**What this is** In-person speed friending night for women who want to meet other women without apps or awkward small talk. You’ll have short one-to-one chats that rotate every few minutes, followed by time to stay and talk with anyone you click with. Most women come on their own. That’s normal here. The format takes the pressure off and makes it easy to settle in, even if you’re a bit nervous at first. This is friending first. Anything else happens naturally. It’s a standing event with short conversations, followed by open social time. You don’t need to prepare anything or know what to say. You won’t be put on the spot, and you won’t be left awkwardly standing around. If you’ve been wanting to meet more women in real life, this is a good place to start. **How to attend** You must register in advance to attend. Register here: [www.thelcommunity.com/speed-friending/](https://thelcommunity.com/speed-friending/) The venue will be released on the week of the event. **Arriving and support** The booking is under the name Jenny. If you’re nervous, arriving alone, can’t find us, or have any difficulty at all, you can message at any point — days before, on the day, or during the event. If it helps, we can have someone come outside to meet you. **WhatsApp Jenny** WhatsApp only (calls or messages): **+44 7591 386019** Normal calls or texts won’t go through on this number. **Important** This is a female-only lesbian space. That boundary is clear and upheld at events. If that doesn’t work for you, this won’t be the right event. **Staying connected** Registering for an event is separate from joining the wider community. If you’d like to stay connected between events, access the private WhatsApp group, and join the wider network, you can register here: [www.thelcommunity.com/go](www.thelcommunity.com/go)

The weather is getting absolutely gorgeous in London ☀️ It has been a long winter, and now it is time to go out and enjoy nature. Join us on this unique UXers Nature Walk and learn about the area we are focused on this year to drive social impact through our [Responsible Design for Change Fellowship](https://www.ux4change.org/responsible-design-for-change-fellowship/). Get a chance to meet our founder, Sandra Gonzalez, and some of the fellows who are currently enrolled in the third cohort of the Fellowship. This is a very lovely opportunity to connect with nature and our community. You are welcome to bring your pet and/or your children, especially if you are juggling half-term at the moment. We will end the walk at the Princess of Wales to share a drink and network a bit. We look forward to spending a lovely afternoon with you.

THIS IS A PAID EVENT, BUY TICKETS HERE - [https://www.girlywinenight.com/events/p/fri-29-may-girly-games-night-play-chat-mix](https://www.girlywinenight.com/events/p/fri-29-may-girly-games-night-play-chat-mix) Remember when hanging out just meant sitting on the floor, playing games, and eating snacks? We’re bringing that exact energy back - but upgrading it with better drinks and a gorgeous venue. Making friends as an adult in London can feel like hard work. You can go to a crowded bar and still leave feeling totally unanchored. Networking events feel stiff, and small talk can be exhausting. But bonding over a fiercely competitive round of Uno? That’s instant. This May, we are swapping the small talk for a little friendly chaos. We’ve packed the room with easy, nostalgic games that do all the heavy lifting for you. No four-hour strategy games with complicated rules—just fast, fun icebreakers designed to get you laughing and chatting immediately. **What’s on the games menu?** * **The Classics:** Uno, Dobble, Monopoly Deal, other easy to learn games (because nothing bonds people faster than the betrayal of a +4 card). * **Quiz Bits:** Casual, low-stakes table trivia to spark fun debates. * **The Wildcard:** Yes, we’re rolling out the Twister mat. Tangled limbs are strictly optional, but highly encouraged if you're feeling brave! **Drinks in parity ✨** We serve alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks in full parity - same moment, same beautiful glass, same vibe. No awkward “different drink” energy and absolutely no assumptions. Whether you're drinking or taking the night off, you get the exact same premium experience. **What your ticket includes:** * 🥂 **The Welcome Toast:** A glass of Wednesday’s Domaine Welcome Sparkling (served to everyone as you walk in). * 🍷 **Your Drink of Choice:** Choose one drink from our curated menu on the night — alcoholic or non-alcoholic. * 🃏 **Unlimited Gameplay:** Free rein over our curated station of party games. * 🥨 **Sharing Snack Boards:** Focaccia, olives, and picky bits to fuel your winning streak. *Other food and drinks will be available to purchase at the bar if you fancy another round.* Come entirely solo (most people do!) or drag a friend along - either way, you’ll be welcomed with open arms and a hand of cards 💛 **Photos & content** We’ll be taking a few photos and short videos on the night to capture the fun for our website and socials. If you’d rather not be on camera, just let me know when you arrive (or DM me beforehand) and I’ll make sure you stay out of the frame 💛 **Drinking responsibly** We’re all about a feel-good night — please drink responsibly and look after yourself (and each other). With our drinks in parity, you can absolutely keep it no/low-alc and still have the exact same fabulous vibe. If you need water at any point, just ask.

