This gave me goosebumps.
“My 18-year-old daughter was at Starbucks, alone, the other night.
A man came up to her and started talking to her.
A barista handed her “an extra hot chocolate someone forgot to pick up.”
How grateful I am for people who look out for other people!”
We need each other.

Our media is in such a mess.
I met with the @mediareformuk.bsky.social this week & discussed need for proper regulation and the Leveson Inquiry.
90% of our media is controlled by the same 3 people. A huge amount of hope seeing these new independent media organisations - they deserve our support! 👇🏼
