“The single biggest problem with communication is the illusion that it has taken place”
Possibly the most important communication lesson, ever.

I'm just realizing now that "learning to live with the virus" was code for "people need time to numb themselves to a higher level of suffering and disability and a lower level of caring and compassion."

Birds are fed by their parents in their infancy. When the time comes to feed themselves, there can be some confusion when the food does not go into their mouth by itself.

As an NHS doctor who experienced the policies of Jeremy #Hunt as Health Secretary during his 5 year tenure, I can confidently state that he is a man not to be trusted by the public. He is another ideologue with no capacity to listen & learn from serious mistakes

It's #WorldMentalHealthDay today and I wanted to give this a bump because we're still losing friends and loved ones in this way.
If it helps just one of you then it's worth it.
Mental fitness is harder for some than it is for others.

So it's #WorldSuicidePreventionDay / #WSPD2019.
Been going back and forth on this one all day.
But seeing the samaritans at the station on my way home from work pushed me over the line I think.
A sign maybe.
I think I'm finally ready to talk about this.
OK. Let's go.

Yesterday was Finno-Ugric people's day, Hõimupäev in Estonian. Events continue on 3rd week of October.
It's been organised since 1928 (with a pause during USSR occupation). And a good time to remember our kin, who have been living under Russia's rule, slowly losing their roots.

Look at this beautiful teenage girl, full of life, singing with @Hozier 's "Take Me to Church". The Islamic Republic killed her in the protests following #MahsaAmini's murder. She only wanted to live a free life as a young woman. Say her name: #SarinaEsmailzadeh

For every successful use of a framework or founder archetype, I can find a tech company that took the exact opposite approach and was successful. What gives? Why isn't there a theory to rule them all?

Dialogue on a Finnish kids show, where two kids are discussing how to tell someone they've dropped their wallet
K1: In English, you say "Excuse me I'm very sorry to bother you, but did you drop your wallet by any chance?"
K2: And how do you say it in Finnish?
K1: Onks tää sun?