In recent months, South Africa has witnessed growing tensions around immigration, identity, economic inequality, and social belonging. Public debate has increasingly focused on questions of migration, citizenship, xenophobia, and the treatment of African migrants within African societies. **The Association of Black Humanists and Bolelang Rakeepile of the South African Atheists** invites members of the public, activists, scholars, students, and community leaders to a thoughtful and respectful discussion exploring these issues through a humanist lens. Together, we will examine: \* What drives hostility toward immigrants and foreign nationals? \* How do colonial history, inequality, and economic hardship shape current attitudes? \* What does humanism teach us about human dignity, solidarity, and shared humanity? \* Can borders coexist with compassion and justice? \* How do we challenge xenophobia while addressing legitimate social concerns? This conversation seeks to encourage critical thinking, empathy, and constructive dialogue at a time when division and fear threaten social cohesion across the continent. Bolelang will lead the discussion and he would also be happy to answer questions from the audience. **Date: 30 May 2026** **Time: 3pm (London time) please arrive by 2.45pm** **Venue: Pembury Community Centre,** **1 Atkins Square, Dalston Lane, E8 1HL** Admission is free and all are welcome. A voluntary donation of £3 would be much appreciated. **No human being is illegal. Our shared humanity must remain greater than our borders!!**

Exciting event from comrades at Compass and the Progressive Economy Forum! [Tickets here.](https://actionnetwork.org/ticketed_events/may_30_2026?source=cmpswebsite&) Last year, Compass brought together 450+ progressive pioneers at ‘Change:HOW? A Decade of Radical Renewal’ to re-orient the current Labour government’s promise of a ‘decade of national renewal’. This was an amazingly successful day and a springboard for our work in the Labour Party to get organised, energised and mobilised through Mainstream. But the past year has proven one thing above all else: the need for an organised progressive agenda **across** parties and movements, the **relationships** to make that agenda happen, and the **urgency** of making change. That’s why Compass is thrilled to be working with [Progressive Economic Forum](https://progressiveeconomyforum.com/) to host **‘Change:NOW! Mobilising the Progressive Majority’**, a day of debate, disagreement and deliberation between progressives of all parties (and none!) on **Saturday 30th May 2026.** The conference will feature speakers from across the progressive parties and movements, including keynote speeches from **Mayor Andy Burnham, Caroline Lucas,** and **Gary Stevenson.** Please find a full speaker list below. We’ll also be joined by partners including **Friends of the Earth, UCL Policy Lab, New Economics Foundation, Make Votes Matter, Unlock Democracy,** and **Migrant Democracy Project.** We are splitting the day between focusing on what policies we need to deliver the change to reset our economy, and the political and cultural changes we need to bring about those policies. Through establishing consensus on political strategy and economic direction - and highlighting the important differences in detail across progressive parties and the wider movement - this event will be the catalyst for the change our country so desperately needs. So whether you’re a Labourite, a Green, a Lib Dem, otherwise spoken for or unaligned, get your ticket today and join us for what promises to be an inspiring and imaginative day of ideas and political debate! The event will take place on **Saturday 30th May** at **Rich Mix**, 35-47 Bethnal Green Road, London, E1 6LA.

She has exposed her legs in a biblical city, an act they deem forbidden, and their judgement will echo on through her adolescence. When our narrator finally admits to her mother that she is queer, her mother's response only intensifies a sense of shame: 'You exist too much,' she tells her daughter. Told in vignettes that flash between the U.S. and the Middle East--from New York to Jordan, Lebanon, and Palestine--Zaina Arafat's debut novel traces her protagonist's progress from blushing teen to sought-after DJ and aspiring writer.
