Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning
Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.

When terrible things happen it can be easy to believe the world is terrible; it's important to remember that there is far more good than evil.

While there are a small number of people who commit horrific acts, there are literally millions of people who will save people from them.

I thought I'd make my first Bluesky post a celebration of toilets and in particular the need for good sanitation in war torn countries and the developing world. Happy #worldtoiletday folks!
