Hi, I'm v new to bsky. I'm a PhD student focusing on harm in UK mental health services, & I would like to hear about your experiences of harm in services between 2010-2025. (Mental health services includes NHS, charities, companies, private therapists & other orgs) 1/7 tinyurl.com/yt2ydvxx

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

BREAKING Dr. Jane Goodall has died. She was 91. It is impossible to sum up the impact she has had on our world and on science in a social media post. She lived a long and incredible life but I am devastated. Full Story: bit.ly/4pPcNFH

Bye bye @bsky.app you can Fck the Fck off with my face scan etc .. I’ll be starting up on Mastodon again in time …

What football?

One of my favourite bands Texas Sharleen is a sweary Fecker

Yes it was flippin freezing Scarborough…

I keep thinking about what Michael Wolff said in his book about Giuliani: that once you lose the respect of people you always feared had disdain for you, you can really go to town on being what you previously thought of as your worst self, really roll in the shit and gulp it down smiling and free

Ministers have published research they have been sitting on for more than a year showing how the proportion of disabled people in financial difficulty doubled in 2 years, days after MPs voted for £2 billion-a-year cuts to out-of-work disability benefits www.disabilitynewsservice.com/number-of-di...

The Universal Credit Bill has passed. The Motion of Regret did not. I am heartbroken. We got powerful truths spoken in the Lords which may help later in legal and public fights. But.... What is this thing called Labour. Not something I morally recognise Love to all x

🧵Introducing the Trump Action Tracker website! Today I’m launching www.trumpactiontracker.info - a live, searchable list of authoritarian‑style actions from Trump’s second term (over 740 actions so far). 1/14

‘As women we are expected to not complain too much, ‘put up and shut up’ and if we do need help, ask for it ‘appropriately’ which doesn’t include harming ourselves, even though our needs often go unnoticed anyway.’ Always to the point and so right @suzypuss.bsky.social

ABBA museum oh what a wonderful place Stockholm is

Not sure this is very ethical or sensible but to say you can ignore your care team and look for a job and they work into the community and EIS seems very wrong. Pressuring people into work ??? !!!

A recycling sort of day .. gave away cushions a bin a jigsaw roll mat on freecycle and got some free flowers and went skip diving for some slates for the garden .. simple things

I guess this is the end for everyone who wants to use this site anonymously for their own safety. My advice is to join Mastodon, no one cares who you are over there as long as you’re funny

This is dystopian, & could lead to a situation where it’s almost impossible to get time off work if you’re seriously unwell & almost impossible to get disability benefits in the first place. www.lbc.co.uk/news/health/...

I’m ashamed to live in a country that just passed a welfare bill condemning hundreds of thousands to deeper poverty and despair. I’m ashamed of a Labour government that refused to work WITH disabled people to build a benefits system based on dignity, not punishment. #BinUCBill

My new friend

I know everyone is exhausted, but if you can possibly bear it, please pop on this link, copy and paste the email, and get it sent to your MP today. There’s a link here + MP address: docs.google.com/document/d/e... #BinUCBill

The latest NHS England guidance on suicide risk assessment recommends setting aside traditional risk assessments across all mental health services in England —

CONJECTURE: So basically as we know the 4+ rule is dead. The Timms review will be from August and take months. That puts back any PIP changes at all from November 2026 to a later date. Worse case scenario is late 2027 for BEGINNING PIP changes but would take ⏰ to roll out.

The 4s may not need to be with you after all. Huge Labour back down. Let’s be clear this doesn’t make the bill acceptable by any means. But is massively weakens it. #TakingThePIP

Where in the world am I ?

substack.com/inbox/post/1... "The question isn’t whether disabled people deserve support-it's who gets to count as disabled [...] [Labour government's welfare reform is largely based on] a rule designed to exclude cumulative, fluctuating conditions [like mental health conditions]..."

A MESSAGE FOR MPs. As a consultant clinical psychologist, I must be clear: this Green Paper will cost lives, deepen despair, and worsen inequality. Vote no to #DisabilityBenefits cuts.

Force 9 gales it’s fun staggering around the ship and we have a wave pool

Brilliant. Martin Lewis destroying the defence minister on Good Morning Britain. ‘Minister can I interrupt you. You keep talking about getting people into work… but PIP is not an out-of-work benefit. I don’t know why you keep talking about getting people back to work’. #TakingThePIP

Rumours +++ Starmer is preparing to delay Tuesday’s vote to win over MPs by offering concessions. They’re so desperate that one signee to the reasoned amendment was called by three cabinet ministers yesterday!! We need to make sure this doesn’t end in fudge concessions.

I’d written a few times to my MP and I’m guessing many others. I’m so pleased she’s signed the amendment petition

My daughter just got a promotion at work she’s employed by Parkinson’s charity … very proud parent

Just entered the Arctic Circle and a couple from the past couple of days .. it’s getting a wee bit nippy and 24/7 daylight

Home from four days at a women’s festival in Devon I did some wild swimming archery participated in Kirtan amongst other things. Met old friends even one from 10 years ago on Twitter I really loved it … packing for 16 days in Norway tomorrow 😳

📣 @NCISH_UK are calling all clinicians working in mental health care to take part in our survey examining the impact of patient suicide on clinical practice & wellbeing. Please share qualtrics.manchester.ac.uk/jfe/form/SV_...

the mass killings people still don’t talk about: since Trump took office, more than 50,000 adults and nearly 6,000 children have died from the withdrawal of HIV drugs. Just imagine it: your kid is HIV + but healthy and happy and fine - and then suddenly, a far-flung racist takes their meds away

That’s absolutely outrageous but people have been banging on about it for years … Well it’s only women so who cares? FFS

#BIGSPD25 Top Tips for conference delegates Don’t over think it … 10% LXP 90% people or could it just be 100% people .. never understood the need to other others just be happy you all got together Have a great conference do good stuff had to stick my oar in @bigspd.bsky.social
