@naomicfisher The moment I saw this Guardian article, I wondered what you would say,

@heyyitsraine Blue

@ThwaitesJill @StarraEducation I was also going to say Charlie

@Stopworkplacebu I wish I knew. Been trying to report one who has now forced out 4 excellent employees. Can’t get anyone senior enough to listen or believe because the bully has cognitive empathy and masks their behaviour really well.

@devisridhar I’m sufficiently well versed in genetics to know I have an ongoing stake in society despite having no children of my own. And, now I know just how many autoimmune risk factors I have, I’m rather glad I didn’t pass them on …

@PompeySteph In a kinder world we’d feel able to write more about how it feels. How complex and how it’s different for each of us. I’m cis and happy in my body but I definitely know that feeling of, daily, having to squeeze myself into a traditionally-made box that didn’t fit me.

@SGriffin_Lab I’ve been in that position too many times. It’s miserable. But that cup cake looks good … chocolate orange…?

@karenmitchell__ Thank you for listing these points. They concisely describe my childhood.

[Alison M Dunning @alison_amd24]

@karenmitchell__ Thank you - this is really comprehensive list and I’m going to use it to help tackle bullying in my own workplace.

[Alison M Dunning @alison_amd24]

@Kit_Yates_Maths I’m in deep trouble - not only a Professor but also a childless cat-lady.

[Alison M Dunning @alison_amd24]

@SophyRidgeSky To me it feels special that our Chancellor and high-profile journalists, like you, are stylish women. Men-in-grey-suits are so last century.

[Alison M Dunning @alison_amd24]

@vickyfoxcroft @stephenctimms Thank you for speaking for us so eloquently @vickyfoxcroft. It felt good to have someone with lived experience representing us.

[Alison M Dunning @alison_amd24]

@NaomiJWesterman @guardian This really resonated this morning as I read it. I’m not sure we talk enough about how narcissists manipulate Wills. Thank you for feeling brave enough to tell your story.

[Alison M Dunning @alison_amd24]

@issy4nwessex I’m glad to hear you saying this

[Alison M Dunning @alison_amd24]

@cv_cev @GwynneMP Delighted to see this news.

@uclh @LongCovidSOS This feels like a step forward, but hospital remains a dangerous environment for those of us who know we are at high risk of severe infections or long-covid. We deserve better protections than at present. Stronger mitigations would also benefit hospital staff.
