Oh friend, I have had this GP appointment so many times. It's unhelpful, and it's untrue. You (and your body, if they feel separate) deserve kindness and respect this day and every day.

I'm so sorruly, friend. I wish I could come up with a succinct and witty thing to say that would shut this stuff down, or show the person the harm they're doing in real time. All I have is deep compassion for you; be gentle with yourself 💜

Great to see you!

Quakers condemn police raid on Westminster Meeting House Police broke into a Quaker Meeting House last night (27 March) and arrested six young people holding a meeting over concerns for the climate and Gaza.

🚨 Outrage as 20 police officers break into Westminster Quaker Meeting House and arrest six. 🚨
This shocking violation of a place of worship is a direct result of crackdowns on protest and dissent - freedom of speech, assembly and democracy are at risk.🕊️

Yeah, we're doing well thank you! Can't believe I'll be going back to work on Sunday, and so grateful for a phased return.
It's been far too long, one of my 'on this day' photos a few days ago was us at a uni party, feels like a lifetime ago!

Our nearly 5 month old would add that toothache isn't conducive to anything! Hoping you (both) feel better soon ❤️

Don't worry, Magda will be delighted to be the centre of attention!

Storyville - Your Fat Friend A Storyville documentary following the rise of Aubrey Gordon from anonymous blogger to best-selling author, whose aim is to promote a paradigm shift in the way we view fatness.

UK friends with TV licenses, I urge you to engage with this film. It has a lightness of touch and a generosity of spirit that lays bare the omnipresent reality of anti-fat bias and its impact on us.

Intersectional justice means fat justice; your fat friends need you.

Although I've mentioned this on your other thread, so it's not a new reflection, I consider my experience to be not only positive but life-giving and precious.

I don't prefer it, but it has become a very important part of my ministry, as it allows me to share sacred space with my dear friend and training priest who otherwise can't receive from me. Seeing us together has been a good and healthy witness to our community, breaking down barriers.

Or receiving Christ in the eucharist for the first time since going into labour, about which I am just delighted. What a relief to be able to drive again, but I now feel so much closer to the experience of those who struggle to attend church.

I was so looking forward to this study day, I hope you'll fill me in over coffee in exchange for cuddles with a baby!

I have a petrol fairy too! It definitely doesn't motivate me to change my fuel light ignoring behaviour 😂
