Another utterly enchanting performance from brilliant community theatre company @red_rose_chain - Midsummer is so much better with their annual outdoor theatre at @NT_SuttonHoo - go see this if you can; you’ll be charmed.

Intergroup conflict erodes trust and cooperation at both the individual and societal levels, hinders effective societal functioning and threatens the well-being of individuals. This new paper describes the critical features necessary for successful intergroup interventions. Specifically, they consider the importance of identifying meaningful intervention goals (what), crucial characteristics of intervention recipients (who) and key contextual features (where) for optimizing interventions. A huge challenge is motivation: many people are often reluctant to engage in intergroup interventions and to change their deeply ingrained worldviews and perspectives. I see this all the time. We don't want to engage with people different than ourselves. Therefore, intergroup interventions that accentuate a value important to individuals and provide people with a sense of positive identity and worth might be effective in contexts where an individual’s positive identity is threatened.

@andre_spicer Absolutely phenomenal! This should be the required viva for every PhD.

Can you dance your PhD? An annual competition shows you can. Here's the winning entry which is a great expose of kangaroo community and behaviour youtu.be/RoSYO3fApEc

“If Roe v. Wade can fall, anything can fall. Social Security can fall. Medicare can fall. Voting rights can fall. And God help us all, but democracy itself can fall,” says Democratic House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.

So clever: can you spot the similarities? photographychronicle.com/we-go-to-the-g…

@red_rose_chain So well deserved and not surprising at all; Laura’s puppets are stunning! And so cheeky too!!

Amazing news that our Theatre in the Forest puppetry director Laura Cubitt won an Olivier Award!! 🎉🎉

Calling people "toxic" is rarely helpful. It focuses on their impact instead of their actions. Toxicity comes in 5 flavors: disrespectful, dishonest, cutthroat, exclusionary, and abusive. A good warning pinpoints patterns of behavior that are problematic and persistent. sloanreview.mit.edu/article/why-ev… wsj.com/health/wellnes…

Love Adam Grant’s work. Love love love Adam Grant’s work.

@red_rose_chain Absolutely fantastic stuff for our community!

Last year we completed our early years project supported by Ragdoll Foundation, working with over 800 families, including 300 children in schools & over 70 refugees! Ragdoll are now using us as a case study for "good practice in early years theatre" youtu.be/G9Zs5j7rC9o

I love this: "Emotions are usually cause for reflection."

@red_rose_chain I love this and Red Rose Chain are simply fantastic in every way. Long may they make many many people happy.

We're back with our community companies this week! ✨ So to celebrate we're sharing this poem sent to us by Grace who was inspired to write the poem after watching ACT in The Mistley Watch Watch last year! Such a beautiful poem that brilliantly captures everything about RRC!

Fascinating stuff! I need to suppress my sadness that expressing sadness may be a waste of my time 🤣🤣

@contextconsult Lovely video!

The constant in life: thoughts come and go like waves crashing on the beach. In the midst of one wave, it feels powerful and demanding. But remember, waves wash away, making room for new ones. #ChooseYourFocus

@RossMcCOACH This is fab that you’re doing this Ross - everyone, Ross is an ACT legend and such a great teacher.

I'm excited to be delivering an ACT in the Workplace Train the Trainer Program in April and May next year in partnership with Contextual Consulting Ltd. I'll be sharing the protocol I developed alongside Dr Paul Flaxman at City, University of London and my experience of delivering it to 100s of adults across a wide variety of organisations. @contextconsult Early bird rates are still available - all the details are here - contextualconsulting.co.uk/workshop/act-i…

This is so true. On the ball City!

The core question of identity is not who others think you should be. It's who you aspire to be. 70 studies: Mental health depends more on living up to your ideals than to others' expectations. Closing the gap between your actions and your values is a source of well-being.

Is @tiktok_us a reliable source of health information? No. This study of autism videos finds that 73% were inaccurate or overgeneralized, especially videos by creators who weren't autistic or health care practitioners. (📄 link.springer.com/article/10.100…)
