How to protect your mental health:
- Go for a nice walk
- Take time for yourself
- Shout about the importance of mental health infrastructure within health services so we can actually get help and not just have brands telling us it's ok to not be ok
- Scream
#MentalHealthDay

My three hunger modes, deeply inspired by ADHD.
1) I’m so hungry I feel sick but I also hate all food.
2) I’m not really hungry but the 6 snacks I had clearly weren’t the correct ones
3) Bit more cheese.

How to falsify a consultation on imperial measures
1. Don't publicise it much
2. Ask loaded questions, with no status quo option
3. Supply it as an ODT file
4. Require people to scan and email it, or print and snail mail it
Please make the effort anyway!

Many people seem to be quite fragile right now—not in the sense of being weak in character but rather in the sense of being so drained and depleted that their defenses are brittle and shatter easily.
Please be kind to yourselves and one another. This is all very, very hard.

i've deleted or saved the entire weekend's worth of exhausted and confused tweets, so this will have to suffice:
bloodlust is not a mason. it may have many hammers. it may have many stones. but never be mistaken that it is the same as doing masonry.

Happening tomorrow! Find your local protest against TUI’s role in providing deportation flights. We’ll be heading to the Wood Green protest after our Green Lanes stall

Mwahahah! We, the two halves of @ma_carrick, have taken over the Portal Bookshop account! It's your chance to ask us questions about THE MASK OF MIRRORS (con artist caper political intrigue fantasy extraordinaire) . . . or anything else!

Time for @C_L_Clark now, Cherae has all the answers to all your burning questions, get over to @PortalBookshop before 4pm(bst) to ask everything!
And a quick changing of the guards! Hi everyone, I’m C.L. Clark, queer author of the very queer novel #TheUnbroken! Ask me anything! Like why are French Fries the best food group? And why are sword lesbians awesome? What should you read this summer? Etc etc. I might have answers!

She may have already, multiple times. Asking over and over again for people to help with things is another kind of labour (emotional labour) harpersbazaar.com/culture/fe…

Two days ago, I decided to stop doing the dishes. I make all the dinners and I am tired of having to do all the cleaning too. SINCE THEN this pile has appeared and at some point they are going to run out of spoons and cups and plates.
Who will blink first? Not me.

PRO TIP FOR PEOPLE STRUGGLING WITH ANXIETY:
I have found it very beneficial to my mental health, especially my anxiety, to not be in a pandemic

Okay, I heard a silly joke and now I want to share it:
Q: Why did the non-binary prospector move out west?
A: Because there’s gold in them/their hills

Hey this is an absolute fucking disgrace
Excl: Home Office put refugees in barracks after fears better housing would ‘undermine confidence’ in system
Internal docs reveal govt justified placing asylum seekers in military camps bc more ‘generous’ housing would damage public perception of system independent.co.uk/news/uk/ho…

Context: the below is about Napier Barracks, UK. We have fucked up our duty of care to our refugees so badly.
100+ sick with Covid, no on site doctor, no heat, no electric, extra blankets refused by guards, and likewise attempted refusal of an ambulance.

If you're looking around at your mess and feeling some despair about it, quick reminder that you are NOT the only one who lives like this, that messy homes are super common, and lots of people have piles of stuff that have been there for months or years and not been dealt with.

A bit of googling and I found there's things called Virtual (Treadmills) Walks! Not a photograph, but instead video, and they seem pretty cool.
