The problem with mushroom coffee
Is that it tastes like mushrooms
and not coffee
And I'm a big mushroom fan

Hello all - I have someone seeking a clinical placement as they commence a Level 5 Counselling Diploma in Psychotherapy with Children and Young People. Can anyone advise as to orgs working with CYP (Belfast, Antrim areas) who could provide a clinical placement? Many thanks!

This little parable is a nice illustration of why it is important for mainstream parties to set and uphold clear, bright line anti-prejudice norms, and of why the failure of senior Conservatives to do so risks doing great harm to their party

Morning dog walk on Cavehill.
This land will be a forest one day believe it or not.
Thousands of native trees have been planted in recent years.
They just take a while to grow..

Just visited the Dlúthpháirtíocht exhibition in Cork, a showcase of Irish & Palestinian artists.
Every sale directly supports artists in Gaza, or in the case of Irish artists, goes to Dignity for Palestine. If you’re anywhere nearby, go see it and show support 🇮🇪🇵🇸

And wee whinge (*now* I remember what Tw8atter was for...) What is up with Miro not letting you log out?
I've just struggled to find the option (hidden in profile settings) and twice gone through the "log out of all devices" flow (with nice red warnings)
Only for it to ... NOT log me out. Wut?

Ok - third time lucky. I'm going to try to get back into the habit of posting!
So - random bit of life update.
Last night I moved the furniture in my study around.
Result - strong burst of creativity. Feeling "unstuck"
Nice hack to encourage neuroplasticity!

Finished up my first day on a new job and project! 🎉
Feeling all fizzy with the excitement of the new. It's like when you buy a new notebook, but 100x
More on that to come.
For now - how do you set up new projects / jobs for success? 🤔
