Humans are made for community. This is where we find inspiration, connection, validation, and healing. That's why peer support communities are so valuable - they meet people in their circumstances and help them to hold on, help each other or head onward. But how do we do this? (THREAD 👇)

I have a theory about LinkedIn. Yes, yes it's a binfire of corporate broetry with more fictional children giving enigmatic business advice than you ever thought possible. But the cut-through happens when we keep it real. Scooby Doo references. Actual lessons from actual mistakes. And useful info.

It is possible to care too much. As community builders, it's natural to care about people. We want them to feel welcomed, to reach goals, and to feel safe. But we can take on the burden of caring too much. This can manifest in so many ways and can impact our health. I should blog on this, right?

This is not an image of a migrant mob storming a Birmingham hospital with axes and blades, as this tweet shared by Elon Musk claims. West Midlands police has confirmed the image is fake. The inconsistencies and physical anomalies in the image indicate it's likely AI-generated.

Embrace the fail, they say. So I'll mention yesterday's effort to cut corners with a lemon drizzle cake recipe, resulting in a cake that looked fine and dandy, then subsequently COLLAPSED... And, has since been described as 'wet and a bit greasy' I will make another one this week to prove I can.

Brands making jokes about death at a time like this is ... a choice. It costs nothing to skip a trend, especially if it involves a lack of emotional intelligence or mental health awareness #Duolingo #BrandsNeedToGrowUp
