A thread with some evidence

I did an actual jump for joy seeing this @biteback2030.bsky.social in the wild today. 👏 to the young activists
‼️Food companies spending big (an extra £420m) ahead of new UK junk food ad rules… Coinciding with a bumper 12 months for sales of snack foods (an extra 45.4m packs of chocolate, cakes and crisps)
It’s almost as if advertising is indeed very effective? 🤔

Campaigners hoping to bring Charlton’s White Swan pub back to life are hosting a fundraising pub quiz later this month.

Do not allow your inner child to fade away as the years pass by. This precious part of yourself — the one that finds wonder in small moments, laughs freely, and sees the world with curiosity and delight — is essential to maintaining genuine joy and vitality throughout your life.

I've written about what dying typically looks like - not as a 'pro' or 'anti' AD piece, but in the spirit of confronting a taboo.

There's a fully-funded PhD Scholarship for Black British Applicants at my partner's law school. Pass it on to anyone who might find it useful. Could change someone's life. www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DKP136/p...
I would do this for you. Give me your top 3 things to share and I'll come back to you with theirs 😆
Looking forward to it @richtaunt.com it's very timely for me to have a timeout for a little reflection. Thank you!
