Flexitarianism: a contrast to the furious fundamentalism emerging in days of uncertainty, that take comfort in absolutes, purity culture, cancelling those you disagree with “You don’t think your way into a new life, you live your way into a new kind of thinking” Martin Wroe #tftd
#EidMubarak!
As people around the world celebrate #EidalFitr, each of us can draw encouragement from the values of solidarity, empathy and compassion that are inspired by Eid.

"Do I think it's enough? ... No I don't."
@Emmabarnett asks Dame Louise Casey, who led a report into the Metropolitan Police, if she agrees with the commissioner that progress has been made after the murder of Sarah Everard.
Instead of running to the edges, us & them, good & evil, @monasiddiqui7 talks about the discipline of law, even in war. “Laws & rules are there to help us see the humanity of our enemies, and to do this isn’t a weakness - it’s our biggest strength.” https://t.co/T3VVjLnwsA

Sweet & zesty playing from #Klezmer Foygl (tunes from Moldova, Turkey, USA, Ukraine) & hilarious dancing at the Kairos Club.
No phones/screens allowed, small tables for chatting about Lahori food & LitFest, drone killing, Pondicherry, protest, arts & human rights. Great crowd.
Wishing Christians and Muslims everywhere Happy Lent and Ramadan Kareem! As our period of abstinence and prayer coincide this year, may it remind us how much we share in common & strengthen our resolve to build better & deeper friendships among ourselves & with others. ❤️✝️☪️
This week something rare happens - the start of Lent and Ramadan coincide.
For both Christians and Muslims, it’s a time of fasting, prayer and renewal.
While some may choose to focus on our differences, in London we’ll be united by our desire to deepen our connections with what matters most.
Wishing peace and blessings to everyone observing Lent and Ramadan this year, all over the world.
St Valentine’s Day presents (from previous years - we often forget) & a tiny red heart given to everyone on a German pilgrimage in 2024 #ValentinesDay
