Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

I cannot fathom the feeling of the women who came forward about their sexual assault at the hands of Trump. Seeing millions of people vote for their abuser. My heart absolutely breaks for these women. I believe you, and I am so sorry.

What a devastating indictment of our country.

In a heroic move, Gisele Pelicot fought to make public the videos of her unconscious rapes at the hands of over 50 men and won. She wanted the public “to look rape straight in the eyes.” Shame, she said, must change sides —from the victims to the perpetrators. Police found more than 20,000 videos and photographs of Gisele drugged and being raped by various men on her husband’s devices in a folder titled “Abuse.” On Friday, the judge complied with Gisele’s demand and showed the evidence “necessary for the manifestation of the truth.” 12 rape videos and 10 photos were shown over the courtroom’s three flat screens and projected into the overflow room for members of the public while the perpetrators in the videos sat in shame watching their own despicable criminal acts being exposed.

Very sad news. Olympic athlete Rebecca Cheptegei has died days after being doused in petrol and set on fire by a former boyfriend, a Ugandan official says.

Practicing compassion, caring for others and sharing their problems, lays the foundation for a meaningful life, not only at the level of the individual, family or community, but also for humanity as a whole.

Big moment in our research year. 1st draft of annual report on suicide in mental health care submitted to funders. Well done to brilliant @NCISH_UK team. Over 18,000 deaths during 2011-21. Worth pausing to think about this number & real lives it represents. #SuicidePrevention

Twitter help: Looking for inpatient services who deliver family intervention/family therapy services. Would be keen to have a chat:) please retweet @gemmamlambo @OT_LauraF @AHDonnarumma @CatherineLNHS @ClairCarson1 @Chrissie_ACP @ChrisHollandRMN

Why would the police would reveal this sensitive information? What does @LancsPolice stand to gain by doing so? It sounds like victim blaming and should make us all deeply uncomfortable. #NicolaBulley

Interviewing for the first time in ages this week. We've started sharing the questions in advance. Hopefully reduces some of the pressure and we're much more interested in finding out about someone's expertise/experience/values than how good they are at interviews.
