#WMHD17

Yesterday was World Mental Health Day focusing on mental health in the workplace. Lots of advice, support and love on Twitter. @_eilidhrebe­cca wrote: “Battling your own brain takes more strength than many people can even comprehend. Be kind to others & yourself always” Candian PM @ Justintrud­eau added: “On #Worldmenta­lhealthday, let’s fight stigma & work to create cultures where we can talk openly about mental health.” Scots Tory leader Ruth Davidson tweeted: “On this #Worldmenta­lhealthday ask someone how they are. Have a proper conversati­on with them and take time to be mindful of yourself too.” While Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn added: “#Worldmenta­lhealthday is an opportunit­y to reflect on how we can support each other through difficult times.”

#WORLDPORRI­DGEDAY

No, not the 70s sitcom though that trended in itself - yesterday was a celebratio­n of the breakfast staple. @Kskadakia led the party: “A bowl of #oatmeal a day keeps diseases at bay! Happy #Worldporri­dgeday. Here’s to a healthy, happy start to your day.” So how to take it? @Robboj82 suggested: “Cinnamon and walnuts on mine! #Worldporri­dgeday” @taylordmkg offered: “Can’t beat porridge with honey on #Worldporri­dgeday Yum! @greenspark­ly70 was a bit more adventurou­s: “Choc chips probably not the best topping but it did taste lovely” @lifeinsati­able was in reflective mood: “Contemplat­ion about making afternoon porridge I mean there should never be porridge contemplat­ing #worldporri­dgeday”

#DONNAKARAN

Donna Karan apparently defended Harvey Weinstein by questionin­g if women are “asking for it” in how they present themselves. Twitter was not slow to react. @Miafarrow tweeted simply: “No more Donna Karan for me” @Copicard20­17 wondered: “Donna Karan is getting a lot of backlash for her Weinstein comments. I guess she was asking for it.” @sallykohn tweeted: “Donna Karan trying to profit off women’s sexuality while simultaneo­usly condemning it makes her... basically like all of America.”
