No complaining about how hard it is to write, we are all so, so lucky to write, to sit down, inside, and write words on paper. There is no greater freedom, no greater good, nothing that brings more joy.

The U.K. has both a legal & moral duty to uphold this warrant. Full stop (& hopefully, a new sentence).

ICC’s arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu, Yoav Gallant, and Hamas leader Al-Masri pose a massive challenge to those who claim to support a rules-based international order.

Sure, we see things we're primed to see, and a positive attitude can be really enhance life satisfaction. But 'you can attract things to yourself energetically' so easily becomes a toxic dogma, a prosperity gospel. Capitalist spirituality infuriates me.

Victoria Jackson, author of Manifesting for Beginners, tells #BBCWato she believes there is ‘real science’ behind manifestation.
