Beautiful essay on adult friendship

[Shefon N. Taylor @shefontaylor]

They were solitary little girls whose loneliness was so profound it intoxicated them and sent them stumbling into Technicolored visions that always included a presence, a someone, who, quite like the dreamer, shared the delight of the dream.

Our beautiful film is finally out into the world for everyone to watch worldwide on YouTube.

Unequivocally the proudest I’ve ever been of a piece of work in my career thus far. I hope you all love it as much as we did making it. ❤️

After 10 years of thinking...5 years of research...1 year of writing, I have FINALLY completed the draft manuscript of my book on the gentrification of Hackney.

"From Hackney, With Love: An Intimate History of Gentrification" will be out in May 2025

[The Nap Ministry @TheNapMinistry]

My affirmation for 2025 is: stay open to love.

In 2024 it was: Be compassionate.

18yr old Londoner detained in #Dubai and faces 20 years in jail over sex with a 17 year old Brit. Marcus and his family are calling on local MP, Rt Hon David Lammy for assistance. Please help Marcus @DavidLammy

[Radha Stirling @RadhaStirling]

We have written to Foreign Secretary @DavidLammy, MP to request assistance for Marcus Fakana, 18 year old detained in Dubai, facing 20 years in prison for sleeping with an Indian-British girl a few months younger than him. She's 18 now, literally the same age! Marcus is stuck alone in Dubai in an Airbnb.

Did you know London is the greenest big city in Europe?

We have over 3,000 parks & 35,000+ acres of public green spaces.

The Walk London network is great way to explore many of these. Full routes and details are on the @tfl website:

Happy Parable Day.

I find this concept unbearably moving. So many people who I no longer speak to or see for whatever reason who I still carry with me in how I dress, what I listen to, the slang I use, the morals I try to live by. How porous we are, how infinitely influential!

I do believe that art is as important to the human psyche and physical body as air is, as oxygen, as water.
