I spent a day walking around London’s East End around Hackney, Shoreditch, Dalston and Bethnal Green with an incredible photographer friend Alan Schaller looking out for inspiration, oddities and niceties. Alan is a rising star in street photography. Thought relatively a newcomer to the field, he has already been featured and published by the likes of Time Out, Buzzfeed, The Independent and many more! His black & white work is truly outstanding and I really urge you to check it out!

Alan and I stumbled upon a strange sight in London – a farm! The Hackney City Farm is a fantastic project that for 20 years has allowed city kids to experience the farm environment and see up close in person the kind of animals that a child might not actually see for many years if living in a metropolis like London. It’s a very cool place and it was definitely a highlight of the day.

The below comes via BuzzFeed:
The story of Ugandans Lawrence Kaala and Jimmy Sserwadda ended in an almost storybook fashion—with a wedding. The two men wed in Sweden in late January, and are believed to be the first Ugandan couple to be legally married.
They had been in a long-term relationship until Sserwadda was forced to flee the country in 2008 after he was arrested and beaten for "promoting homosexuality."
"I didn't tell Lawrence. I know he would have insisted on coming with and that would have put our lives at risk. So I left him behind," he told The Local, a Swedish paper published in English.
Kaala didn't know what had happened to Sserwadda until 2011, when he had also gone into exile and by chance wound up in Sweden. Then Kaala came across a profile of Sserwadda published by a Swedish gay right's organization.
The two reunited, and planned to marry. But days before the wedding, they learned that Kaala's asylum petition had been denied. Activists said Sweden Migration Board doubted Kaala's story of persecution. His case was emblematic of a larger lack of sensitivity and understanding of the situation facing LGBT people in countries like Uganda.
Last week, the Migration Board reversed its decision, granting Kaala a residency permit. News reports say the board was swayed by the fact that Kaala had recieved death threats in Uganda after news of their wedding reached the country.
They were married in a Swedish church with more then 100 guests in attendance, including Sweden's Minister for European Union Affairs, Birgitta Ohlsson.

Nov. 7, 2019 - Hired as editor-in-chief in 2012, Ben Smith did for BuzzFeed—then best known for its lists, quizzes and viral videos—what few in the industry get to do: he built a news division from scratch. Although BuzzFeed’s entry into serious journalism was met with some skepticism, Smith grew its newsroom into a now-established force that has both garnered awards and generated controversy. In a conversation with Jayme Poisson, host of the CBC News podcast Front Burner, Smith discusses what’s next for BuzzFeed News.
