Hey all! So as you all know, Dad (who is nearly 80!) was walking throughout May to raise money for Parkinson’s UK for people like my mum. He ended up walking 201 miles! The fundraiser window is still open for another five weeks, and I’ve noticed he’s about £33 off of raising £3k! Please can I ask that we all share/like or possibly donate to help him get to that figure! Thank you all so much! Xx events.parkinsons.org.uk/fun…
Hi all! My Dad who is nearly 80, will be walking 100 miles during May to raise money for @ParkinsonsUK! This is for my mum who suffers with Parkinson’s and Dementia, he is her full time carer. Please share this far as you can and if you can, please donate to a worthy cause! Thank you so much! Xx events.parkinsons.org.uk/s/3…

Hi all! So Dad has now walked a massive 172 miles! Considering he’s 80 in September, and my mum’s full time carer, not to mention still on the Grandad duties, this is a huge achievement! Please continue to like/share and donate whatever you can to this brilliant fundraiser he is doing for Parkinson’s uk for people like my mum! Thank you! 💖 events.parkinsons.org.uk/s/3…

Maybe we’d build a healthier reading culture if people spent more time championing books they love rather than publicly humiliating the ones they don’t. Not every book is written for every reader. That’s fine. But the constant sneering around “bad” books or mocking people for what they enjoy reading creates an atmosphere where readers feel judged instead of welcomed. Reading for pleasure should never feel like a test. In the National Year of Reading 2026 and the message to GO ALL IN, this matters more than ever. If we want more people to read, discover bookshops, take chances on stories and build lifelong reading habits, then enthusiasm will always achieve more than literary snobbery.

This would be an ideal time for @jdforward @haaretzcom and @JewishNewsUK to present opinion pieces from Black Jews, Jews of Colour and Jews in interfaith/communal relationships about nuances and potential opportunities for anti-racism coalitions and work in response to attacks.

Excellent thread 👇
We keep treating hate like a series of isolated fires. We extinguish one only to find three more are elsewhere. ​If we do not step back and see the entire landscape, from far-right extremism to rising antisemitism, we just play whack-a-mole with symptoms as the system rots🧵 1/7

"Britain’s swift population declined by 66% between 1995 and 2022, largely due to widespread loss of nesting holes in older roofs and buildings" So what does💔#NetworkRail do They block their nesting sites, after traveling thousands of miles they are left with blocked nests
I’m just about to have a site visit with a Project Manager from @networkrail - I’ll be carrying our message loudly #saveourswifts #unblockthenests #ChapelMiltonViaduct

Physicist Brian Cox reminds us of a truth so profound it’s almost impossible to grasp: we are not just observers of the universe; we are a part of it that has finally woken up. Every atom in your body; the carbon in your skin, the iron in your blood, the oxygen you breathe; was forged in the intense, ancient furnaces of dying stars. For billions of years, those atoms drifted through the cold void, only to find themselves, by some miracle of cosmic chance, arranged in a pattern that can think, feel, and dream. As Carl Sagan famously said, we are a way for the cosmos to know itself. We are the means by which a universe of dust and gas suddenly starts writing symphonies, painting masterpieces, and asking where it came from. It sounds unlikely, perhaps even impossible. But here we are, sitting on a small blue rock, having a conversation about it. And that might be the most extraordinary thing of all.

Some good news for a change. 😻
Went for a quick nap and ended up sleeping for 6 weeks. Sorry. Have I missed much?

Far fewer accounts on this platform are promoting Jewish and Muslim understanding, empathy and care. This platform amplifies polarised positions for social media engagement. Most are promoting division, separation and clashes. However, we can all make a small step to building bridges.
