**LAUNCH** of #ClimateDiary
Hashtag
I've been thinking for a while that it would be good to have a collective Climate Diary (along the lines of the Sussex Mass Observation project): people from across the world recording and sharing everyday observations, experiences, thoughts, feelings relating to the #ClimateCrisis
I would like to try out simply using a #Hashtag - #ClimateDiary - here on #Mastodon to create this and I would like to invite you all to join in and share widely! 1/4
A Few Thoughts on Guarding Your Mental Health These Days
"Most of what passes for mental health advice involves suppressing negative emotions and pretending to be happy for the sake of others. Those of us who refuse to play along are labeled “negative” and identified as a threat."

Last week I had the great pleasure of visiting the Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle for the 1st time. What a treat - so many brilliant pieces, including some @RNLI inspired paintings ⚓️
'The Women' by John Charlton is spectacular (and huge! Difficult to convey in photos!)
I was also really moved by the 'These Are Our Treasures' exhibition (I was so engrossed, I forgot to take photos).
I'll be back very soon!
Thanks so much @jacklowe for the recommendation ✨️

Amid the looking, listening, learning, despairing and raging, I've built something new and I'm very pleased to share it with you.
I hope it helps us. All is explained here in my latest blog post called:

@breadandcircuses Indeed. I find Richard Crim's assertion much nearer the mark and the final paragraph is among the most affecting of all the words I've read not the topic:
