I recently read Marie Arana’s ‘Bolivar’ and wrote some thoughts about it on my new Substack if you’d like to check it out! (5/5)

Mini review of Marie Arana’s ‘Bolivar’ (2014)
“You can’t speak with calm about a person who never knew calm; of Bolivar you can only speak from mountaintops, or amid thunder and lightning, or with a fistful of freedom in one hand and the corpse o...

Happy Trans Pride, London!

Bodily autonomy is an essential principle and we can’t abandon it in the wake of moral panic. Your body, your choice. Trans people are our neighbours, friends and colleagues and are deserving of a life of dignity and happiness.

UK firms struggle but price pressures likely to keep Bank of England on alert

My phone crashed and all 100 of my ‘one day I’ll read those’ tabs in safari have disappeared. I was definitely never going to read any of them. It’s a miracle.

Pedro Pascal’s recent Vanity Fair interview is absolutely beautiful and very moving. Made me tear up a couple of times! (The photoshoot is INSANELY 🔥 too, obvs)

Happy Pride, London! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

People come to and love London because they feel it’s a place they can truly be themselves. I love that about this city. One day we will have a world where every single person can live and love freely, no matter who or where they are.

Labour’s latest on migration is yet another disappointment from this government.

Migration isn’t just a good thing because it helps plug gaps in the receiving country, but because human beings deserve to live with autonomy.

Where you happen to be born should not define your life chances.

Thank you @emilythornberry.bsky.social @zarahsultana.bsky.social @cajardinemp.bsky.social @refugecharity.bsky.social (+ others) for your bravery standing up for rights + dignity of trans people.

Happy 4/20! The war on drugs was morally wrong and doomed from the start. It has failed and must come to an end across the world.

Reminder that trans people are deserving of dignity, respect and safety.

From time to time I feel like I need a little “reset”.

One of the things I always do when feeling like that is watch this beautiful lecture by Michael Sugrue about Marcus Aurelius and Stoicism. I really recommend it!

Whatever is said by Donald Trump: - migrants deserve to live with dignity and without fear
- Trans people deserve to live with dignity and without fear
- Women deserve to have autonomy over their bodies
- The climate emergency is real and needs to be a priority for every government
