@louisemurphy.bsky.social following for your insights into NEETs. My son fits this category but is not in the age bracket that has the most focus. Are there any organisations/people that I can follow who focus on the late 20s early 30s?

The daring leaders we’ve interviewed are never empty-handed in the arena. In addition to rumble skills and tools, they always carry with them clarity of values.

@k8lister.bsky.social I’ve just listened to a fascinating podcast from Inside Health (R4) which included an interview with cultural historian Dr Kate Stephenson talking about the history of condoms. This would be a perfect subject for #Betwixtthesheets !

Been thinking about #MOHO and how the environment shapes occupation. Social media is an occupation too, right? Since moving from X to Bluesky, I’ve felt a tonne more satisfied and engaged. Just goes to show how a positive environment makes all the difference for meaningful participation.

NHS never really recovered from the pandemic - just look at any of the NHS indicators: www.nuffieldtrust.org.uk/qualitywatch... As a nation, we seem intent on a communal forgetting of how bad it was. I'm reposting this thread of testimony on the reality of the NHS during first two waves. Pls watch.
