The Reverend Sue Parfitt, from Bristol, was detained for holding a placard that read: “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action.” She was among more than 27 people arrested on Saturday for acts of defiance against the proscription.

    I saved your post about saving a post because it makes me less depressed and more warm and fuzzy inside. You are a good person and you clearly care <3

      Oh, thank you so much. I wish I let myself believe that I am what you just described. You do seem to fit the description you assigned me very well from this very brief interaction.

      Let us all keep spreading warm and fuzzy feels on and on to as many people as we can.

      The world certainly needs an antidote to spread against the vile current that is dragging us all into a hole of despair.

      We can’t let that happen!

      Unfortunately, I often do let myself go in that direction.

      So thank you for pulling me the other way.

        “One of the most calming and powerful actions you can do to intervene in a stormy world is to stand up and show your soul. Soul on deck shines like gold in dark times. The light of the soul throws sparks, can send up flares, builds signal fires, causes proper matters to catch fire. To display the lantern of soul in shadowy times like these - to be fierce and to show mercy toward others; both are acts of immense bravery and greatest necessity.”

        From a letter by Clarissa Pinkola Estes, https://www.awakin.org/v2/read/view.php?tid=2195

          Thank your for such reply and the link as well. The text you linked shares a lot of inspiration for these trying times.

          And oh, how we definitely need it.
