A few years back, Ahmad told me his story about leaving Syria, becoming a refugee, and searching for a home in the UK. In sharing it, we hoped it would help people walk a mile in his shoes.

Now feels like a good time to share this story again.

We’ve had lots of brilliant special reports in @indexoncensorship.org, but I don’t think we ever predicted we’d need to dedicate a magazine to the USA.

As always, it is an honour to be able to publish such important voices - be it dissidents, censored voices or persecuted writers.

I always love @resurgencetrust.bsky.social magazine delivery day. This time I got to write about bringing back the bald eagle in the USA, and the wildlife biologist who made it happen 🦅

Oooh look what just came though the letterbox. This might be my favourite @indexoncensorship.org cover yet 👀

I had to pause the Rooney (Sally, not Wayne) because reading about grief when you’re grieving is all a bit much, innit? I rocketed through this absolute gem from Claire Fuller and it gave me the distraction I needed. Books are healing. Somewhat, anyway.
