Lawrence Nault- Stone & Signal"Sometimes the most radical thing you can do is stay—in a place, in a relationship, in a truth you’ve outgrown but are still tending." L. Nault
Emma DavidsonDavid Shoebridge is right when he says that the impact of war is always inflicted on ordinary people.
We have a choice to make.
I choose people.
I choose peace.
Sunny afternoon so I went for a walk around the Siev X memorial in Weston Park.
146 children, 142 mothers, and 65 fathers died when the 20m long boat they were in sank in October 2001.
The memorial was put together by 300 schools, churches and community groups to remind us that we want to be a nation where love is stronger than fear, and kindness is stronger than greed.

Ash Barber“We are a society that is paying for its inability to understand mental illness in its hospitals and prisions.” Oof! 🔥 @emmadavidson on Open justice within a justice reinvestment framework at @everythingopen “Better managing trauma & mental abuse can reduce existence in the justice system.”
We need more data. We need better data. We need Open data. To be able to turn this around.
“Justice is what love looks like in public” (qtd in ED’s talk).

Greg JohnsonJohann Arndt, German #Lutheran theologian, on “true Christianity”. The experience of divine compassion in God’s mercy does create compassion for neighbors in need of mercy.
Today, entire TV networks are available to help one consider how people in difficulty have made their own bed.
How can you view the needs of those around you in light of God’s provision and mercy to you?

Radical Love - Non Profit News | Nonprofit Quarterly
Where is the love? bell hooks guides us: “All great social movements for freedom and justice in our society have promoted a love ethic.” Love is not an individual attribute or achievement, nor is it the sole commodity of the couple. Love is a social pursuit. In celebration of Valentine’s Day, the NPQ team offers you a collection of our published articles about the social dimension of love, about love as a pursuit of collective freedom and justice. Love, the fifth element, can empower us to live our best lives and enhance the lives of all living things. The question—how do we build a world based in love?—even served as a guide for Nonprofit Quarterly Magazine’s Winter 2023 issue, where we aimed to put the answers to that question into practice. Love is formidable, should we be open to its possibilities. This collection includes discussions of how love can impact our healing, climate, economy, sense of accountability, and society at large. From radical, revolutionary, and political love to love combined with science and creativity, we hope you feel loved and learn new ways to consider the power of love in every aspect of your life!
