[Davina Rivers @DavinaRivers]

The language used surrounding grief is so important. Remarks can be made without thinking but can be so hurtful.
Here are some helpful grief Literacy hints.

So proud to be British - supporting those peacefully protesting, calling for immediate ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war. So ashamed to be British- watching the far-right protestors.
So proud to be British-honouring our war heroes on #ArmisticeDay2023 #CeasefireInGazaNOW #peace

@PaulRBelgium What an incredibly sad and humbling message to read however in this world where love and kindness often feel at the bottom of everyone’s ‘to do list’, your courage and compassion are the very brightest of stars. Thank you @PaulRBelgium for your bravery and selflessness💜

Good morning,

I have committed to keep my friends informed of my updates concerning my battle with cancer.

Regrettably, my doctor recently informed me that my treatment has been discontinued, as there are no further viable options available.

I humbly request a significant favour from all of my friends—before I die, I aspire to establish a network of one million companions. This can only be achieved with your kind help.

I am a 65-year-old male who is currently battling male Prostate Cancer and Atypical Carcinoid Lung Cancer. Unfortunately, I received devastating news yesterday that these cancers have spread to various parts of my body, including my lungs, liver, spine, and shoulders. Given this dire situation, the esteemed experts at Christie's have advised me to prepare for the inevitable.

Next week I will be interviewing some cancer support workers, who will help me shine the light on both the good and bad. I hope you can follow me and get the message I am looking to reach 1,000,000 so I know I done something positively. All followers will be followed back.

Perfectly put @minoritisedNHS - being an ally is about listening to learn not listening to respond. As you’ve said, it’s about staying in the conversation even when things get really uncomfortable. Being an ally is a journey not a destination. #equity #solidarity #inclusion

Travelling to London for what I know will be an energising and inspiring day with @DrSamCollins Today we’re focusing on Leadership Presence and Impact and talking about presence and impact I forgot that our friendly ‘Ozzy’ has his new home @NetworkRailBHM

[Emma-Jane Taylor (E-J) 🇬🇧 @ejtayloruk]

At 9 years old I was sexually assaulted by the restaurant owner who had befriended my family on holiday.
At 12 years old my 'beautiful handsome hero; Dad', told he couldn't see me again, and he didn't.
At 13 years old the family 'friend' groomed and raped me for the next 3 years.
Today I campaign around the world, because I know this is #NotMyShame, I was just a child....the shame was every bit owned by the adults who made decisions to physically, emotionally, mentally violate me. My childhood was ripped apart, but my adult voice is very much alive and kicking.
Keep believing those disclosing, it's not rocket science. Nothing more to add.

Celebrating the remarkable Mary Seacole ! Her unwavering dedication to healthcare during the Crimean War, fearless spirit, and contributions to British history continue to inspire generations. 🏥❤️ Let's honor her legacy of compassion and resilience! #SalutingOurSisters #BlackHistoryMonth #BHM2023 #MarySeacole #WeMatter

[Black History Month 2026 @bhmuk]

Let's highlight the remarkable contributions of Black women during #BlackHistoryMonth 2023 . From pioneering scientists and dedicated activists to talented artists and influential leaders, their impact is truly immeasurable.
The theme #SalutingOurSisters pays homage to black women who had contributions ignored, ideas appropriated, and voices silenced. #WEMATTER

[carolyn chapman-lees 🇺🇦 @cchapmanlees]

An incredible tribute on @bbcstrictly this evening to the irrefutable Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll, Tina Turner. Fabulous performances from @FleurEast @lauramvula and the amazing @Beverleyknight . Also loved @JorjaSmith 💜

I saw this tweet and it made me feel quite uneasy. @rogertilling I understand the intent however did you consider the potential impact of your comment? In more direct terms, anything before the word ‘but’ doesn’t count. Just the first sentence would have been fine #consideration

[Roger Tilling @rogertilling]

This is a wonderful, beautiful Thai surname. But just bear with me while I go off and have a quick cry…

Iranian singer Parastoo Ahmadi's home raided by regime agents, her laptop and phone confiscated. Her powerful protest songs had gone viral. The world’s most anti-woman regime fears women above all, but it will crumble under the force of #WomenLifeFreedom.
