Trigger warning - suicide
.

“What if a conversation about suicide could save a life?”
Through work, I attended the launch of this incredibly moving and profound public campaign yesterday. Encouraging people to normalise conversations around
Suicide is a topic that makes many of us nervous; it can feel like the hardest thing in the world.
But talking about suicide is the best way to prevent it from happening.
This is the start of our country’s biggest ever conversation about suicide. 💙

It’s not an easy conversation, but an essential one.
What an inspiring, sensitive and hopeful start to a national campaign to support Suicide Prevention Scotland and the COSLA and Scottish Government suicide prevention strategy Creating Hope Together.
Please stay safe out there. Don’t underestimate the severity of the warnings. Take care - and remember to look out for other folks if you’re able to!

The sustainability of Scotland’s public services is under threat without a clear and costed vision for reform.
@scotgov has not been transparent enough with the Scottish Parliament or the public about the risks public services are facing.

Or, you can just have a dog escape - the storage on my devices was creaking under the weight of videos, so I was clearing out and found a few good times. Some of which are here. youtube.com/watch?v=pgOCNHv8…
Fun times with the Weeman tonight. Down to Glasgow and back to see his favourite band @TheLaFontaines - 7 hour round trip, worth it for a happy boy! Life’s too short…have the adventures!
