Please stop the #Miracle narrative. Aircraft design and peoples actions led to this outcome. We blame people when things go wrong and then when things go well we attriubute it to God? 🤷♀️

Question for UK #EMGTwitter
Why are the “Turn around, don’t drown” and “An eggcup of water can ruin your engine” campaigns failing so badly in gaining traction in the UK?
Yes, it’s a SocSci problem, so how do we engage the audience better?

@kirstyjmcneill Hope is a discipline. Love is a decision. The thing to do tomorrow is to decide to be loving.

A study of 2835 women with cancer found that those with a network of good relationships were four times more likely to survive than those without. @Davrob5

The evidence is overwhelming and so are its implications: 6% of the adult population in England are chronically lonely. Building stronger social connections could on @Surgeon_General's most cautious estimates yield a 30% reduction in the risk of premature death. @Davrob5

I am 💯% convinced that a moritorium must be declared on all deficit focused & damage-centered research. As this sort of pathologising research is being used as a gateway to community harming policies. Researchers that are profiling only deficits should be stopped at the gate.

Grateful to have attended a #SpacesForListening today with @brigidrussell51, @charlie_psych and others. I feel like I needed some truthful conversation, to sit and genuinely listen, and be very honestly heard. Thank you. A little faith in humanity has been restored!

Yes! A new approach is long overdue- And lots of good ideas in community wealth building too.
'Governments outside Westminster are experimenting with doughnut economics, wellbeing economics, universal basic incomes, and a human-rights focused economic agenda', says @ProfKEPickett arguing that the next govt must take a new course. Do you agree? buff.ly/47TOOw4
