Reading: an indispensable companion to life. Writing: to challenge it.
Feminist, anti-racist, anti-cruelty, anti-ableism, socialist, shining light on cruelty.

Suella Braverman is wrong.

Multiculturalism isn’t the problem.

But we know what the problem is…

So looking forward to welcoming Oliver Newton from #100TalksForChange today. He will be speaking to our Y10s about the impact OCD has had upon him and how running helped him rebuild his life https://t.co/tGf47xiyOP🙏@ymmorguk for helping to set this up

@libby4000 Thinking of you. :)

Never forget. Today is Aylan Kurdi day. The day when humanity was lost. The day that will leave a scar on our shameful history forever. #RefugeesWelcome

[Elle McNicoll ✍🏻📚🩷💜💙 @BooksandChokers]

Libraries are about so much more than a good book.

They are about community bonds. A village mentality. Helping neighbours. Bettering ourselves. Education. Emancipation.

Finding and forming community is what will save us all.

It's why some consider libraries dangerous.

On top of the world - or at least, the highest peak in Cornwall, with stunning views!

Good morning - I hope you slept like an invertebrate-stuffed nuthatch - I'm starting with ‘Malcesine on Lake Garda’, Gustav Klimt, oil on canvas, 1913. Available as a single card or as part of the Gustav Klimt Collection (No. 6).

A little girl in Afghanistan asking the Taliban — “Is being a girl in Afghanistan a crime? Do you have mothers? Do you have sisters? Do you have daughters? Please don’t turn off the light of knowledge & education on us girls.” 💔

Study finds English libraries generate at least £3.4bn in yearly value “The evidence is clear: investing in libraries brings huge returns for local communities and the public purse.” https://t.co/ibIadM3C5t

Not all hero’s wear capes but some wear incredible pink dresses and amazing suits. I was very lucky to meet two of my hero’s last night @Philippa_Perry and @Alan_Measles. Thank you for the chat and stretches! ❤️🤩🤞

A white British man effectively lynched a young Black mother and her two children by pouring petrol through their letterbox and setting them ablaze. He was found guilty of murder today. Not America, Britain in 2023.

For some reason, Nigel Farage's banking woes are a bigger story

What magic might happen here? After years of working in temporary spaces and corners of shared rooms, I’ve got a ‘room of one’s own’ 😊 and I love it (best bit is a tiny window that looks out over the garden) 💚🧙🏼‍♀️📚🌸 #apothecary #writinglife #wildwoman

Asexual people deserve to be protected by the Equality Act. We deserve to be protected by the ban on conversion therapy. We should not be pathologised in the ICD. I'm going to keep campaigning for that and wearing fishnet tights, so prepare to be mad for a while. 💜🖤

[Sophia Alexandra Hall @sophiassocials]

10 years ago to the day, I was crying in the back of a police car on my way to my first foster placement.

& today I did my first training session to become a mentor for #CEP wanting to get into journalism.

It's been a *journey*, but I'm so proud of mini-Soph for getting here ❤️

[Hayley Draws Churches @HayleyFern4]

A selection of some of my favourites from this summer (I'm allowed favourites right?) I still have over 250 to go to complete the whole #dioceseofleicester collection! Every one is so unique and a joy to draw. Am so glad that I decided to do this #artchallenge #artpilgrimage

[Amy Lewis🌬💜✡💫🎓🌹 @LiberateShadows]

@HayleyFern4 Like the personality and use of colour!

[Hayley Draws Churches @HayleyFern4]

I did not see a soul today, drawing this absolutely adorable little chapel in Coleorton, although it's next to a Primary school so week days will be very different! I thought someone was in the bushes at one point but it was a very lively squirrel! #stjohnschapel #coleorton
