heard a girl say that when she feels stuck, she imagines herself at 85yrs old & gets a chance to come back to her younger body for a day. suddenly, everything feels like magic again. the walk, the coffee, the music, the sunlight. live like today is the miracle it actually is!!!

Police need to be removed from handling tasks for which they are not trained. Mental health, addictions, domestic violence, homelessness, traffic violations, community disputes, school safety and so much more should be handled by professionals trained for them.

Stop telling Jewish people to get over what Kanye said and that he’s mentally ill and not serious. Stop telling Black people his t-shirt was a joke. Antisemitism is real. Anti-Blackness is real. Words matter. Words are what start unwarranted hate towards people.
A common reaction to Mo Farah telling his story is ‘we know and love him, he’s earned his citizenship and honours’. This is exceptionalism - most trafficked people will never ‘earn’ a place in British hearts. We need humanity & empathy for all.
