Everyone has a part to play in suicide prevention. Talking about suicide saves lives.

So for #WorldSuicidePrevention Day, share this post.

You never know who it might help 💜

More detailed guidance 👉 https://bit.ly/4tZGrJY
A poster titled "How to support someone who is feeling suicidal" lists six tips with icons: listen and be kind, do no try to fix things, stay connected until they're safe, ask about suicide directly, connect to help, stay connected, and follow up. A note at the bottom says World Suicide Prevention Day.

On average, housing costs are a heavier burden in EU cities, where 1 in 10 people spend over 40% of their disposable income on housing. Bar chart titled "Housing cost overburden rate, cities vs rural areas, 2024 (%)". Two bars: Cities 9.8% (tall orange bar with city buildings illustration) and Rural areas 6.3% (shorter teal bar with rural landscape). Source: Eurostat (March 2026).

We know not everyone wants to be featured in someone else's Starter Pack, so we're making it easier to opt out. Just open the Starter Pack, tap the three-dot icon at the top of the page, and select "Opt out of Starter Pack."
A graphic with screenshots of the Bluesky app, including a menu option that says "Opt out of starter pack." The text reads: "Opt out of starter packs. Don't want to be in someone else's starter pack? Now you can remove yourself from it."

💜 Walking the dog. Cooking a nice meal. Catching up with a friend.

Whatever you're up to this bank holiday weekend, we hope it brings you joy.

From 5pm today, we won't be checking comments until Tuesday 1 September.

If you need support in that time, here's where to turn.

@womensartbluesky.bsky.social. Just seen the #YayoiKusama post. A little known fact about YayoiKusama - she lived in a psychiatric hospital for most of her life. However she was a successful artist working with global commercial brands.

1-in-10 adults in the bottom half of the income distribution provide at least 5 hours a week of unpaid care, with 1 million caring for 35+ hours a week.

That's the equivalent of a full-time job.

Stacked bars comparing proportions of working‑age adults in low‑to‑middle versus higher income groups who provide unpaid care at least five hours/week in the UK (2023–24), showing low‑to‑middle earners have a larger share providing 35+ hours (full‑time equivalent).

Changed voiceshift's profile picture to reflect our role as an agent of #transformation in mental health. The #moth is a symbol of #change. The image uses warm colours to avoid black and white - colours associated with clinical settings.

An infographic titled "THE BUILDING OF A STORY - PLOT & CHARACTERS" structured like a stepped stone tower or pyramid showing the elements of storytelling.From the bottom up, the building blocks are:The Foundation: Theme & Purpose ("The deeper meaning. Why the story matters.") featuring pillars labeled Love, Power, Justice, Betrayal, and Redemption.Characters & Types of Conflict: The characters section describes them as "The heart of the story" and lists Protagonist, Antagonist, Supporting, Mentor, and Ally with small stick figures. The conflict section asks "What creates the tension?" and lists Man vs Man, Man vs Self, Man vs Society, Man vs Nature, and Man vs Fate.Exposition: "The beginning. We meet the characters and enter the world," showing a house structure and characters standing outside.Rising Action, Conflict, Falling Action: Three blocks sitting side-by-side. Rising Action notes "Events build up conflict and suspense" with figures climbing up. Conflict is "The struggle between opposing forces" with figures pulling a rope. Falling Action states "Events wind down. Consequences unfold" with figures walking down steps.Climax: "The turning point. The highest tension," depicting two characters sword fighting.Resolution: "Loose ends tied. Change is complete," showing two characters together holding a string at the very top of the tower next to a flag.The illustration is a black and white line drawing set in a landscape with clouds, a tree, and a sign that reads "EVERY STORY IS A JOURNEY."
