I share this because it captures how many of us feel these days. We cannot look away.

When you're about to order from Pret, Nero, or Costa, take a moment to look around. If there's a local or independent coffee shop nearby, go there instead. #Support_local.

Didn't mention Starbucks >> general consensus is no one goes there anyway. #boycott_starbucks

From the book "The biometric border world";

The government decides on your family ties based on a bone X-ray; it is intrusive, absurd and dehumanising. The same government decides what counts as your kinship. This just breaks my heart.
