Thanks to @ThePantaloons for a lovely, funny evening of escapism(even though I have the strong urge to defend Charlotte Lucas!;))I might have my doubts about the new normal, but anything that includes Jane Austen on a lawn can't be all bad :) Looking forward to The Tempest next!

@SLCT2015 Been a big fan of anger since I read Rage Becomes Her by Soraya Chemali. It's a powerful warning emotion - and if it's good enough for Jesus it's good enough for us ;) Plus we all have a cupboard of rage stored away - getting it out is the only way things will change!

In the spiritual, emotional and physical disconnect and pain created from being told to ‘go back home’ when one already is home, be with your children, O God.

@Sarggeschichten Was natürlich nicht entschuldigt dass solche Sachen einfach so hingesagt werden, einfach um Trauer oder die Trauernden "abzustellen" - das wird leider mit religiösen Sprüchen viel zu oft gemacht.

[Katharina Smith-Müller @ms_kasm]

@Sarggeschichten Ich glaube, für ChristInnen geht es darum, dass sich einem dann endlich die jetzt noch unvorstellbar große Liebe und Sorge erschließt, die Gott für uns hat - erst dann verstehen wir richtig wie zärtlich Gottes Hand uns und unsere Lieben geführt hat, und wie tief Er mit uns leidet

[Katharina Smith-Müller @ms_kasm]

@Sarggeschichten Also nicht ein Paradies wie ein Schlaraffenland, sondern eine Vision vom Himmel, die ganz Liebe und Geborgenheit ist - und dann ist die, jetzt und hier natürlich und berechtigt sehr schmerzhafte Trennung,ein kleiner Teil von einem Leiden in dem wir uns dann ganz gehalten wissen.

Aged 18-25? Have a look at this - great opportunity!

I'm still dreaming of walking the exact path of Mrs Dalloway one day, through London - it's a lovely post lockdown vision :)

[DrMLBanting @TheCommonViewer]

Happy #DallowayDay!

Planning the novel, Virginia Woolf noted "I want to give life and death, sanity and insanity; I want to criticise the social system, and to show it at work, at its most intense."

The great and wise Maya Angelou - excellent insight into intersectionality, too. Suppression is complex, and nobody can be free and equal until all are free and equal. God grant me the courage! #blacklivesmatter

[Dwayne Reed @TeachMrReed]

You, before: “There is only one race... the HUMAN race.”

You, now: “While race is a social construct, I understand that systemically and societally, people are treated differently based on the race they are. I cannot deny the privilege or the problems that come with one’s race.

do not celebrate victory too soon!
It remains necessary to follow the rules in force carefully because they are rules that help us to prevent the virus from gaining ground,"

My five year old just said "Mama always jokes when she uses words that you can do jokes with. She's such a joker". And I'm not sure I've ever felt that seen before :D

Pax Christi USA's statement on the death of George Floyd & the racism that seeds terror, disfigures our humanity #ICantBreathe #GeorgeFloyd #BlackLivesMatter https://t.co/JT0or5GT9P

What a powerful voice.

@OfficialMLK3 @LadyTitania46 One of my favorite Civil Rights activists Fannie Lou Hamer said “The flag is drenched in our blood”. If you don’t know her, look her up.

[Katharina Smith-Müller @ms_kasm]

A very happy Eid to everyone who is celebrating today, despite the odd circumstances - it must be sad and upsetting to have fewer, or no, people around your table today. But God is no further from us in these times - if anything, He is closer, and comforts. I do wish you joy!
