Today, we need to address the horrific situation in Turkey where over 50 LGBT+ activists have been arrested. Police have raided organisations and venues, blocking their voices online. This is a direct attack on their freedom to exist. #Solidarity with the Turkish LGBTQIA+ community! 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
Truly wild to have lived through moral panics about teenagers wearing hoodies and Muslim women wearing the head dress to now experience 'but is a large group of organised far right activists in balaclavas really that scary'

This is an appalling lack of judgement and the surest sign yet that Britain will continue to be Trump's lackey. The war in Iran has cost countless lives, and breached international law - yet we continue to support it. Very, very concerning. Very, very continuity Starmer.

Essentially this is a blog about the complexity of Christian language within Quakerism. My own contining discomfort with it but my experience of becoming more open to it and an appeal to not clip the wings of others.
