New Fediverse Guide:

@martinkubler and I put together a little guide to the fediverse, mostly directed at #Quakers to try get new users to come aboard, but I think this would be helpful beyond just the Quaker community.

Find the guide here: https://friendsonthefediverse.com

#Quakers: in the Washington, D. C. area you can't spell Friends without Feds.

We gathered in silence today.
No rush.
No noise.
Just space to listen.
May we carry a little of that quiet with us into the week ahead.

Vi samlades i stillhet idag.
Ingen brådska.
Inget brus.
Bara utrymme att lyssna.
Må vi bära med oss lite av den stillheten in i veckan som kommer.

Back on the train, after a peaceful (Quaker) meeting in its safe and welcoming silence.
I did a lot of thinking today about goodness, and listening to others words, I managed to stitch some of my own mangled thoughts into sense.

We are not supposed to be perfect. Just practise being good.

Nothing mindblowing, no deities to please. But its important to me, someone who judges themselves against impossible standards, and reframing it without guilt.

Definitely feel lighter on the return trip.

Over the past year I’ve found myself rediscovering Quakerism - something that began during my university years in London.
At the same time, I’ve slowly been finding my place in the Fediverse.
A post by @wess stuck with me:
“The Quaker tradition is the Fediverse of Christianity.”
That post sparked a conversation between us, which eventually led to a short guide we wrote together: “The Fediverse for Friends.”

#Quakers are the most peaceful people I've ever encountered.

This kind of state brutality should not be tolerated.

We are citizens; we can prevent it if we choose to...

Met Police raids Quaker meeting, 15 people arrested

A Quaker meeting house has been raided by the Metropolitan Police while the group held a non-violence training session—up to no good, clearly

Again? They didn't even wait a full year? **Again??**

Quaker Meeting House raided by Metropolitan Police again

Yesterday evening, 5 March 2026, for the second time in a year, the Metropolitan Police raided a Quaker Meeting House and arrested a number of young nonviolent activists who were meeting there, on the grounds that they were conspiring to commit a criminal act.

“Whilst we take the planning of criminal acts very seriously, we believe that this incident is a deliberate targeting of committed young people who want to make our country a more equitable place. This raid is part of a systematic stifling of dissent.

That this is the second time in a year that the police have raided our meeting house dramatically illuminates the broader trend in the UK of cracking down on those who disagree with the government.”
