@ukhomeoffice I am a mother of a teenager who works full time and I've been voluntarily running a self-funded book club for the boys in my community for the past 3 years, taking them all over the country to broaden their horizons and the Home Office is paying to decorate chicken shop boxes! Kl

Instead of adding pink ribbons to their products every October maybe companies should just remove the cancer causing ingredients

if you’re not black don’t tell black people how to respond to injustice done to them.

The kind of innovation that the UK should be embracing nationwide.
This is a wonderful initiative.

They're finally admitting it.

MAJOR BREAKING: Epstein survivors just announced they will release their own list of names.

“We know who abused us. We saw who came and went. This list will be survivor-led—for survivors.”

The government stalled.

Now the victims are doing it themselves.

I got a call from my daughter’s high school principal today. He said she’d been caught operating an “unauthorized commercial enterprise” out of the girls’ locker room. My stomach DROPPED. I left work immediately, already imagining the worst: Drugs. Vapes. Stolen stuff. Some TikTok side hustle gone wrong. By the time I got to the school, I was preparing myself for lawyers, suspension, maybe even police involvement. I walk into the principal’s office….…and my daughter is sitting there quietly with a spiral notebook full of spreadsheets. Not cash. Not customer lists. Spreadsheets. Turns out, she’d noticed some girls at school were quietly struggling: • no money for feminine hygiene products • no winter jackets • wearing the same clothes every week after budget cuts hit families hard So she started her own underground support network. She collected donated jackets, hygiene products, gloves, and clothes from wealthier neighborhoods.
Then she cataloged everything by size and need in her notebook like a tiny operations manager. And from her gym locker, she distributed items discreetly to students who needed them — no embarrassment, no announcements, no attention. The principal wasn’t calling because she was in trouble. He called because the school found out… and wanted my permission to turn her “illegal locker room business” into an official school charity program.

I thought I was driving to the biggest parenting nightmare of my life. Instead, I walked into one of the proudest moments I’ve ever had as a parent.

Naomi Osaka on why she chose to host a party for the black tennis players:

“You know I'm seeing a little bit of-
‘Why can't you love everyone for all skin tones?’ and ‘what if someone had an all white party?! First of all I do love everyone for who they are no matter their race + ethnicity, (I'm literally half Japanese lol). I can only speak from my experiences in my own life though, growing up as a tennis player I didn't see many people that looked like ME and I feel like it's important to celebrate them.

Secondly I feel like it's important to note that there have been all white dinners/parties. I don't know how else to tell you this, I literally seen them all the time and never had an issue with it at all. To the people who ask this question I want to ask you this question too, ‘What is it about POC getting together that unsettles you so much?’

I want to end this by saying I grew up watching my dad get discriminated against, having the cops called on him multiple times at the tennis court. There are multiple things I will apologize for in my life but celebrating being black and appreciating who we are will never be something I would consider saying sorry for. Thanks.

Actually I lied, I am sorry. I'm sorry for the people who cannot comprehend in their brains that this is not about exclusion, this is a celebration about how far we have come 🖤”

I’m a Liverpool fan but I’m actually really happy for Arsenal. The celebrations and unity have been heartwarming to watch… congratulations 🥳

5 men used all their body weight to restraint one black man. As he was faced down, one continuously pressed his knee on his neck until he stopped breathing.

Happened in Dublin, Ireland. They’re under every post laughing and calling it the Irish George Floyd. Rest in Peace Yves Sakila.

In my humble opinion, Melissa’s Wardrobe revolutionised @marksandspencer with a whole new generation of consumers in both food and clothing!
