@DrNeilStone Please keep posting. I've currentlygot shingles despite having had the vaccine and chickenpox but it is so much milder than it often can be and probably would have been without the vaccine,

@fesshole Covid regs prevented me from being there. The look on my RGD's face as the vets' assistant carried him from the boot haunts me still. As I sobbed by the car a total stranger came to hug me as the same thing was happening to her dog.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Where was the suit?

@mtgreenee @brianglenntv What does he say about Elon's dress in the Cabinet?

[U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen @RepPettersen]

I’m horrified by the way President Zelensky was treated by Trump and Vance in their Oval Office meeting today. Once again, Ukraine is a democratic ally that was invaded by Russia.

It is stunning that the US is now siding with dictators and not standing up for freedom, democracy, and global stability. I’m deeply concerned for the people in Ukraine and our country’s long-term national security.

[Protect Kamala Harris ✊ @DisavowTrump20]

RETWEET if you stand with President Zelenskyy against Trump and Vance!

[Neil Stone @DrNeilStone]

I support Volodymyr Zelenskyy

That’s all I want to say now

I keep thinking about the Unison ‘trans women are women’ successful vote yesterday.
From the ages of 16-20 I was a part-time checkout operator at Tesco.
If I had to change into my uniform I had to strip down to my underwear in a changing room like this one, only much smaller.
Occasionally, two or three of us would be squeezed in there, but it was fine. We’d nod, smile, chat if we knew each other. We had little to fear unless someone accidentally opened the door while one of us was undressed and a bloke from the shop floor might catch a glimpse. If a bloke DID try to come in, security cameras outside would hopefully see it and he’d be hauled out and hopefully sacked. In four years I was never aware of anything like this happening.
This week, the UK’s biggest union - who represents some of our lowest paid female workers - voted to allow men into that room if they uttered the words: ‘I identify as a woman’. No surgery required. No hormones. No lipstick. (NOT that that would make any difference). Trevor from the meat aisle could walk in one day and declare that he is now Tracey and he’d be allowed into the female changing room.
I think of my 16yo self, trying to earn some money (£2.07 an hour at the time) so I could save a bit of cash.
I think how scared she would have been if a man had walked in unchallenged while I was down to my underwear. How I would have frozen in fear, tried to cover myself up. I would never have been as brave as nurse Sandie Peggie, who is in the midst of a hellish employment tribunal over this very issue.
And even if I’d quietly expressed concern, I would have been called ‘bigot’ by my HR manager. My Union would do the same.
The reason I speak up so much on this is that I now have two daughters and four young nieces who might one day find themselves in this exact situation.
Do you stand with them and all the women and girls in your life? Or do you stand with these men? And the people, the unions, the organisations who are doing everything they can to help them access these spaces?

[Bill Moon @BigBillMoon]

Whatever the outcome, Sandie Peggie has already won.

This madhead doctor has completely shown himself up, and he’s hardly been questioned at all yet.

Sandie is a winner.

[Jing Jang Jane. Nationalism is not Patrotism @LAMBDENA]

The thing I wonder about is why the Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy didn’t just provide a separate place for trans people, it would have cost less than this tribunal will. They’ve taken a stance against women and Sandie Peggie is being used as a scapegoat. I stand with Sandie.

[Wings Over Scotland @WingsScotland]

When you're a man, but your employer lets you hang around in the women's changing rooms.

[Jean Hatchet @JeanHatchet]

Without reserve … a big “fuck you” to @JeremyVineOn5 right now.

Upton is a man. Sandie Peggie is a legend. Naomi C will make you understand this by teatime. Pull up a chair.

@NoContextBrits 2 FAT. Obviously a very thin driver.

@RaghavsRep Personally if I’d known how, I’d have done it after my first…
