Yesterday, my time as Croydon's first Poet Laureate came to a close. My final event was an 'In Conversation' with the wonderful Joy Francis of @WordsofColour talking all things poetry, my journey & my faith. .
Good grief.
A testimony from Sudan thats been haunting me all day: A mother ran through sugarcane plantations to escape UAE backed RSF militia. When she got away, she looked down at the bundle in her arms only to realize her baby had fallen out somewhere along the way and she couldnt go back
If you no longer see reports about Israeli massacres in northern Gaza, it’s not because they have stopped, but because the Israeli occupation has killed most of the journalists there for this exact reason: to keep you from knowing about them. Massacres are being committed 24/7
Sarah Strong is the BIG EAST Freshman of the Week! Sarah averaged 15.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 4.0 steals per game while shooting 65.0% in her first two games as a Husky.

This is utterly disgusting.
Burberry burned $36,500,000 of clothes in one year. Not because they couldn't sell them. Because they didn't want YOU to have them. The disturbing truth about luxury's dirtiest secret🧵

I don’t think anyone will ever be able to fully comprehend the extent of intergenerational trauma that is being created right now as we speak. This will be a stain on the history of humanity forever.
a child in gaza slept on his mothers grave last night just so he can feel close to her… 💔
How am I only just learning about Donyale Luna??? And as someone who studied fashion. Thank you Sky Documentaries for educating me
The erasure of Black people from history never ceases to astound me.
I actually cannot contain my excitement
Vey interesting read by Uncle in 2016 that is still relevant today with a perfect clickbait title (read it in full to catch the sarcasm) huffpost.com/entry/why-dona…
YASSSSSSS!
where are the Black philanthropists supporting Black artists in the UK? there’s a festival in Nigeria a director is trying to go to as her film is playing there and there is no fund that covers this in full where you don’t have to jump through ten thousand hoops.
800 libraries have been closed due to spending cuts since 2010 — a fifth of the UK's total. And many of those that remain have seen their opening hours cuts.

no matter who wins, bombs will keep falling on Palestine, immigrants will keep being placed in concentration camps, illegal blockade of Cuba will continue, Congolese will still be exploited and forced to work in cobalt mines for Tesla electric cars and Apple mobile phones
