Spotted this poster at today’s overwhelmingly peaceful, good-natured, inspirational Palestine march in London. Yes, many of us feel the same.

Autumn poem just dropped.
[The poem has been written in the shape of a deciduous tree with letters (or ‘leaves’) missing from the text]:

is t  at once t   ere ar   ives
the fir   t sti   rings of    he new aut   mn breeze,  
  he       oems will begi    to shake    hemselves ge   tly  
  ntil their letters loos   n like leaves,
an they d start to float down
then
 
[The missing letters from the tree have landed on the last line to form the phrase]

[The final ‘d’ is floating down to complete the phrase.]

When a fox appears in a neighborhood, a deer crosses a road, or a raccoon wanders through a backyard, they aren’t reading our property lines—they’re adapting to a landscape we changed. Before asking: Why are they here? perhaps we should ask: What happened to where they used to be?

Why are so many people falling for misinformation? A new study suggests the biggest danger isn't outrageous conspiracy theories – it's claims built around a grain of truth that feel plausible. That's what makes them so persuasive.

Jason Arday's utterly sad death holds a stark mirror up to the dehumanising political-media-societal culture we are in – one we must all be honest about being complicit in – which forgets there is a human being at the centre of a story, a case study, an issue, a scandal. It is dehumanising.
