@ccwild79 What is going on now is not about the victims.

If it was about victims we'd be having serious conversations about safeguarding ALL children, boys and girls, rich and poor. From care homes, private schools, activities clubs, in their own home.

These boys matter as much as girls.

@itstuff48 @JodieWoahdie I don't think it's just "sex tourists", when I was there it looked like most of them were business men. I think a lot of them travel there on business, so not so simple to crack down on.

I know Cambodia & the Philippines are doing a lot of work to crack down on sex tourism.

The upcoming ban on “conversion therapy” will criminalise ‘encouraging or assisting such practices to take place outside of England & Wales’.

So where’s the Govt ban on pursuing commercial surrogacy abroad by Britons, given it’s illegal domestically?

How inconsistent @DHSCgovuk

@linmeitalks Sadly, they also go to abuse young men too. My time in Thailand taught me to be wary of any men that travel there for a "lads holiday".

I also suspect they are not "lonely" but have long suffering wives at home too.

@SamaHoole I cannot stand the smell, taste or texture of eggs. But would eat them if I could because they are a nutritional powerhouse, cheap and quick to make.

Any suggestion how I could eat them that is not pancakes, cakes or custard would be greatly appreciated!

@ma1ybe My gran had this life and had a wonderful life with a good man. She was lucky.

But she wanted to be an interior designer, and would have been fabulous at it. Her home is very modern for a 97 year old.

She gave up her dreams. She should have been able to follow them.

@hornbag__ @DisneyPlus @netflix did that to me recently. Because I regularly stay at a poorly family member's and wouldn't let me log in because I'm not on my "home network". Did everything it said to do online to activate it.

As the #WorldCup starts a reminder that stats show when England lose a game, domestic violence incidents increase by 38% and by 26% when they win.

@RangersBear55 18 month suspended sentence for a violent attack on his girlfriend, but throwing a couple of rocks at a protest that hit no one gets you 2yrs in prison? UK judiciary makes absolutely no sense.

[Love the UK - Bring back common sense @UKwantsmore]

@RangersBear55 We will soon be reading about some poor woman who won’t survive his next attack - there will be public outrage and we will be silenced and yet again.

@Damirror91 CSI miami used it as a basis of a story line years ago. Waitress slipped it into a guys drink. Didn't mean to k¡ll him.

Never entered my mind it could be used as a date 🍇 method.

November 1971. Chiswick, West London.
Erin Pizzey is 32 years old. She is not a lawyer. Not a politician. Not a doctor.
She is a woman who talked Hounslow Council into lending her a cold, rundown building on Belmont Road — a former community hall — for almost nothing. Her original plan was modest. A warm room. A cup of tea. Somewhere for mothers with young children to simply get out of the house.
Then the door opened.
A woman stood in the entrance. She was covered, head to foot, in bruises. She was holding two small children. She was shaking.
She didn't want tea.
She needed somewhere to hide.
Erin let her in. She didn't turn her away. She didn't tell her to call the police.
Because Erin had already called the police. They told her the same thing they told every woman in Britain at the time: they could not enter a private home over a "domestic dispute." That was the law. The home was private. What happened inside it was a family matter.
When Erin contacted a female civil servant to report what she was seeing, the response was astonishing. The woman told her flatly: "There wasn't a problem of battered wives until you made one."
Erin put down the phone. Then she went back to her residents and made sure they were fed.
Within weeks, 40 mothers and children were sleeping in four tiny rooms. No funding. No staff. No legal authority.
She didn't stop.
By 1973, word had spread through quiet whisper networks — one woman telling another, "There is a place. Go to Chiswick. She won't turn you away." That same year, Erin hosted the first National Women's Aid Conference in the UK. Women from across Britain arrived, and they all recognized the same thing at once: what she had built needed to exist everywhere.
In 1974, the council set a maximum of 36 residents. At peak times, 150 women and children were living inside those walls — sleeping on floors, on chairs, in hallways. The building smelled of cooking, fear, and something else entirely: relief.
Erin was taken to court for overcrowding. She appealed all the way to the House of Lords.
She kept the doors open the entire time.
That same year, she wrote a book. Scream Quietly or the Neighbours Will Hear. It was the first published account of domestic violence in British history. It used real stories from real women inside the shelter. Overnight, a problem that had no official name was on front pages from London to New York.
The movement spread. Refuges opened across the UK. Then Australia. Then Canada. Then the United States. The pattern she created in four small rooms in West London — no blueprint, no permission, no funding — had been replicated in hundreds of shelters across the Western world.
MP Jack Ashley stood up in Parliament and said: "It was she who first identified the problem, who first recognised the seriousness of the situation and who first did something practical."
She was ranked 14th in a poll of the 100 women who shook the world. She was awarded the Italian Peace Prize. She received a CBE. The charity she founded — Chiswick Women's Aid, which became Refuge — grew into the largest domestic violence charity in the United Kingdom, with over 460 employees and an annual income of more than £33 million.
Erin Pizzey passed away on October 4, 2025, aged 86.
She never stopped.
It all began with one woman, one borrowed building, and an absolute refusal to say no.
Forty women and children showed up with nowhere to go.
She made room.

