🎅🏻FIND YOUR LOCAL SANTA APPEAL🎅🏻

For the second your running, we are taking part in our local Santa Appeal.

Poverty levels have risen dramatically in the United Kingdom and thousands of people are struggling to afford the essentials, let alone Christmas presents for their children.

I had a lot of fun shopping for my four allocated children last year (see slide two for a sneak peak) and am happy to be shopping for another 5 children. I personally prefer doing it this way, because the donations go to the council and I can trust that they are going to local children.

If you're able to, maybe consider signing up to your local Santa Appeal (it might have a different name where you live).

It's super fun and a great way to give back.

P.s. Don't do the shoebox appeal, have a little google to find out why because that charity is problematic.

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. A day tha

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. A day that is dedicated to those whose lives have been lost in acts of anti-transgender violence.

The day itself was started in 1999 by transgender advocate Gwendolyn Ann Smith in memory of Rita Hester. It started as a vigil for Rita but was eventually extended to all those whose lives had been taken. What started as a one-off, for one victim quickly became an annual event.

In the summer of 2020, Hester’s name rang out through Roxbury at the Trans Resistance vigil, as she was exalted and chanted alongside others who had stood against hate.

For Chastity Browic, the executive director of the Transgender Emergency Fund of Massachusetts, little had changed and there was a huge risk of others being victimised.

To this date, Rita Hester’s murder remains unsolved and Transgender hate crimes remain prevalent.

It shouldn’t need saying but let’s saying it again for the avoidance of doubt.

“Trans rights are human rights. Trans women are women and trans men are men.”

The Israel-Hamas conflict has truly brought out the worst in people. Since it started, I’ve seen a complete disregard for the hurt by those on each sides. I’ve seen people sharing hateful misinformation and others sharing disinformation. All of it problematic and infuriating.

I’ve seen people making their chosen cause an essential part of their identity. To the extent where they are beyond conversation. When the accuracy of their content becomes unimportant, disregarding its correctness because it fits their worldview.

People name-calling those who’ve chosen not to share anything, when in some ways, that’s probably the best place to be.

But when a topic is this anger inducing, this hurtful and historic, truth matters more than anything.

I’m not an expert. I’m always learning. But some of the misinformation and disinformation being shared leaves me feeling as if something has to be said.

My opinion is always shifting and turning.

That’s healthy, that’s how it should be, because it’s when you become married to a particular opinion that problems arise.

Social media is designed to trap us in echo chambers. Sending is into rabbit holes that only seek to reinforce what we believe and not what the truth of the actual matter is. Something you can only understand by taking the time to listen to both sides.

When it comes to conflicts, particularly those with multiple interests involved, with geopolitics and historical context, truth matters more than anything.

Check your information, consider if there’s an alternative view and try to verify everything. Misinformation and disinformation is damaging to all sides involved.

Excited and inspired by this project. The world of

Excited and inspired by this project. The world of true crime can be ugly, especially with the ascension of TikTok and other such media. People like @trueconsequencespod and @advocacy_con are making the industry a better place. Putting victims, family and survivors at the heart of what they do, using platforms to fight for justice and change, all while being amplifiers for the kind of stories we should be promoting.

It’s hugely important, please consider following their progress. And, of course, if you’re in a position to do so, consider becoming a founding member.

Copenhagen, Denmark 🇩🇰❤️ Three fun fact

Copenhagen, Denmark 🇩🇰❤️

Three fun facts about Copenhagen or Denmark

🇩🇰Denmark’s flag is the oldest continuously used flag in the world
🇩🇰 There’s an area of Copenhagen (called Freetown Christiania) which is essentially lawless and is only loosely governed by the state
🇩🇰 Denmark is flat

Bonus fact - the Danes are incredibly efficient and organised, apart from in the airport which is shocking for a capital city 😂 it’s a nightmare.

Airport aside, I left a part of my heart In Copenhagen.
