The husband of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, Richard, says it is a "huge relief" that his wife is on a plane to the UK after years in Iranian detention.
He adds "we can start being a normal family today".

I went to the @MAACambridge today with a disabled student. The education team were absolutely incredible - thank you so much to Rob who showed us around. My student enjoyed the visit so much, especially the "tiger" (jaguar) tooth necklace! You absolutely made our day. #Museums
I am still struck by the fact, which I learned only a week or so ago, that half the carbon emissions of the Industrial Age have been pumped into the atmosphere since 1990, when I was a junior in college.
@PlantBasedNews Saving the water from a tin of chickpeas just in case you get time to bake (but in reality, it goes funky before you have time, so you throw it away anyway) ๐คฃ
I am pleased to announce that Iโve decided to go net-zero on swear words and bad language. In the event that I should say something inappropriate I pledge to compensate that by saying something nice. #COP26
@LBrace1 I'm 23. I know of Ab Fab, have probably seen a few episodes and know that Joanna Lumley is Patsy and Jennifer Saunders was in it. A movie of it came out in 2016 which I think I saw in the cinema but wasn't very good.
@ItsEmilyKaty I was the star that guides the wise men to Jesus. Now, I am a youth worker, hopefully helping young people to find their passions and develop new skills.
@BlindDad_Uk I'm sure I remember seeing braille on an overhead sign at my university. I have no idea how a blind person would know it was there, let alone how they would get the ladder in to read it. ๐
@WeCanShootToo@ellie__miles@amyfullermorgan because they cannot fully know what we'll use the photo for. They are trusting us to use their child's photo responsibly and to represent their child in a positive way.
It's difficult. (Added to that: why should a parent's consent override a child's consent/lack of).
@WeCanShootToo@ellie__miles@amyfullermorgan These are all very valid arguments and I certainly don't have any of the answers.
From a youth work perspective, if one person doesn't consent, you delete the photo. Their carer signs a consent form to allow us to keep the photo for 3 years. Even this is problematic (cont.)
@WeCanShootToo@ellie__miles@amyfullermorgan But why? I think it should be possible to take the photo and ask consent afterwards (I know this seems a warped way to get consent, but in this case, you want a natural photo).
From a safeguarding perspective, publishing images of children and a woman without consent is a no no.
@MissGizzie Because ultimately, the impact on my life, health, and income (I've had to take days off work) is not as significant as the impact on us all if we *don't* get the vaccine.
But more research must be done to help people having more difficult periods.
@MissGizzie Recently, my period lasted 8 weeks; I've been bloated (which is totally new for me), and this month threw up due to period pain.
I believe it might be caused by the vaccine. I certainly believe more research needs to be done into it. I am still likely to accept a booster jab.
@resophonick I hope they have 6 friends/neighbors/relatives who's cars are stuck without enough fuel to get the to petrol station.
I cannot imagine another reasonable excuse... Lawns can wait to be mown.
@Manbeartom @vegannutrition1 I agree. Perhaps not easy to understand if you're abled.
For eg. eating a plum isn't going to stop a diabetic needing insulin; eating pears won't stop someone needing a wheelchair. To suggest medicines aren't needed says disabled people are disabled only bc of their poor diet.
@saj_anderson I hope you won't mind the tag, but I thought Dr Patel (@BlindDad_Uk) might have something to say about this or some advice to give. His account is so brilliant and I learn so much from him and Kika.
@NeilDouganMedia @RosemaryFrazer It's personal preference which is preferred, but most people seem to prefer disability-first language. This cartoon has been floating around a lot recently (and applied to any disability) and I think is really helpful:
@TansyP@NimaiDelgado Could you share the recipe? I've made a few vegan Mac n cheeses that have been awful, including one that made a very bland sauce by blending carrots and potatoes. ๐ฑ
@museumgirlldn I avoid vegan cheese where possible, I'm so envious you like it! ๐
Yes, I totally agree with you - ultimately, one person will make very little difference, we need systematic change. I recommend XR's little book (can't remember it's name now!)
