‘Over-diagnosis’ of child mental health?
No — it’s an unhealthy environment of schools as exam factories, stressed parents and a looming climate crisis.
Our children deserve better.

This is shocking! We need to do something about this now or we won't have any birds left. The dippers decline over the last year is blood on the hands of every politician who has had the chance but hasn't made the water companies clean up their act.
The @bbs-birds.bsky.social 2024 report is out now and shows drastic declines in many breeding bird populations. Huge thanks to volunteers who provided vital data for this report as it’s with your help we can monitor bird populations and help protect them. 🌍 🌐 See the report ➡️ www.bto.org/bbs-results
Falling finch numbers, fading farmland birds, declining Dippers and vanishing Cuckoo calls in England are worrying findings from the 2024 Breeding Bird Survey report out now! Read the report ➡️ www.bto.org/bbs-results

I'm a lover not a fighter, but I know this is fighting talk:
why is rest and restoration time for healthcare staff not included in their contracted time?
Machines are treated better than humans in this dehumanising system.
Time to ask why.

Billionaires like Jeff Bezos have more money than any human could ever spend - and he’s wasting it on planet-wrecking luxuries like joy rides to space.
Why don’t we just tax the super rich and use that money to fix wealth inequality and the climate crisis?

Keir Starmer is offering tech bros at Amazon and Meta a massive tax cut to get a trade deal with Trump - while cutting disability benefits for 1.2million people.
He’s slashing disability benefits while giving tax cuts to people who could buy entire countries.
Anyone else disgusted by this?
