And update on Leo Messi. He says he’s sorry for running away yesterday as he didn’t realize it would be so nice here and the humans only wanted to help. He has started to settle in and there is only good news today (1/6) 🧵

Leo Messi could do with your thoughts today as he heads into a big operation which is life or death for him. He’s been with us 8 days and it’s been a rollercoaster but we had to take the hard decision to push on with losing his leg today. We are nervous but hopeful (1/7) 🧵

Reminder: crying is a HEALTHY emotion. Crying for hours or even a few days means doesn’t mean you’re depressed. We’re meant to cry when it hurts.

Is this really the way to show respect for the poor little girls and their devastated families? I can't imagine how I'd feel doing all the terrible things bereaved parents have to do, knowing how much their loss is being exploited for mindless violence.

Can't remember the last time Twitter made me so happy - all the footage, from across the country, of peaceful anti-racist protests. Streets jammed. Poetic that the opposite of civil war is all over Musk's platform.

Sad the Olympics is over? Me too. BUT the summer of sport isn’t over yet. We Paralympians have been waiting in the wings for our turn. A couple more weeks until the Paralympics start. Come join in our world & support the epicness. You won’t be disappointed. Promise 😉

If you are down or maybe sick and need a lift then this is the story for you. McMuffin is a street dog I found in Thailand hours from death. She had been thrown out in the street to die alone. Yesterday she was paddle boarding in Germany. This is how she made it (1/10) 🧵

People can't set boundaries because they fear feeling guilty. It's ok to feel guilty. It's ok if someone is upset or disappointed you can't do something. It's engrained in us, that if we feel negative emotions, we've done something wrong. This isn't true.

A story that proves not all is bad in the world and which I guarantee will make you smile 😀 It features a street dog called Buttons, rock star Liam Gallagher and the building of a hospital for a dog called Tina. The stuff that dreams are made of… (1/8) 🧵

Rusty needs your help. His forever home in Ireland fell through at the last minute. He's the nicest gentlest dog we have. Ready to travel in early September. I can't explain what a great dog he is after a hard start in life. Hopefully the internet can work it's magic 🥰🙏

New BBC News investigation finds that more than a third of university social work training courses in England teach nothing about #coercivecontrol. Of social work training courses that do include training on coercive control, the training can last as little as one hour.

Anger is usually a cover for sadness.

Don’t want to beat the gender drum but if a nation of men were stripped of their basic human rights I’m pretty sure there’d be a louder chorus of disapproval. We can’t abandon Afghan women. No talking in the street: how the Taliban silenced women like me thetimes.com/article/85c5b3…

If you like happy dog stories like Rodney I’ve lots more on my insta… A follow there would be massively appreciated instagram.com/niall.harbison 🥰🙏

Not wanting to do something is a valid reason not to do it. Just because you’re free, doesn’t mean you’re available to everyone.
