Along with facing the seismic impact of grief, many people with cancer have been isolating and left unable to say goodbye to loved ones due to restrictions or shielding. Many of our community have mourned alone. Today, we're supporting @MarieCurieUK's National #DayOfReflection.

I don’t ever want to hear that Black Lives Matter protesters are the problem ‘whilst in a pandemic’. Look at these hooligans! They showed up to *oppose* anti-racism. They literally showed up to *be* racist

Just found out that George Floyd was originally stopped by the police because he handed over a counterfeit note in a shop. I did that once! They handed me back the note as a souvenir, and later I told the story on stage in a comedy routine. That’s some privilege right there.

We're all angry about George Floyd. So, want to know what you can ACTUALLY do to help? Where to donate? How to organise protests? How to stay safe around police? Where black people can find free therapy? What to read to educate yourself? Here's how you can make a difference:

100% ...I’ve had this exact conversation with at least three friends. Be kind to yourself ❤️
Feeling guilty over not achieving anything in lockdown when it seems everyone else is hitting goals left, right and centre? You're not alone, and in times of great uncertainty, it's ok to just be, and not do 💚 happiful.com/goal-setting-an…
