Just back from cracked and inspiring FiLiA and EU cousins. More in this soon.

Only for now, I don't think global scale is a goal of HM. Not in the way it's practiced now anyway.

Heartbreaking that the people who need the most care are the ones being abandoned.

It’s all about cruelty for them. 💔

Our Afghani taxi driver got it this morning when he asked: a conference for the human rights of women? Yes. He briefly said women from Afghanistan face terrible oppression, and seemed pleased when we said Afghani women were at, and were speakers, at @filiacharity.bsky.social #FiLiA2025

Portland is ... right there. It's a real place. People live in it. People can go look at it. You could call someone there right now.

Part of the transition from conservatism to authoritarianism is the shift from lies with some veneer of plausibility (wink wink) to lies that are demonstrably, obviously lies, such that accepting them involves an almost total subjugation of individual discernment or judgment.
