Happy new year! Has been an extraordinary, tumultuous but on balance good 2018 for me. The main work thing is that I joined @DoughtyStPublic at beginning of Jan and it has been a wonderful journey. Delighted that it worked out as moving chambers after 9 years is no small thing 🙂
Also moved from directing to chairing the @rights_info board in Jan so some big changes all at once. Delighted that has worked well too, and have an amazing, inspiring staff team in place.
Got stuck into the Labour antismetism issue which was a rocky ride, though I have learned a huge amount and I hope made a small difference to how things have gone. Personally exposing but, hey, sometimes you gotta put your head over the parapet and risk being hit by rotten fruit
Some great stuff planned for 2019, if it all works out. Will let you know!

Lots of love to everyone - in the words of Homer Simpson, may 2019 bring you the dizzying highs, the terrifying lows but especially the creamy middles...

😘🥰🥳

Thatcher’s resignation
No wait it was Mandella’s release - that was earlier in the same year

No wait, it was the fall of the Berlin Wall

I’m not very good at this. It was stuff that happened in about 1989/90

I wasn’t very interested in politics
Wait, does Scott and Charlene’s wedding count?

Have dusted off my Nintendo Wii and playing through Super Mario Galaxy with my 8-year-old. Extreme fun and pleasure!
Such an amazingly imaginative and charming game and surprisingly good with two players
Watching a child play a classic Nintendo game for the first time is an amazing pleasure. These games are magical. Takes me back to playing Super Mario World on my friend's imported Super Famicom in 1991 #nerd

What a shame. I was heartened to see the Golders Green mosque, which got a lot of nasty criticism from within the Jewish community when it took over the building, was organising an outreach event commemorating Muslims who helped Jews during the Holocaust. Now cancelled.
Here is the story. Another example of the damaging hostility shown to Muslim-Jewish interfaith events by @RmSalih (see also his idiotic response to the @MitzvahDay chicken soup making event) journal.quilliaminternational.com/2019/01/04/the…
@RmSalih @MitzvahDay The event was a travelling exhibition by internationally renowned Holocaust museum Yad Vashem. Here’s what the chicken soup truther had to say

Good evening my people, happy new year once again , today's story will come rather earlier than usual😊.

I am telling a story about a man who narrowly escaped a taboo and later in life rose to be a name that rings bell

STORY TITLE : ALAJO SOMOLU (Alphaeus Taiwo OLUNAIKE)
Many don't know him by his name, he is widely known as baba alajo Somolu.

He was born at a very dangerous time; a perilous period in history. It was on the 16th of September 1915 in the city of Isan-Oyin (now called Isonyin); close to Ijebu-Musin and Ijebu-Ode in Ogun State
southwestern Nigeria. Within the thick groves of thick forests and the brilliant foliage of green tropical plants, the cries of newly-born babies pierced the calm and peace of the forest.

Happy New Year. I just spoke to my father, & here is a small story about the act of speaking.
1/
I live & work with words as a writer, reader, & organizer of written work. My father, though not much of a writer, also loved words. At my childhood dinner table, the dictionary was a common companion. He would make me look up words I didn't know & we would talk about them. 2/
He didn't read as much as my mother did, but then few people do. He read a lot though, and loved books. He also loved to talk. I would have to plan my phone calls for when I had a free hour or two. 3/

Happy new year all! @safewordisDS asked us in our Reylo Fic Recs FB group for our fave fics of 2018. This has literally taken me hours of deliberation...coz I love errrything...all these had to have been completed by December 31, 2018. Without further ado...
Set in 1994, this Russian Mafia AU made me CRAZY. The depth of research gave it such a tremendous sense of place. And Kyril Ren is fucking sexy. And BANYAS people! @voicedimplosive u blew my mind
I loves me some ReyLogan and boy, did @PD3Reylo deliver! With an underlying thriller plot a la Sleeping with the Enemy, I loved every update. And the Clyde in this one was so unassuming and gentle you can’t help but love him.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Thank you for an incredible 2018! I'm so grateful for all of you and the insane opportunities and experiences that I've had!

I had a goal of 25,000 subscribers for the end of this year and ended it with 36,300+ subscribers with December being the biggest one yet!
At the beginning of August, I hit 1 million views & this year I end with 3 MILLION views.

I recorded a super candid & vulnerable thank you for everyone who got me there at the end of this video. I was so grateful & humbled back then & I'm even more now.

2018 was the year that I found community. I discovered an amazing community of people who watched me, which blows my mind. I still underestimate all of you every time ❤️🙏

We started building a more intentional community of kind & helpful people. Join us: bit.ly/tittdiscord
