I want to posit a new military maxim: the existence of a military problem does not necessarily mean there exists a military solution.

Reading @StepheHarrop's wonderful, searching new book on the current generation of women storytellers, while devising & rehearsing a new performance myself, is like setting off a box of firecrackers in my head. And on a Sunday morning too! /1

The latest British Social Attitudes survey, released today, shows a sharp rise in prejudice against trans people.
Only 64% say they are ‘not at all prejudiced’ - a huge fall from 82% in 2019.
We are alarmed, but sadly not surprised. And this is a shift that benefits no-one.

A steadily growing body of scientific evidence demonstrates that "rapid-onset gender dysphoria" claims do not reflect transgender adolescents’ experiences and that “social contagion” is not causing more young people to seek gender-affirming care. trib.al/nSQ70Fq

Among the dead, none is king, none is subject, there is no division of the seasons; for us the whole world is spring, the whole world is autumn. No monarch on his throne has joy greater than ours.

115 years ago today, a man arrived in a small Western town and before anyone even learned his name he somehow died eating paste.
The town buried the stranger and gave him a memorial stone. Nobody knew him, but they still wanted the future to know he was here once, he was alive.

Mental illness is a brain disorder? Right?
We thought so.
Hang on though, our new study @JAMAPsych shows that poor body health is a more pronounced manifestation of mental illness than poor brain health.

Q: How can very technical, scientific research that doesn't use human participants use storytelling?
A: Speaking to an audience, being personal, using emotion, and structure. And leaving space for the listener to join the dots.
ALT Leave space for the listener. let them join the dots or reach their own conclusions so your message will land with greater impact.

Tapping into human experience and emotions can make your story memorable. Using tangible, evocative details using the senses can help provoke a reaction.
ALT Use tangible, evocative details. Think of the different sense you can appeal to, or what will provoke an emotional response.
