A little reminder on #worldmentalhealthday that opening up about mental health struggles isn't always easy for anyone, but might be even harder for some.

Beautiful skies over Sheffield tonight with a crescent moon sitting right underneath Venus. There's probably a cool astronomy term for it.

I'm going to have to stop because I VERY nearly just burst out laughing at something he said, but I can't write it here. Imagine intense Partridge/Madley vibes.

I don't think this can be a date. He's just talking about all of his alcoholic friends.

Some of you will be old enough to remember #TescoLive from the before times.

When I first sat down, he was in the middle of telling his day about all the broken bones he's had. It was quite the list. I don't specifically know what's impressive about osteoporosis, but each to their own, I guess.

Feel like I need to do "St. Pancras Live" because let me tell you, the guy sitting next to me is on a date (I think) and his chat is absolutely insane.

Another episode of All in the Mind done. We talk about why our phones feel like they're vibrating even though they aren't, and why we so often fail to notice what's right in front of us. Listen Tuesday 16th June at 9.30, or Wed 17th at 21.30. Or catch up any time via BBC Sounds.

If you've been watching 'Dear England', you'll have noticed that one of the main characters is Dr Pippa Grange... here she is in conversation with @dr-peter-olusoga.bsky.social back in 2019. www.bps.org.uk/psychologist...

Your principles and your values mean precisely nothing if you're willing to abandon them to avoid upsetting bigots.

We can learn a lot about managing burnout from elite sport. There's no pressure quite like it. So how do those at the top manage the stress that leads to burnout? And also Batman. open.substack.com/pub/peteolus...

I feel like this should have been seen by a few more people before going to press.

Yeah, no, I'm absolutely 100% not doing that.

For one glorious week in March of 2026, I knew which bin it was on bin day. That particular magic has deserted me, and fear I will never regain it.

So yeah, how's everyone doing? Because honestly.... Jesus fucking christ.

Anyway, when you hear people like that actual president of the actual United States repeating racist claims about black people being genetically inferior and having lower IQs, it's people like Samuel Morton, one of the leading figures in scientific racism, that we have to thank.

Dr Pete Olusoga @dr-peter-olusoga.bsky.social · 18/03/2026

Morton believed that a person's intellect could be determined by the size of their skull. And conveniently enough, his craniometry measurements revealed that white people like him had the biggest skulls and therefore biggest brains, while "negroes" had the smallest skulls and smallest brains.

It's days like these that I really miss Prime 2010s Twitter.

It's weird because someone was asking me just the other day who I would go to for health, fitness, and nutrition advice and without hesitation, I said RFK Jr and Kid Rock.
