The Maternal Mental Health Alliance is a network of over 130 member organisations working together to improve perinatal mental health care in the UK. Meet our members on Bluesky: go.bsky.app/NFDGT3P
More of our members are joining the app every day, so we expect this starter pack to keep growing.
We paused for a Q&A at the halfway point. Really appreciated hearing Luca Marinelli speak about the technical and emotional challenges of portraying a man like Mussolini - he said that he had to suspend all judgment of the man in order to take on the role.
Emerging eight hours later: wow, what a show! Compelling storytelling with a weirdly anachronistic but incredibly effective soundtrack.
Trip to the cinema today to see M: Son of the Century, the new eight-part series dramatising Mussolini and the rise of Italian fascism
And over at @beyondbabyblues.bsky.social we recently did an episode on this: www.buzzsprout.com/2290576/epis...

Iโm incredibly pleased to share the LGBTQ+ parents and carers digital zine. To reduce feelings of loneliness and isolation, we asked people to share their thoughts and experiences of being LGBTQ+ and a parent to make an online creative resource. The result is beautiful! heyzine.com/flip-book/d0...
Thereโs a more detailed breakdown on the final tab of the spreadsheet, you have to dig through the data to get to it!
Itโs 2011 - 2019 so a little bit out of date. Couldnโt find anything more recent!
Thereโs some ONS data for England and Wales - table 4 on the spreadsheets here: www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopula...

What did you go for in the end? I decided to start the year with an old favourite ๐โโฌ
I thoroughly enjoyed chatting to @dr-chrissy-jay.bsky.social about the complicated relationship between infant feeding and maternal mental health - it comes up in our clinical practice all the time!
For more info and resources, check out @bfn-uk.bsky.social and @1stepsnutrition.bsky.social
literature in translation should be the biggest section of any bookstore tbh
Omg I would love matching socks! Could you do something in blue or green? ๐
