@TfL morning! Is there an issue on the northern line? Our southbound train via Charing X keeps stopping for a couple of minutes at a time with no announcements as to why. Thanks!
As a child bereaved by fatal domestic abuse, headlines calling a man who killed three women a “nice guy” and “normal person” have felt personally traumatic.
The media called my father a “gentle man” and “nice chap”, which misrepresented the controlling reality that myself and my family experienced for years. It compounded our trauma.
Reporting like this causes so much damage – both to victims’ families, and to public understandings of coercive control. It has to stop. Now.
We need every single newsroom trained in how to report domestic abuse deaths, and to lobby the regulator for stronger rules. The press has the power to prevent further deaths and save women’s lives.
Please support this crowdfunder I’ve started to support @we_level_up’s crucial work to train journalists in their Dignity For Dead Women guidelines.
This takes all of us ➡️ https://t.co/iPJGFUs7Qn
@TfL hi is there a reason why there apparently is a good service on northern line and also more than a 13min wait for next tube? Happened several times recently. Thanks
This is an incredible piece of work by @JonathanPieNews.
From the research, to the sequencing, to the performance.
You want to know why so many people are turning away from vapid MSM and looking to political comedy & alternative news? Look no further. 👇
My heart is broken💔: As friends & family know, my wife was pregnant with our 2nd child, & about to begin her 2nd trimester. A few days ago she had severe pains, & bleeding, and had to go to the emergency room. There, it was discovered that our baby no longer had a heartbeat. Devastated doesn't come close to what that feels like.
Unfortunately for people like us, because of the current laws in the state of Texas, that was only the beginning of this nightmare. Jess (my wife) had an "incomplete miscarriage", and what needed to happen, what was best for HER, and her health, was to terminate the pregnancy, and get the baby out.
The doctor gave her a medication that would move this process along, and sent her home. Where, apparently we would be handling it ourselves. We were told it might take a couple of attempts before it worked.
I'll let you decide how you feel about that.
After a long, painful night of the equivalent of early labor, the baby was still with her. So, we went back to the Emergency Center to get the 2nd dose. A new doctor was on call. He was an older man. You could hear him in the hallway as he said, "I'm not giving her a pill so she can go home and have an ab*rtion!". Being well aware that our baby no longer had a heartbeat. Then, he came into the room to say, and I quote: "Considering the current stance. I'm not going to prescribe you this pill". Then, just sent us on our way.
The "CURRENT STANCE"?! Did he really just say that?!
No one should ever have to hear their wife say: "Get this dead baby out of me!".
Can you even imagine how that must feel?
The pain, and the bleeding continued. So, we decided to go to another hospital, about an hour away. There was a female doctor on call there, and we thought we might have better luck.
I should probably mention, the procedure to get the baby out is called a D & C. It's scary, & traumatizing, but sometimes necessary in situations like ours. Especially in emergency circumstances.
So we get to the next hospital. They take Jess in, ask her a bunch of questions, do a new scan... confirm that the baby is still there, with no heartbeat, and then disappear... for hours. Only to come back in and keep asking the same questions over and over. It's becoming clear that they're primary concern is NOT my wife's health. Instead, they seem to be worried about the legalities involved.
So, they decide it is not "enough of an emergency" to perform the D & C.
They do, however, prescribe another, stronger, final dose of the medication for us to try again... at home.
So, we go home to try again. Another long day/night of early labor pains. Only to discover my wife UNCONSCIOUS in the bathroom. Having to pick my wife's cold, limp body off of that bathroom floor, not sure if I was about to lose her, is something I will NEVER forget.
She had to be rushed to the hospital.
By this point she had lost so much blood, and bodily fluid, her body gave out.
They were able to stabilize her, give her the fluids she needed, and we came back home yesterday afternoon. We were also able to confirm that our baby was no longer with her.
Now, not only do we have to live with the loss of our baby... we have to live with the nightmare of what we just experienced because of political and religious beliefs. MY WIFE'S HEALTH SHOULD HAVE COME FIRST. PERIOD!
God knows what mental and emotional damage this has done.
If you consider yourself a staunch "pro-lifer" ... 1) You've never been through what we just went through, and 2) You should take a long, hard look in the mirror and reevaluate your reasons for supporting such a cold, barbaric, ignorant point of view.
It's not that black & white, and it's never going to be.
If you think your "Pray To End Ab*rtion" sign in your yard is "Christian", I suggest you revisit the teachings of Jesus and try again. If you support these laws that make ab*rtion illegal, and result in people being put through what we just were, you should be ashamed of yourself. I've never been so angry, or heartbroken... and the devastation I'm feeling must pale in comparison to what my poor wife is feeling.
You told me to guide those who contacted me to you instead..but those same people are now coming back to me because of lack of reply or because they weren’t given the info for the police report (which I explicitly sent to you to inform the victims of criminal fraud!!)
@TfL please could you ask your tube drivers to speak loudly, clearly and not mumble when announcing issues on the line?
It's so hard to hear over engine noise etc. I checked the website as I had signal & it said no issues, though eventually could make out "signal problem"
In all the #Dispatches fall out, remember that 1 in 4 of your female friends and 1 in 6 of your male friends will be survivors, maybe they never said anything but they’re survivors. They’ll see and hear everything you say and comments about sexual abuse. Please remember that.
Does anyone know how the @DonmarWarehouse daily release works? I appreciate they'll go quickly but twice now, I've been refreshing from 9:58 on the booking page and it shows absolutely nothing. Is it just pure luck that you refresh your browser a nano second quicker to book?
After months of planning tomorrow is the 1st day of rehearsals for The Scottish Graduate Showcase @NTSonline I am so excited to get in the room with all the talented people involved. Any industry folks it's next Weds (13th) @traversetheatre message me if you want to come along!
@scorpioredhair I'm sorry for your loss Sue. I never knew of this tragedy and have just spent the past half hour reading up on it, absolutely horrific 💔
Theatre does not and can not happen without front of house staff. If you can’t respect them, then don’t create theatre. They are the people that put up with the brunt of the shit and they get zero thanks because it’s “part of the job”. Respect your front of house staff. The end.
