This takes me straight back to summer evenings spent laughing over a pint in the Granta (or as our college fondly named it 'seminar room 3'!)

This is heart-shattering. There are no words but I am so so sorry ❤️

He's great at this. Unrattled, reasonable, and manages to make this ridiculous question look just that without overdoing it.

Oh, wow!

This is beautiful! Picnics in Grantchester during my uni days is one of my fondest memories

Season 2 was my favourite by farrrr

The young Muslim woman detained in a locked Whipple bathroom with three men said she never thought this could happen to her. She saw America as a land of opportunity after a childhood in a refugee camp. She hopes to become a nurse or a flight attendant. Her criminal record, she said, consists of one speeding ticket. With Whipple's holding facilities filled, the woman said, agents eventually moved her to another locked bathroom by herself. There was an air vent at the door's bottom. When she saw federal agents' footsteps, she banged for help. On her third night of detention, agents took in two new detainees: an African immigrant and her 7-month-old baby girl. She said the immigrant told her they had been detained as the mother took her baby to a doctor to be treated for influenza.

"When the woman arrived, she was screaming and crying and yelling, 'My baby is already sick!' " she recalled. " 'I don't want my baby to die!' " The next morning, she said, the woman and baby were moved from the bathroom. It wasn't until her fourth day of detention when the young woman was allowed to use a phone at the facility. When she heard her mother's voice, she burst into tears. On the fifth day, agents drove her and two other recently released detainees to a light-rail station near Whipple. They took off her handcuffs and told her to call an Uber, even though she didn't have a phone. She borrowed one from another detainee. As they released her into the cold, she recalls their simple words: "You are good to go."

“You are good to go.” Good to go?!?!

This is what ICE tells a young woman they tossed out into dangerously freezing temperatures after four agonizing days in detention at Whipple.

Oh gosh, Amy. I am so sorry. Will be tucking the whole community into my prayers 💛

This made me cry, no lie. Complicated reasons, one being its fuck you to the baked-in structures and strictures of the world that consider harm to be inevitable.

Excellent! Congratulations

I am very very happy for my tax to go towards the education of others.

Supporting other people to thrive is exactly where I want my tax to go, actually.

SAME! I bought 4 more yesterday (very happy about them)

Praying! Sweet Gus ❤️🐾🙏

Lots of tears and feeling exhausted by grief tonight but I am so grateful to have this little face right by my side at all times. Dogs bring so much joy

Thank you! I really hope so too 💛

I am laughing and crying in equal measure.

I am only part of the way through so cannot comment too much just yet but it feels like a breath of fresh air and so far, the love, space and words I've really needed.

I haven't been to church (as in the organised service in a building sense) regularly for two years. My faith in God has not been shaken. My love for and trust in the Church definitely has.

I've started reading Rachel Held Evan's 'Searching For Sunday: Loving, Leaving & Finding the Church' and
