Totally recommend Mia's quarterly newsletter, Farlane on Writing (see link in her profile). It's concise and informative.
One of the kindest, most helpful books I've ever read on #suicideawareness:

Why People Die by Suicide and What We Can Do to Prevent It (Vermilion, 2021) by @roryoc.bsky.social

I'll be showcasing this book in my Farlane on Writing newsletter on 10 Sept #worldsuicidepreventionday 🎗️

My sister and I read at The Undercurrent bookshop last night.

Sarah read a story by our mother and a poem by our aunt, and then I read my story 'Qiu Miaojin Is Still Alive'.

There was also some blues, jazz and juggling - fun evening!
