BPD/ #EUPD/ complex #PTSD (disproportionately women) is horrific, lacking compassion & costs ppl their lives

🧵 The problematic diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)

BPD (aka EUPD, emotionally unstable PD) is arguably the most stigmatised diagnosis (Dx) in MHservices and in the general hospital.

This 🧵is going to cover some of the problems with this Dx.
