Was an interesting weekend to finish this book to say the least, but wanted to recommend MARTYR! to anyone who hasn’t read it. Just astoundingly beautiful prose (you can tell the author is a poet), with so much to say about the stories we tell about ourselves and others.

This is the kind of power we need at the moment - a ‘Different Kind of Power’. What’s happening at the moment only re-instates the need for more female and humane leadership. We’d have a different world if that was the case! Good to see @jacindaardern.bsky.social in Brussels last week.

By getting the very wealthiest to chip in, we can help working families get a decent place to live at a decent price.
