You’ll get a mix of all kinds; politics, justice and all things arty and crafty with a bit of nature photography and writing thrown in.

@fazalbaloch.bsky.social thank you for doing this work.

So happy! Can’t wait to read these.

Two wonderful books!

These are like gold dust to me - access to words and prose that are from people from whom one ancestrally belongs. For some of us in this world this is rare.

💚🤲🏽☀️

Eid Mubarak!

May all who receive injustice & pain, find blessings, peace & love, from faith, hope and inner self, in these times when humanity is shortcoming on all levels to many people, individually & collectively.

May Allah grant respite to all who suffer, InshaaAllah Ameen 💚

It’s Vasculitis Awareness month. There are many types.
I have #GPA #AAV #Vasculitis
For many of us it’s life changing.
We learn to live with it and its significant impact.
Sometimes people are kind.
Sometimes people are very unkind.

This excellent visual is from Vasculitis UK.

Eid Mubarak.
May Allah bless everyone.
May Allah provide ease in the hearts and minds and souls for those of us who cannot be celebrating with those we love; deceased and alive.
Remembering all those in the world who are oppressed.
May Allah provide freedom and joy again.
Ameen.

We (Mixed, Asian, Black) know what we know even without stats.

We’re a rarity in teaching/ed mgt.
Turnover stats will be😳too.

‘…the white British ethnic group was the only group with a higher percentage of headteachers than deputy or assistant head teachers or classroom teachers’.

Grateful to the Creator, today & everyday.

May people find peace & be protected from the tyranny, hate & envy from those who wish harm.

Allah is all seeing, all hearing.

Today people celebrate the prophet Jesus. We learn from all the Prophets. They brought kindness, 💚 & hope.

A poem I wrote yesterday after painting a quick watercolour sketch.

I didn’t know what to do with myself. All the pain and destruction in this world and how the world has turned its back.

These were the words that came. That hope may return one day.

Two years ago my beautiful cat lady Tula departed having been my cuddle companion, right hand woman for 18 years. She taught me unconditional love. We learn a lot from animals.
Photos of her and a poem I wrote for her. I am never going to forget her.❤️❤️❤️
