[Dan Walker @mrdanwalker]

This week’s @thesheff1000 money went to @FaceEquality who exist to help anyone who has a visible difference, a scar, mark or condition that makes them look different.

I got to meet Ellie from the charity and she told me how ‘skin camouflage’ works and how they also offer…

Things we love to see: Disney Junior’s #Firebuds introduces Castor, a character born with a cleft "hood". 👏

[Victoria Coren Mitchell @VictoriaCoren]

Hello! Here's a thing from me about an episode of Only Connect.

[Adam Pearson @Adam_Pearson]

As both a fan of @OnlyConnectQuiz and as someone who is proudly considered a “BBC Guy” I was very frustrated and disappointed to see this last night. As someone who has sat on many panels on this exact subject - I am forced to ask - have I taught you nothing? #NoShame

[Changing Faces @FaceEquality]

What is a shame is that we’re still perpetuating the myth that there's something wrong with visible differences like scars.

We hope you will commit to learning about how to better represent those with visible differences.

Dear @BBC & @OnlyConnectQuiz.

We were disappointed and shocked to see scars described as “marks of shame” on your show recently.

There is #NoShame in having a scar.
