If all of this isn't enough think about the other ethnic minorities in Israel, such as #Druze, and #Samaritans.

A strong, independent Israeli Supreme Court is mandatory for the security of minorities in Israel, and in the #MENA

I'm not Israeli. In fact, I've only been to Israel three times, but the security of Israel and the people within it is vital.

This is not normal politics. This is the fight for democracy over fascism.

It's as simple and as serious as that.

Adding historical context to current politics is part of what newspapers should be doing. Kudos to WaPo and Maham Javaid.

Our broadband has gone down. Fortunately we have a backup but #BT want a name to allow us to report the problem. We're stuck - surely because we're #samaritans we can get this fixed? Help by retweeting

A massive thank you to all the Samaritans volunteers who provide such an amazing service. It’s a lifeline to so many, especially at this time of year, including those who struggle to access mental health support. Thanks so much. You mean so much to many survivors

Tried to talk to #ChatGPT again; got super-angry, rage-quit. It's like talking to an idiot, who is for some weird postapocalyptic reason mortally afraid to say anything even remotely interesting.

(I tried to make it extrapolate biblical apocrypha; instead it started lecturing me that #Samaritans didn't exist, and that even to mention textual variations in the #Bible is offensive to the faithful, and thus unacceptable! It turns out rabid algorithmic wokeness insta-raises my blood pressure lol 😡)

Tomorrow will be the first Christmas I have ever spent on my own as I have been struck down by Covid! I feel physically ok and content in the knowledge that my children and husband, who tested negative, will be having a wonderful day with their grandparents.

I am so lucky it is only unusual circumstances that mean I'll be alone. If you're not so lucky and are struggling tomorrow, please reach out and speak to someone. X

If anyone is alone this year, will you let me know? I need to borrow some chairs.

Seriously, take care of yourself. x

Well merry #ChristmasEve eve, Tŵters! Hope you're all doing nice things and are relaxed and looking forward to it. 🎄

For those who are having a rough time, please reach out to those around you, or ring the #Samaritans (116 123) if you need some support. Things will get better, and everything inevitably passes.

Much love to all. x

A friend reminded me that today is the anniversary of the sad and untimely death by suicide of the rather marvellous Stuart Adamson. I find the music of Big Country so evocative of glens and pipes and, of course, it was used to great effect in the film Restless Natives.

This time of year can be so difficult for all manner of reasons. Remember that there is always someone at the end of the phone on 116 123 #Samaritans #MentalHealth #BigCountry #StuartAdamson

So it's happening, this weekend I am starting my 3 streams for Samaritans! come join me as we raise awareness for a wonderful cause who help a lot of people, which at this time of year is very important. https://tiltify.com/@grassomaniac/a-grasso-before-christmas #Samaritans

The Online Safety Bill is such a disappointment. The algorithms which do so much harm are not being challenged. And, while there are some welcome restrictions being implemented aimed at improving the safety of children, it’s not just young people who are affected by information about self-harm and suicide. Adults can be vulnerable too. After all the time spent on this Bill it feels like a missed opportunity unfortunately

Thank you @nova for giving us a new home!

Social media sites are still not doing enough to tackle self-harm content being pushed to users on their sites, says #Samaritans.

The warning comes as new research from the charity and #SwanseaUniversity found 83 per cent of social media users surveyed were recommended self-harm content on their personalised feeds, such as Instagram’s ‘explore’ and TikTok’s ‘for you’ pages, without searching for it.
