Our lives, and the systems that harm us, are connected. Everyone deserves to live in a world where they can flourish without persecution. So we keep marching for our freedoms.

Morning Womble- I'm having a re-read of Christopher Fowler's Bryant & May books, reading "the bleeding heart" currently 🙂

The scale of destruction is undeniable: mass killings, starvation, forced displacement, and dehumanisation.

We speak not to divide — but to open eyes, minds, and hearts. 🕊

Full statement at www.quaker.org.uk/documents/qu...

Having a re-read of Christopher Fowler's "Bryant & May" books- on "The Bleeding Heart"

Women are “ordinary people.”

Migrants are “ordinary people.”

LGBT folks are “ordinary people.”

Stop using “ordinary people” as a reference only for people who are straight, white and male.

It’s simple.

Text of Anne Donnellan’s poem ‘Lent’ on a soft background, exploring themes of faith, ritual, and the passage from childhood devotion to adult contemplation.

For Easter Sunday, ‘Lent’ by Anne Donnellan, a poignant reflection on faith, time, and the quiet longing for resurrection. From childhood devotion to adult surrender, poetry that lingers like dawn light

So, last night's Doctor Who- just seemed like a cut & paste of "The devil's chord" from last season....has RTD already run out of ideas?

Ask your MP to oppose the hostile environment and back safe routes The Government’s refugee citizenship ban and new immigration Bill are just more of the same: continuing the hostile environment. We can’t let this go on. These policies don’t address the real issue. I...

Thank you ❤️

@brokenspinearts.bsky.social are so supportive. Thrilled to be reading this.

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

The bloody MS is being more of a nuisance than usual right now- healing thoughts would be very welcome, thank you ♥️
