I'm staying here for now.
If you think your followers may like photos I've created that can dial down stress levels & even lift mood by just looking at them,then maybe give this a RT?
I post my photos most days,along with simple neuroscience-based tips on improving mental health.

Please remember it was @Influxpress that first published Percival Everett in the UK.
Short listed for @TheBookerPrizes
