Burnout rarely appears suddenly. More often it accumulates gradually as temporary increases in workload become permanent expectations. High performers are particularly susceptible. I explore the topic in my latest @themedialeader.bsky.social article. uk.themedialeader.com/protecting-y...

Protecting yourself from burnout
In the acute phase of burnout and workplace stress, the priority is restoration, not social communication.

Do not underestimate the power of sleep
Focusing on sleep is a key factor in building resilience for increasingly exhausted leaders. It doesn’t cost anything to develop good sleeping practices and it is within our control.

I have had death threats for my work on trans rights. I have been stalked. I have had people try and have me thrown out of my University. I am by no means alone, and lots of trans-inclusive academics have spoken publicly about the violence and harassment they face. But no mention of that here.

The thing about the Rule of Law is it applies to everyone or no-one The second thing about the Rule of Law is if you don’t agree with a decision then you appeal it, you most certainly don’t attack the judge for applying it The third thing about the Rule Of Law is without it, you have chaos

For five years, Syd endured conversion practices, was made to undergo exorcisms and told she needed to be "cured" just for being herself. No one should have to go through what Syd did. Yet, conversion practices are still happening across Great Britain. Read Syd's story ▶️ bit.ly/4cw1njU
For years, they drilled it into me that being myself was a sin, letting go of that shame hasn’t been easy.
