Wrote a piece on the resilience the LGBTQ+ community has in a crisis and how we must use that resilience if we want to see lasting change in our community's mental health and wellbeing @lgbthero.org.uk #WorldMentalHealthDay www.lgbthero.org.uk/finding-calm...

In Finding Calm in Chaos we explore how LGBTQ+ communities build lifelines when the system fails — from midnight group chats to grassroots care, from exclusion in shelters to peer support that saves lives. By @ianhowley.bsky.social #WorldMentalHealthDay www.lgbthero.org.uk/finding-calm...

I always use this day as a ‘reset’ day where look back over the last 12 months and think about what I’d like from the next. If there’s a day you should be selfish it’s #WorldMentalHealthDay.

This #WorldMentalHealthDay, we’re reminding ourselves of one thing... we already have the tools to build a happier, healthier community. We at LGBT HERO promise to keep fighting for better health, for equal rights and the opportunity for all LGBTQ+ people to have the chance for a happier life.

I just got reminded that 14 years ago today I went to see Alan Carr live at Wembley. I have no memory of this. Seriously. As far as I remember I went for after work drinks before I went there and clearly I got shitfaced that i don’t remember this. Awful. I was 26 at the time so leave me alone.

Okay, I'm doing it. I'm wearing trousers for the first time since Spring. Tried with the shorts today but I had to give it up. My milk bottles were cold.

This should pretty much confirm Isreal's exit but how it's done will be interesting. The EBU is spineless.

Might be a stupid question but is there a way to get analytical data on this app? I want @lgbthero.org.uk to be posting more here as there's a large LGBTQ+ audience but funders love data and it's hard to know our impact on here. Will still increase our posts here but access to data would be helpful

Fancy running for @lgbthero.org.uk at the Red Run this year? 👇 www.lgbthero.org.uk/redrun2025

Nothing major. Just hanging with Samantha Mumba last night at Manchester Pride.

Just a reminder that's it's the RVT / @lgbthero.org.uk Sports Day on Monday from 1pm at Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens (Behind the RVT). It's our biggest fundraising event of the year and all the money raised goes to support and enhance our support groups for LGBTQ+ people. www.lgbthero.org.uk/sportsday

Calling all former smokers living in London. You could be the face of a new London wide Stop Smoking campaign. More info below 👇

Morning 👋

Have your say about home-based social care in Lambeth. The London Borough of Lambeth wants to hear the views, needs and experiences of LGBTQ+ residents. Anyone could need home-based care at some point in future, which is why they want to hear from you now. www.lgbthero.org.uk/lgbtq-lambeth-care

Stop Smoking London needs you for a new campaign! We need LGBTQ+ people who are former smokers to star in the new campaign and talk on camera about their journey to giving up smoking. Your story could help others to become smoke free. Find out more: www.lgbthero.org.uk/smokefree

Just got reminded I joined @lgbthero.org.uk 15 years ago today. 15 years! Original plan was spend 1 year in London and head back to Ireland. Let’s call it a long diversion still in motion 2010 v 2025

I really wish PN and Queer media in general would ignore her and stop posting about her. I get it they need clicks to generate revenue but why are we giving those who are horrible about us the most attention. We know she sucks.

I went back on X for a bit these last few weeks because as a LFC fan the main football accounts still post there. The 'for you' section is the worst I've seen it. It's beyond toxic. If you want to show someone the worst of society just show them that section. Has society really fallen this far?

Wild Friday night cleaning the bathroom 🧹🧽

It's Non-Binary Awareness Week. Non-binary people exist. Always have. Always will. But visibility isn’t enough, we need action. • When someone’s identity is questioned — speak up. • When a space excludes non-binary people — challenge it. • When a friend comes out — stand beside them.

Same director that did Ireland last year did Austria this year. Can you tell? #Eurovision2025

Sweden will walk this Semi. Nothing near it. #eurovision

I lost my wallet tonight, the first time ever. No cash in it. Only cards. I need to send someone an invoice for the time spent on admin to recover these cards.

Cheers to another successful trip around the sun 4️⃣1️⃣

This morning's decision by the UK Supreme Court will be upsetting for many. Organisations are currently working to understand the implications of this on trans+ people. We have put together a directory of Trans+ services that provide help and support. Visit: www.lgbthero.org.uk/trans-directory
