Fixed it for you. Idiots! If the exclusion is based on appearance then it will certainly impact cis folks as well as trans folks.

I have a lot of thoughts about interfaith work in the UK... most of them kinda negative, but not well thought through enough yet.

It's cold outside and there's a cat on my lap. I don’t want to move but there's an interfaith event I gotta go to.

"Blessed are the peacemakers"
Sitting in a police cell after arrest at a peaceful protest is a lonely experience.
But please know you are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses. You are not alone but in a great community of those who have sought justice and witnessed to a better world.

God bless everyone arrested today at the Senedd and elsewhere. You are building a better world with your actions and opposing the Empire of violence and lies. I will be praying for you over the next few hours as you sit in cells. You are not alone.

Arrest at the Senedd today.
November 18, 2025 at 3:05 PM
Multiple arrests at the Senedd. Where are our MSs to witness this attack on Welsh democracy?
November 18, 2025 at 2:08 PM
Have protesters ever been arrested on the Senedd steps before today?

I wonder if the bigger difference isn't between humanism and theism per se as between those who do, and do not, think that the holy HAS AGENCY. The bigger difference is whether you believe in a God who can act, speak, listen, love.

Let's stop pretending that the billionaire media, endlessly attacking the BBC, has the slightest interest in balance, impartiality and accuracy. They won't be happy until the BBC is more rightwing than Vlad the Impaler. And then it still won't be enough.

Liberal Quakers tend to frame their internal theological diversity as a jolly potluck: "our diversity is our strength." But at Meeting yesterday I experienced it as a crisis. Whether God exists or not makes a huge difference to our ability to be a community of hope. #Quaker #theology

Trevor Philips, "What is the implication of the white poppy?"

Zack Polanski, "The white poppy began after WWI, mainly from women's groups, who talked about peace and antifascism"

"So on the same day we remember the fallen, it's also about looking to the future and saying, we want a world of peace"
