I wrote a straightforward introductory guide to Kefir for loveFOOD, including a little bit of history and how to make it at home. Thank you to @RenBehan and Katrina Kollegaeva for cultural insights, and to @DaisyMeager for commissioning. lovefood.com/guides/110400/w…

Thought it might be good to repost my piece on @vittleslondon about women-led solidarity and idea of intersectional feminism; and note that my fee for this was matched by Vittles to support the Okra Project & African Rainbow Family (black trans charities) vittles.substack.com/p/vittl…

Word of the day is ‘latibulate’ (17th century): to hide in a corner in an attempt to escape reality.

The amazing people at @HalfTermMeals have created a postcode finder to link families up with free meals for kids. You just need to type in your postcode and it'll find places nearby helpoutwhenschoolsout.co.uk

I loved writing this beautiful feature for @galdemzine about the importance of South Asian-owned corner shops in the UK, especially amidst the lockdown. Thank you @CharlieBCuff 🤍

Me, talking about feminism, and spaces and networks.
Today's newsletter by @AnnaSulan is about how women-led support networks have nourished and bolstered political movements with food, and about the importance of international solidarity. Illustration by @AdaJusic

the no. 1 problem with media is that being a good editor is significantly more valuable than being a good manager when they should be valued equally. great editors are allowed to get away with murder if they’re putting out stories that perform well.

So I pitched and wrote something a little different. I've long wanted to write about decolonising travel and how to decolonise travel when we're away. This is just the start, I hope, as so much to say. Thank you @Greg_Dickinson @benross01 for the green light on this piece.
How to reverse the 'colonial gaze' when you travel.
An eloquent and important read from @no_fixed_plans

We set out to raise £2.5k for our community campaign. We never expected to raise £20,000 to fund the fightback against gentrification in Brixton!
Thank you everyone who donated — we have paused our gofundme.
Please read our open statement of intent as we move forwards.

In case you’ve missed it: Not only is Sohla one of the only front facing Bon Appetit editors to denounce EIC Adam Rapoport doing brown face, apparently only white BA editors are paid for their video appearances. Here’s her Instagram story just now

Please don't just post a black square. Write to your MP now with these demands:
- Immediate suspension of UK sales of teargas, riot shields + rubber bullets to the US
- Condemn Trump's use of force against his own citizens
- Release the delayed report into BAME Covid deaths

BREAKING: Whitehall sources tell me @PHE_uk review into BAME ppl disproportionately being affected by #COVID19 is delayed for 2nd time because No 10 is “worried about current global events”. They say it’s in “too close proximity” to the #BlackLivesMatterUK protests. More @SkyNews

Great piece by @navalang - unpicking whiteness as the norm, specific to the food world. And just wanting more! Representation is not enough - proper space is needed. eater.com/2020/5/20/21262304…
