Wow. Does anyone else get the vibe Salma paid to get this job? I don’t remember her being so terrible. The writing is so tokenistic.

Do you need more facism this Christmas? Things of note, but not necessarily worth watching for: the melancholic cricket, the sea creature, the afterlife scenes, and the stop motion. Reason not to watch: gratuitous movie by four white men that cost $35mill, meaningless references to fascist violence, meaningless storyline detours and flip flops (not the good “dark” or “weird” kind, the mindless, over-cooked, “too many chefs with too much money kind” kind).

This is the education we need. Powerful and from a power duo with Ava DuVernay!

So happy to hear mention of the need for Lived Experience workers, support for existing community resources (the example of grandmothers was given), and a return to pre-colonial/ indigenous ways of connecting with each other/ inclusivity, by Dr Patel and Dr Cacciatore. Also, great to see stories where people are thriving while living with so-called mental ill health… normalising different experiences of mental health are ongoing and not to be “fixed” and pathologised. Prince Harry is obviously new to the subject and I feel for him bc there’s so much to know (and there’s no shortcut to checking privilege). Sharing his own story and a session with his EMDR therapist is the silver lining of his renounced royal duty, public service, compelling him to share things that most celebrities wouldn’t. You can see his anxiety (picking the skin on his fingers) which has a humanising effect. That being said, the damage caused by his family requires so much more self inquiry… nice to see him try though. Always love hearing from Dr Perry :) NB You can watch most things for free on the net!?
