Random internet Quaker: *mentions BYM*
Me: "which one? BritYM or BaltYM?"
And that's only with the context that the person had mentioned "unprogrammed". Burundi YM, Bware YM…
Friends, there are WAY more than 26 YMs. (There's about 20 in Africa!) A single letter + "YM" is likely to be ambiguous.

Spotted the text below at the end of the minutes of a meeting of #Quakers. I'm confident there is an interesting back story.
"Footnote: If you would like the minutes to be shorter, please remove this footnote from your personal copy."

Pleased to see radio astronomer from UCC, Denise Gabuzda, speak on behalf of the quakers at the inauguration of Cathleen Connolly as 10th president of Ireland! #Quakers #aras25 #Astronomy
I read a long letter letter this morning on here about Quakers supporting trans and non-binary people. But I can’t find it in my timeline. If you saw that post, can you send my way?
Just heard that a member of our Quaker Meeting was arrested on terrorism charges this morning by Police Scotland. His offence holding a sign the Government don't like at a demonstration in Edinburgh on Saturday 6 September. They didn't do it at the time because they want to pick people off secretly to avoid publicity.
This is absurd, especially as Fascists call for murder and insurrection on our streets

Quakers in Britain has been refused permission to give evidence in a landmark legal challenge to the #UK #LINO government's proscription of #PalestineAction as a #terrorist group.
“For #Quakers, faith and action are inseparable," said Paul Parker, recording clerk for Quakers in Britain. “Peaceful protest, prayer, and non-violent action are expressions of our worship. When this is criminalised, our religious freedom is under attack."
"Too often, history remembers white #Quaker abolitionists, like Robert Pleasants, Warner Mifflin, Anthony Benezet, John Woolman and Benjamin Lay, but forgets the Black people who compelled them to act. The names of those who resisted—James, Grace, Jane, Jack, Dolphin, Ash, Nace and many others—must be spoken aloud." #Quakers#Religion#Spirituality#Justice#History cc: @friendsjournalhttps://www.friendsjournal.org/black-resistance-to-quaker-enslavement/

Waking up to the first morning at Britain Yearly Meeting 2025 in Friends House, London, and this is my first bulletin. Almost 2000 quakers attending in body or online, so hoping the fully blended experiment works. The clerks have a job I wouldn’t want.
