His date of birth is 17 Dec 2005. Please retweet this. If you know him, please tell him to remain anonymous. He just needs to contact DKMS, even if it’s to say ‘no’. That would give us closure.

Someone needs to explain to me what the government's plan for UK universities to survive is...

@TrouserMastery @dandouglas The best Indian take away in the city - Nazrul’s Songarow - is on this street. So that’s something…

[Christoph Schuringa @chrisschuringa]

No one seems to think it even worth asking the question what the UK government is doing to save the country’s universities

@SincDavidson There was nothing they didn’t know about the department and no problem they couldn’t fix.

@francesweetman I read someone’s theory that we developed extreme politeness *because* we were exceptionally murderous. It was a way of not killing *each other*

@avidseries (11) pregnant woman’s water breaks right at the beginning of labour and it’s a tiny damp spot on their clothes/ tiny puddle on the floor
(12) whole family + group of friends go to hospital to wait for birth.

Only sick & vile terrorists would attack a house of worship that also has a daycare full of children because they have issues with the faith or due to political conflicts at home or abroad, whether at a Muslim Center in San Diego or a Jewish Synagogue in Michigan. Stop the hate💔

@DarrenJohnson66 Makes demands based on a complete lack of understanding of the internal democracy of the party they’ve joined 🤦‍♀️. My daily dose of ‘I’m so glad I’ve left’

Today’s marches sees two opposing movements united in the same racist fantasies

Far-left 🤝 far-right

There seems to be very little discussion in politics about children in care and care leavers. Regardless of which party forms the next government, there is a serious crisis that needs far more attention.

We should not forget that a 15-year-old girl was reportedly raped in a children’s home in Durham a few months ago, yet there appears to have been very little public response or accountability.

@teaforpterosaur I didn’t snap the spaghetti once and it caught fire. The smell was not good.

To all these nepo baby teens and twentysomethings starting their own beauty line. Your own demographic is saturated. The way you can clean up is by developing a product that's guaranteed to remove peri/menopausal chin hair. You'll thank me when you reach my age.

@francesweetman Get the t-shirt!

@ZacGoldsmith @patrickway40631 Grok seems to have got the figures wrong.

[Danny Boy @Care2much18]

Almost 10,000 likes for straight-up lies by Annunziata Rees-Mogg, quote:

"Asylum seekers make up 0.08% of Dorset's population and 44% of alleged sex offences. So unbelievable I had to check. It's true."

It's not true, it's utter garbage.

I'll go through facts and figures. /1

@auralian420 @_Hels_ @helen_spirit1 @AntiqueGeekUK My daughter works in a club in Newcastle. She’s so sick of Mancunian students claiming to be Northern that she’s planning to get a t-shirt that says ‘Manchester is in the Midlands’.

The Civil Commission Report: Our response

TW: Sexual violence, torture, hate

For many of us, especially the Jewish women in our ranks, the months following October 7th have been a period of deep pain and isolation. We found ourselves at odds with a feminist movement that seemed more interested in political posturing than in condemning the systematic sexual torture of women.

This new report from the Civil Commission (link in comments) isn’t just a document of atrocities; it’s a demand for the truth. It details 13 recurring forms of sexual violence used that day – not as "accidents" of war, but as a deliberate, premeditated strategy. This was the literal weaponisation of rape; women’s bodies treated as battlefields.

We founded this group in the face of what we saw, but could barely believe: the selective solidarity of a self-described sisterhood. Not just silence, but outright denial by officials whose responsibility is Violence Against Women and Girls. We came together to be the voice we couldn't find elsewhere. Today’s report is a harrowing reminder of why our work matters. The atrocity is the violence itself; another injustice was demanding women relive it as proof, absorbing horrific evidence to meet an evidential bar imposed on no one else. Like Lee Miller, we implore you to believe that this is true.

One interviewee said that she had to survive, to tell people what happened here. She, like the rest of us, probably thought surviving would be enough, that people would just need to hear. We doubt she imagined others would still be trying to make people listen. This report being made public shouldn't have been necessary, nor should we need to push those who need to read it to do so. Those who most need to read it, probably will not. Denial teaches perpetrators everywhere than sexual violence is politically excusable. No feminist should be complicit in that.

We refuse to let "Believe All Women" have an expiration date or a border. We refuse to be silent. We refuse to let women carry this alone.
