Don't underestimate the importance of this move. Well done to Spain and Italy. Now, who else is in? It may be too late for 70,000 murdered Palestinians, but international opinion is slowly beginning to turn. Speaking up does count. Do the right thing. Help #BreakTheSilence.

It's amazing the difference 48 miles can make, don't you think? #TelAviv #Gaza #BreakTheSilence

Summary of today's #UN investigation into Israel's actions in #Gaza.

Quote for the times. #Gaza #Ukraine #CharlieKirk #StephenMiller #Trump

Right now 'terrorists' are being arrested for doing something that most politicians and businesses are simply too afraid - or not willing - to do. Protest against the systematic destruction of life, property and any hope of peace in #Gaza. I know which side of history I want to be on. You?

WCK teams in Gaza are working nonstop to support their fellow Palestinians. We’ve put together answers to your questions about the current state of our operations. #ChefsForGaza (1/3)

Have a nice weekend, everyone.

If this is the price of unconditional support for "the only democracy in the Middle East" then this isn't the kind of democracy I grew up in. This is evil, pure and simple. #HumanityNow #Gaza

A tale of two headlines. How on earth did we get this so wrong? #Gaza #PalestineAction

This picture was drawn during a UNICEF play activity in #Gaza by a 7-year old boy called Yamen. He was asked to draw a wish. ✏️ And what did he draw? A sky without fighter planes or drones. 😔 I can't imagine the horrors these children are being put through. But I do know it needs to stop. 🛑

♥️ Really thrilled by the response to this so far. 🌍 If you care about what's going on in the world but, for whatever reason, struggle to do anything about it, I'd love you to join our growing 'from apathy to action' community. There's more on the website here: kiwanja.net/apathytoaction

Prosecute on the left. Pass on the right. #Hypocrisy

I'm looking for a few more people to become founding members of a new project exploring apathy in the face of global crises. If you care about what's going on in the world but struggle, for whatever reason, to do anything about it, I'd love you to take part. 🙏 kiwanja.net/apathytoaction

If you're as frustrated at the state of the world as I am, I may have just the thing for you. ♥️ Click here for more: kiwanja.net/apathytoaction Shares welcome. 🙏 #globalaffairs #apathy #activism

Not sure how we got to the point where three old white men get to decide on everyone's future.

Sending my thoughts and prayers this #FathersDay to all those out there doing the very best they can for their families, often in the most challenging and unimaginable of circumstances.

RIP America.

The anger says it all, doesn't it? Another day, another immoral, indiscriminate attack on innocent Palestinians. But tomorrow there will be another, and it will be quickly forgotten. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Exploring the tension in #Buddhism between personal enlightenment and very real social action, my latest blog post details many of the struggles I have with how I respond - or not? - to the levels of #conflict and violence we see in the world today. www.kiwanja.net/blog/2025/05...

I have been logged out of my toothbrush.

Ever wanted to talk about #Buddhism and #Money (or personal #finance), but didn't know where to start? Here's your chance, the first of a series by @maiaduerr.bsky.social , author of "Work That Matters: Create a Livelihood that Reflects Your Core Intention." www.buddhistdoor.net/features/the...

Works for me! #ThreeBooks

This is about the human cost of plastic. They work in the shadows of toxic dumpsites, sorting through the world’s waste - but no one sees them. @greenpeaceafrica.org’s new documentary gives waste pickers the spotlight they’ve always deserved. Watch it on bit.ly/44TrRKs #GlobalPlasticTreaty

Are we great yet?

If there was ever the time and the place for a book, this is that book and this is that time. It's no exaggeration to say that I was a different person before I started reading it. Powerful doesn't come close. You really should read this. I bet you won't be the same either. Link below. #Palestine

One of the most powerful book titles of all time. Because it's undeniably true.

One of the most surprising things I've learnt over the last couple of years has been how my long-standing anthropological approach to my work aligns so closely with traditional Buddhist thinking. 🙏 You can read more on 'Mindful action. Meaningful change' here: is.gd/b2EXwB #Buddhism #SocialImpact

I don't blog much these days, but I've been spending more and more time studying #Buddhism, #spirituality, #consciousness and #psychology. And it struck me that some of it might be worth sharing, particularly in the context of the social change work many of us do. 🙏 www.kiwanja.net/blog/2025/04...

Okay, so AI has its faults, but I do quite like Amazon AI's summary of what customers thought of my latest book, The Pursuit of Purpose. 😁 If you're curious and you want to read more, you can find it here: www.amazon.co.uk/Pursuit-Purp... #books #purpose #socialchange #meaningoflife

Heading off to a weekend retreat at the Cambridge Buddhist Centre today. Two days of teachings, meditation, reflection and silence. It's one of those things I've wanted to do for a very long time. Looking forward to this being the start of something rewarding, meaningful, and long-lasting. 🙏

Hi everyone.

Amazing fact of the day, given I don't have any words of wisdom to share right now. 😄 This famous image, used on the cover of Pink Floyd's 'The Division Bell' album, was taken in a field a couple of minutes walk from where we live. The church in the background is just a few houses away. Boom. 💥

💡Our Chief Innovation Officer @jamestweeets.bsky.social in @financialtimes.com today on how Trump's policy changes and anti-climate narrative could ignite a vital call for accelerated #innovation and investment across Europe’s climate tech ecosystem 👇 www.ft.com/content/ff39...

Today is World Book Day and, as I've done for the past few years, I'm excited to offer free digital copies of my books. 📗 📘 📕 Just read on for more. ⬇️ #WorldBookDay

Great morning with the Tech Team from @thebhf.bsky.social, sharing my 'thoughts and provocations' on the world of social innovation. Big thanks to Richard Dodd and Rob Way for the invite, and to everyone else for the lovely feedback. 🙏 Wonderful location at The Kia Oval, too. 🏏

How long before the fertiliser lobby groups latch onto this and try to close it down? www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Thought for the day.

While most of the planet watches on as the US subjects itself to insane amounts of self harm (not to mention the rest of us) it's probably worth remembering that the 49% who voted for this watch Fox News and think they're winning. 🙄

If Trump had been handled this way in the beginning, perhaps we'd not be in the mess we're in now. Go, Canada.

A quick word of encouragement to all those Development Studies graduates and aspiring global development professionals out there absorbing this week's #USAID news. (1/3)

What a week for America's enemies. Putting Trump in must qualify as the greatest act of national self-harm in history.
