I'm bad at sharing podcasts but wanted to share this interview with Hannah Murray, which I found quite enlightening in terms of understanding bipolar. She's so well spoken and clearly a great writer (as well as being an excellent actress.) podcasts.apple.com/ae/podcast/h...

#BookReview of This is Also a Love Story by Sally Hayden www.swirlandthread.com/this-is-also... from @maireadhearne.bsky.social

Grieving continues in south Lebanon, as the death toll from Israeli attacks since March 2 climbs to 3,516, according to Lebanon's ministry of health (it was 2,294 when the April 17 ceasefire came into force).

At a funeral today for six members of the Abdallah family - a father, mother and their four children (two 18+) - who were killed on Monday in Marwanieh in the Saida district. One boy survived & remains in hospital. #lebanon

A new temporary cemetery in southern Lebanon. It was opened a week ago & already has 32 people buried in it, including at least 4 children & six women killed by Israeli attacks, locals said. They said it is ready for hundreds more.
