Delhi, Day 1 – Dosa, rickshaws, many, many bookshops, and women-only metro carriages, where the badass ladies of Delhi won’t hesitate to boot out any bloke trying to sneak his way in.

Very lucky to be clocking off today from ActionAid to head to North India for the rest of the year. 2024 has been a painful whirlwind—fighting for truly a decolonised humanitarian sector right now takes courage, resilience & commitment. Stick to your values, keep challenging the system.

Wow. Arrest warrants issued for Netanyahu & Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity. Incl their intentional blocking of aid to Gaza. Pertinent for Keir Starmer, who defended Israel's actions, saying they had the right to withhold power & water from Gaza, see below from the ICC evidence...

There’s a great little book stall near Exmouth market and they always have such a wonderful and niche selection (out of shot is Isabella Allende’s House of Spirits). This does now mean every time I go out for lunch I also buy a book.

I initially turned my nose up at Bluesky and thought I’d be a twitter veteran until the end, but I didn’t realise quite how nice it is to just engage with the people you know, respect and like and not have to wade your through thousands of pieces of crap to hear from them.
