"Mahsa Jina Amini, your name will become the message." And it did. Across borders and languages, your name carries a demand for freedom, dignity, and a woman’s right to live on her own terms. We remember you. Woman, Life, Freedom. زن، زندگی، آزادی Jin, Jiyan, Azadî.

The speed with which far-right sentiment has captured large chunks of Liverpool and its surrounding... quite frightening. Could see it happening in 2021-2022, budding out of government distrust re: COVID response, but the last few years have seen a rapid acceleration.

Sina built worlds in Minecraft. He deserved to grow up in a free one. His schoolbook has remained open since January 8 as he never came home to study He dreamed of becoming a doctor, and joined his mother in the January protests hoping for a free Iran. He deserved the chance to live that future.

"I'm hesitant to say".... This seems like a decent kid who probably has the odd frustration, like so many, and had just got himself lost in a rabbit hole which social media just deepens and deepens, with not much of a way out... This will only get worse in the era of AI #UKIP

I once came home from uni to see two strangers sitting peacefully and drinking tea with my grandmother in the kitchen. They were a English boy and a girl in their early twenties, both from Yorkshire, who spoke absolutely fluent Persian with only the faint hint of a Leeds accent.

The @RNLI has been saving lives at sea for over 200 years. They're only in the business of saving human beings from drowning, not culture/race wars nonsense. Only 1.2% of their rescues are in the Channel, yet these Nazis are calling them a taxi service for illegal migrants. #RNLI

That is the heart of his poem: humanity is bound together, and another person’s suffering concerns us all. Its importance lies in what it asks of us, to let that shared humanity guide how we respond. Thank you for putting that into practice. For caring about humans, not sides in an argument.

For understanding that caring about Iranians takes nothing away from caring about anyone else. Centuries ago, the Iranian poet Saadi Shirazi gave us “Bani Adam”: چو عضوی به درد آورد روزگار دگر عضوها را نماند قرار When one limb suffers, the others cannot remain at rest.

Thank you for recognising that behind every death was a person with dreams, people who loved them, and a life they deserved to live. Thank you for raising your voice when the narrative seemed complicated. For listening without immediately reaching for "Yeah, but what about…?"

Thank you for your message. I appreciate no one was invited, but was just intrigued as to how I'm in the starter pack. I am happy to share my atheism & agnosticism with those who believe in faiths. And of course, vastly prefer a world with a progressive approach to religion than the alternative....

I have nothing against people of faith, but I’ve absolutely no idea why I’m in this group, @sufism.bsky.social I’m firmly committed to humanism and secularism. I don’t believe in religion or any higher power: my outlook is one of principled atheism and agnosticism.
