It's International Men's Day.

A day for

a) International men. Hey fellas.
b) remembering that toxic masculinity is also toxic to men.

But cultures can change - just ask blokes in the construction industry, where mental health issues are a massive issue

My 6 year old boy won Player of the Match this weekend.

I'm so proud of him and its an absolute pleasure to see his confidence shine.

But I'd never have said this on X cos i'd end up with people saying its "woke" to call it Player of the Match and I couldn't be bothered with the hassle.

Always baffles me when crossing paths with runners who don't acknowledge you.

Same hobby, same time, same town, dealing with the same weather/circumstances.

Just a nod is enough, let's see each other.🏃‍♂️