Share this if you believe one ordinary person, refusing to look away, can build a shelter that holds the whole world.

I'm a cardiologist. A 42-year-old mother of two came to my office complaining of jaw pain and crushing fatigue. She ran half-marathons. Her EKG was normal. Another doctor had sent her home with anxiety medication.
When I got her into the cath lab, I found severe microvascular disease — plaque choking the tiniest vessels of her heart, the ones standard angiograms routinely miss.
Her heart had been starving in silence while everyone told her she was stressed.
She is alive today. Too many women like her are not.
Heart disease kills more women than every cancer combined. And medicine is still diagnosing it through a male lens.
84% of cardiologists report having patients in the past year whose heart disease was misdiagnosed by another physician. Women with a STEMI heart attack have a 59% greater chance of being misdiagnosed compared to men. Women with an NSTEMI — 41% greater chance.
The reason is structural. For decades, we screened, tested, and treated women using a template built for men.
Men's heart attacks announce themselves — the crushing chest pain, the clutched fist, the Hollywood collapse. Women's hearts whisper. Crushing fatigue that feels like wearing a lead vest. Jaw pain written off as TMJ. Nausea blamed on a stomach bug. An ache between the shoulder blades blamed on a long week. Shortness of breath blamed on being out of shape.
For years, medicine called these "atypical" symptoms. They are not atypical. They are female-typical. Half of humanity is not a variant.
And the biology runs deeper than symptoms.
Women have smaller hearts and narrower coronary arteries. Plaque doesn't only clog the big highway vessels — it hides in the microvasculature, the tiny branches feeding the heart muscle itself. A woman can have a heart attack with a completely "clean" standard angiogram.
SCAD — spontaneous coronary artery dissection — occurs 90% of the time in women. Often young, fit women with zero traditional risk factors. It's the leading cause of heart attack in women under 50, accounting for roughly one quarter of all cases in that age group. Most doctors have never diagnosed one.
And some of the most dangerous cardiac risk factors are hidden in women's medical histories where no one thinks to look:
Preeclampsia or gestational hypertension doubles to quadruples lifetime heart disease and stroke risk. Pregnancy is the body's first cardiac stress test — and these complications are early warning sirens, not closed chapters.
Autoimmune disease — lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis — far more common in women, turbocharges inflammation and plaque formation at any age.
Cardiovascular disease in women aged 20-44 is projected to surge nearly 50% by 2050.
The youngest patients in my practice keep getting younger.
What every woman should ask her doctor — and what every doctor should be asking:
"Given my pregnancy history, autoimmune status, and family history — what is my full cardiovascular risk?" If they don't ask about preeclampsia or gestational diabetes, volunteer it.
"Should I have an Lp(a) test and a coronary calcium score?" Standard cholesterol panels miss too much. Lp(a) is genetic, one-time, and most women have never been tested.
"My tests came back normal but my symptoms haven't stopped — what's next?" Normal stress tests and angiograms can miss microvascular disease, spasm, and SCAD. Persistent symptoms warrant coronary CT angiography or cardiac MRI.
And if something feels wrong — say these exact words to your doctor: "I am concerned this could be my heart."
That single sentence changes the workup. Do not soften it. Do not apologize for it.
80% of heart disease is preventable. But the playbook has to be built for female biology.
Two decades ago, I wrote one of the first books warning that heart disease was the number one killer of women and that medicine was diagnosing it through a male lens. It was recognized by First Lady Laura Bush at the White House during the early years of the national conversation about women's heart health.
I'm haunted by how much of that book I could republish today unchanged.
The science has advanced. The awareness has grown. But the gap between what we know and what happens in the exam room is still costing women their lives.
Share this with every woman you love — and every doctor who treats them. READ MORE: https://t.co/4LRugiY8q2

@dabitch @millihill More than she realises.

@dabitch @millihill That's what I said when someone told me. It's major surgery, she lives alone and has another young child. I can't wrap my head around it.

@MrsCMFrancis I also love kettlebells. Great cardio and weights in one workout!

[💙❤️ReBee❤️💙 @ReBeeFabulous]

@MrsCMFrancis I have found using an app to track my macros really helped. I use nutracheck.

I found I was eating too much fat (I can't stand anything low fat). It helped me track how much I was burning in relation to intake. Weight is coming off slowly but w/o dieting.
