Every cause we believe in - climate action, equality, peace, welfare - depends on relearning our ability to argue for those things, in the democracy that we have, not the one we might want. Despair is natural, but it's not a strategy. There is a vast body of work to be done. END

Excited to be going on to new adventures soon, but it does mean I am leaving my very wonderful school. Please share the details of this Warwickshire Head of RE post. It really is a great opportunity #TeamRE mynewterm.com/jobs/137235/ED…

No, not 💯 Elon. In the U.K. they’re not going round ‘finding people who’ve said something they disagree with and putting them in a f—king cage.’ Some people are being charged for inciting racial hatred and for organising acts of violence. It’s very specific, and it’s the law in most democracies including the US. For example, one person has pleaded guilty today to inciting an attack on a hotel housing asylum seekers: an attack which then took place. Another hotel was set on fire, with people still inside. Freedom carries responsibility: and freedom of speech carries with it the responsibility of each of us to use our words wisely and to be aware of the damage misinformation can cause. To be clear, criminal violence directed towards various communities in the U.K. was perpetrated as a result of malicious and specifically targeted misinformation online. And it’s a relief no-one was killed. Words matter. And yet here you are, running a huge information network, and all you can do is post 💯 over something you choose not to verify for accuracy, not alert people to it’s highly damaging nature. In fact, because of who you are, your 💯 gives it a stamp of approval in the eyes of those who seek validation for their actions. What we say and do has real consequences. That’s because we’re not in a matrix, we’re in real life, and sticking 💯 on a lie doesn’t turn it into truth.

A story with a happy ending: The Edgbaston Eagle has landed! The 1868 brass eagle from St Augustine church's lectern was stolen on 10 June by someone who walked in and walked out of the Birmingham church with the bird under a blanket. The theft was captured on CCTV! 🧵

Drawing: Possible causes of your problems. I've been appalled at the scenes we've witnessed over the last few days. It's utterly unacceptable that people should have to live in fear because of the colour of their skin. [Polite comments only, please.]

It is custom to joyfully chant "Allah hu Akbar" on our hikes. It's a call to remember the greatness of God, and simply translates to "God is the greatest". It's time we educate against fear-mongering. #Islamophobia #Racism #UKRiots
