Now that EU rejoin is obviously inevitable there is no reason to delay. Every day outside the EU is another day of damage for Britain. Notify Brussels, get the process started and rejoin the EU now

No one should be surprised by the growing number of voices calling for Britain to return to the EU, or at least to accelerate and deepen the “reset” currently underway. There are four reasons for this: encompass-europe.com/comment/is-bri…

Today's Article: 'Healing Isn't Linear: But It Matters Everyday' By @TheCPDiary bit.ly/4sUel2o Pause and Check In With Yourself "Mental health isn’t something you fix once, and walk away from. It’s a daily, ongoing practice, one that shifts depending on your environment, health, relationships, and circumstances. In today’s world, this awareness is more important than ever. Mental health doesn't sit quietly in the background. It's there in how we cope with stress, process information, and set boundaries. Caring for your emotional wellbeing plays a central role in how well you tackle stress. Mental health is pivotal to longevity.  Emotional healing matters, every single day..."

We’ve not had any enquires for this lovely girl, can you please share? Eva is a 3 year old female Collie x Whippet. She is available and would suit someone who can give her lots of time and attention. Eva would be best in a quiet area, she wouldn’t cope in a town or city. In the country she can be fearful of shots and noises therefore would prefer someone who can give her further guidance and training. She is great with children and often goes to school to drop the kids off and meet everyone else. She is good with some dogs but can be fearful of others and show dominance. A home with no cats is best as she has a high prey drive and will chase a cat. Eva is chipped and spayed and healthy with no issues. Her anxiety would need to be worked on with someone who is understanding. Eva is fully house trained and happily sleeps in her crate at night. She is brilliant in the car and up to date with everything such as her vaccinations and flea/worm treatment. Eva loves treats and can perform commands such as sit, lie down and spin. She is ball mad and will happily play with a ball for hours. For more information or to offer Eva a new home please email info@help2rehome.com

🇬🇧🇪🇺 The only 3 people to benefit from Brexit were Johnson - got prime minister Farage - got a cult following Putin - got a weaker UK and Europe. The rest of us got a poorer, more divided country with less rights and freedoms. Plus now we know reform were on the Russian take.

Beyond urgent - when you adopt a dog it takes a couple weeks for the dog to get adjusted (they say months but I’ve noticed weeks). Pls consider this bc returning them is almost always a death sentence for them.

What a sweetheart 7+ with no family . Loves a ball and a blanket . Wow 💔.Anyone out there be able to be his hero ? Please at least “share” him to give him a chance . #Heartbreaker for Sure

Starmer is one of the most criticized politicians in modern history But when Tony Blair and Boris Johnson, widely known for their failures in foreign policy, criticize Starmer and push for sending British troops into war for the US, it suggests he’s on the right side of history

This is very unhelpful. Starmer has just made his position far clearer and will be moving us far closer to the EU. He is doing a good job in very difficult circumstances considering the still volatile nature of the subject. You should be supporting him, not posting rather silly stuff like this. Sadly, on this occasion, I'm disappointed in you @sonofr

Macron: "Europe is an extremely attractive continent... and the Americans have given me an unprecedented selling point: we are predictable." We have many problems to fix, and we will fix them. But the old, dear Europe remains the safest and most reliable place to live. 🇪🇺

Today's Article: 'Where My Focus Goes' By @TheCPDiary bit.ly/48sc99T Making Sense of a Life that Felt Harder Than it Needed To Be "The hardest part for me living with something I didn't know I had isn’t always what people think it is. There are so many parts of this that are hard – the opinions, the misunderstandings, the things said without thought, the daily challenges that come with living with a brain that doesn’t always cooperate. But there’s something deeper that’s harder to carry. The hardest part… is the loss of autonomy and support – having to muddle through this life on my own. The loss of a life that with a disability could have been easier. The quiet grief that comes from realising that life could have looked different to how I once imagined..."

💔💔URGENT APPEAL💔💔 Two gorgeous young pointer girls, were dumped today at the pound, no longer wanted or cared for, left with an uncertain future💔 They are just young, one is approx 1 year old and the other a little younger approx 7/8 months 💔 Their fate to end up in general population with so many dogs and with distemper rife at the moment they just wouldn’t stand a chance💔 They are gorgeous; one brown and one black, they are not a breed we have much experience with rehoming but that doesn’t mean they don’t deserve to have a future. We have already got them disease tested and one is being spayed but we need to raise funds now to cover these costs. We would love to take them to the shelter but we can not do that unless we can raise the costs for them❤️‍🩹 Please if anyone can help with a donation to help these two girls please use ...

@jakonrath Sharing best practices from an indie perspective? From a non-fiction point of view, it feels universal.

@TheCPDiary I can't apply my knowledge to non-fiction because my experience doesn't include non-fiction and I don't presume.

X Dos and Don'ts for Fiction Writers You wrote a book. Maybe several. You know you have to promote your work, and you know social media is important. But you aren't seeing results. You aren't getting engagement. You aren't growing your followers. Here are some things I've learned. DON'T POST "Buy my book!" Asking, begging, or shouting for sales doesn't work. No one cares about your book or your career. DO POST about your book when it launches, and when it is on sale or free. Don't do this more than a few times per month. Selling is about making people aware of something they want, not pushing stuff on those who don't want it. DON'T POST personal stuff. If you use social media for business, no one cares about your politics, your family, what you had for breakfast, your adorable pets, or your trip to Guam. DO POST advice, jokes (if you know how to be funny), and comments on what is happening in the publishing and fiction-writing world. DON'T POST negative, needy, or overtly critical screeds. You aren't on social media to have a pity party, attack others, or contribute to the downfall of polite society. DO POST about situations rather than people, solutions to problems, and project confidence even if you don't feel confident. People like winners, not losers. DON'T POST replies to pinheads. You don't have to comment on everything you disagree with, you don't have to reply to shitposts, you don't have to have an opinion on everything. Feeding the trolls is not a good strategy. DO POST on the content of others when you have something insightful or funny or supportive to say. Follow people back, like things you agree with, and engage with the community in a positive way. DON'T POST blocky chunks of text. Use a line between thoughts. How easily the post reads is almost as important as what the post says. This goes for fiction writing as well; pay attention to how the words look on the page. DO POST with pictures. Pictures seem to raise engagement. Make sure you aren't posting anyone else's pics without linking to them. DON'T POST AI-written posts. People want to engage with you. If they want to engage with AI, they can do so easily. DO POST cleanly. You shouldn't have errors; spelling, grammar, and punctuation should be correct. DON'T POST lies. Spreading falsehoods might trigger early engagement, but it will come back to bite you in the ass. DO POST things you have fact-checked. Don't assume anything. Research and vetting are your friends. Be clear, be concise, and be as truthful as possible. DON'T POST book excerpts. Fiction (even short fiction) is a long-form narrative. People don't like incomplete chunks. DO POST jokes or dialog from a WIP if it is brief and witty and not accompanied by "buy my book!" begging. DON'T POST shit that you wouldn't want to read. If someone else posted the same thing, would you care? If not, don't post it. DON'T POST book cover art. Nobody cares about your cover. DO POST questions. People like to chime in. X is not going to help you sell many books. I have gotten 300k impressions in the last 4 weeks. The needle has not moved on my book sales. We can all work toward the collective improvement of humanity while having a little fun, or we can make things worse by being boring, negative, self-absorbed, and stupid. What did I get wrong, and what did I miss?
