Intolerant liberal, aggressive pacifist, less paradoxical Japanophile. PR now (if not sooner). Still European.

A Lenten rose for the first Sunday of Lent💜
The traditional names of hellebores are closely tied to liturgical seasons - the December-blooming version is known as the Christmas Rose, while the March-flowerer is the Lenten Rose🌹

Finally. Ceasefire. So many feelings. Still can’t quite believe it. We’d been so close before. But also why did it take so long. Thousands of innocents dead. So much devastation. Let’s hope this lasts and the bombs don’t start again.

This painting is bittersweet; it depicts the last Christmas Mass of Pauro Nishibori and the Catholics of Yonezawa prior to their martyrdom. Merry Christmas, and please keep in mind the persecuted Christians who may not be able to celebrate today.

'A fair voting system is an essential bedrock of a functioning democracy' - Spot on @SarahjOlney1

And in a symbolic vote, that is what MPs have just voted for: #ProportionalRepresentation.

Next, the government must agree to a National Commission on electoral reform.

The Taliban has just banned Afghan women from attending nursing school.

Imagine: you cannot pursue any education, even healthcare, because of the sole reason that you are a woman.

We are witnessing the erasure of women in real-time. It is beyond horror.

[Tanni Grey-Thompson @Tanni_GT]

A society’s mission should be to assist the most vulnerable people how to live and not how to die.

[Tristan Snell @TristanSnell]

It’s now official — in the 2024 election, more people voted against Donald Trump than voted for him.

💥 Fantastic to see the APPG for @FairElectionsUK calling for a 'National Commission for Electoral Reform'

🌹 We're proud to say that a majority of the group's more than 100 members are Labour MPs

💪 The Labour movement is firmly in favour of fair votes

17 November is the feast of St Hilda, abbess of Whitby, who died on this day in 680. Bede says 'her wisdom was so great that even kings and princes sought her counsel', and 'all who knew her called her Mother, because of her distinctive piety and grace.'

'I shall graft it with a medlar; then it will be the earliest fruit in the country' (As You Like It)
Introduced to the UK by the Romans, medlars turn up quite a bit in Shakespeare, usually with vulgar associations. This one, pleasingly, is growing in Stratford

“The government should accept our amendment which will finally get the ball rolling on delivering a proper democratic mandate for the House of Lords.”

A beautiful strawberry tree beside @bodleianlibs #Oxford 🍓🌳❤️
Arbutus first came to England in 1586 sent as a gift from Ireland to Walsingham and the Earl of Leicester.
I love that it both flowers & fruits in November!
