Being a politician can be pretty horrible, and it's even worse for women. Interesting thread of research on the mental health stresses they face.

The most unforgivable sin for a leader under neoliberalism is to actually help and protect the people she leads. Makes the rest of them look bad. Jacinda Ardern's pandemic policies saved thousands of lives. For that, she was hounded out of office. #JacindaResigns

‘Hope I leave you with a belief,
that you can be kind but strong,
empathetic but decisive,
optimistic but focused,
that you can be your own kind of leader’
