The Marvel star shared an early post on Sunday, captioned ‘Hello and goodbye’, revealing that he has had to step away from social media for the sake of his mental health.

He unpacked his decision, saying that he has lately been finding Instagram and Twitter to be over stimulating and overwhelming.

‘I get caught up and I spiral when I read things about me online and ultimately it’s very detrimental to my my mental state so I decided to take a step back and delete the app.’

His return to social media, however brief, was to inform followers about Stem 4, a charity he and his brothers sponsor at The Brothers Trust initiative.

He revealed that the reason they support the charity, which is clinically advised and contributes to helping young kids who are suffering, is because there is an awful stigma against mental health.

‘I know that asking for help and seeking help isn’t something that we should be ashamed of, but it is something that is much easier said than done. So hopefully, these apps can be your first step towards being happier and healthier.’

Former PM Alfred Sant shares Gozo over-development concerns

Aug 14 2022

Taking to social media, former prime minister Alfred Sant voiced his opinion, which coincided with that of many, that there is massive worry about Gozo’s over-development.

Opposing the airport and tunnel linking Malta to the sister island, Sant’s concerns come after a survey found that all of the participants from various industries on the island felt that the island is losing its charm due to over development.

On a Facebook post, Sant said that the island is becoming like a smaller version of Malta and is losing the attractions which once drew visitors to it. He placed his finger on a whole list of ‘ambiguous intentions’ involved.

‘I cannot understand, for example, how serious tourism promoters in Gozo started to worry about this over-development but at the same time favour the monstrous project which has seemingly gone back onto the shelf – the tunnel between Malta and Gozo.’

He also highlighted how these same ambiguous intentions also back up the airport project which according to Sant, reemerged when it should have been put aside completely.
