Trigger warning: Police violence, dead animals, guns. Is this what the are doing with their time? Targeted an unarmed (potentially unhoused) man and killing his pets? Focus on institutionalised misogyny and racism in your force instead, please.

A poignant reminder of how personal it can be for members of the diaspora who write, report, or speak on crises in their motherlands. For the detached white western analyst, it may be a career path, but for many in the diaspora, it’s the lives of their immediate family members.

The cutest thing just happened there is literally a carriage full of us muzzie girls passing by arsenal station, we ask out loud what the score was and this guy tells us and then says Eid Mubarak :) and one of the girls asks ‘are you an arsenal fan’ he says ‘no I’m Muslim’ :)))))

6 Ramadan's ago the biggest massacre took place right before our eyes - The Grenfell Tower fire. There's still been no justice served for the victims & fire safety in the UK, shows you how unjust this political system is. Whilst they can fund wars but can't help those in need.

Literally! Most Western celebrities put on a suit that looks like it’s from Whitechapel Market (no hate, I love that place) and think it’s enough but these looks? I’m obsessed 🤩

I’m so, so heartbroken to hear that gal-dem is closing. Like many other women of colour, gal-dem gave me my first paid commission as a journalist and it’s one of the few publications I’ve felt constantly seen in and heard by. Thank you for everything, 🤍
