Need something to power you through the end of the work week? Me and my pal Matt chat about the ups and downs of mental health and access to therapy/counselling on episode 15 of @CrazyTalk_pod anchor.fm/natasha-barrett1/e… #FridayThoughts #FridayFeeIing #MentalHealthAwareness #Podcast
I’m sure we can all agree that no worthwhile work is done by writers, artists, academics, dancers, poets, actors and musicians who earn less than £30,000 a year. Glad someone is doing something to relieve the burden this places on the cultural and intellectual life of our nation. – at Lewisham, London

4 reasons for using #climatebreakdown, not climate change: 1. It better conveys the extent of the problem 2. People don't say "So what? The climate's always breaking down" 3. It makes an implicit connection with the impact on our minds 4. It suggests that we can fix it.

McDonald’s leader Ronald just stated he has a “burger on his desk at all times”. Will someone from his big shoed, red nosed regime inform him that I too have a burger on my desk, but mine is a box meal which is bigger and more powerful than his, and mine has gravy! #nuclearbutton
