Halloween can be difficult for people with visible differences when they see their scars, marks and conditions being used as a shorthand for scary.

This year, we've partnered with @FaceEqualityInt and @LeithAgency to ask people to be mindful with their #Halloween makeup looks.

Today The Climate Book is finally released in many parts of the world!

I want to use my platform to share the reality of the climate crisis – to communicate a holistic picture of how the world is changing and what we need to do about it. That is why I created this book.

Another night in the macro-studio on #Autumnwatch, and a marvellously Mothy one 😍 my gorgeous Feathered Thorn put on an antennal show shortly after we were live. Look at those feathery beauties!! Thanks for all your kind comments about my nerdy natterings 🥰 @BBCSpringwatch

I’m just going to say this as a woman and it’s nothing personal against Eddie Izzard. I actually find the idea of “swapping between boy and girl mode” offensive. It suggests we are nothing more than high heels and lipstick. It’s really insensitive.

I love the magical world David M Bird creates with figures made of acorns and twigs.

If you have the ability to get the word “mother” removed from government policies, you’re not oppressed or marginalized. Not even close.

You’re terrifyingly powerful and intensely misogynistic.

Amnesty protesting a feminist conference

Inside we are talking about violence against women, domestic abuse, victims rights, mother's rights, children's rights

Outside men with amnesty banners saying "I am who I say I am"

@Keir_Starmer Nope. You and your party have shown utter contempt for women.

To everyone that panicked and went to fuel their cars when it wasn’t needed, well done👍🏻 on shift on an emergency ambulance, low on fuel and struggling to find somewhere that isn’t sold out😡

[Malala Yousafzai @Malala]

We watch in complete shock as Taliban takes control of Afghanistan. I am deeply worried about women, minorities and human rights advocates. Global, regional and local powers must call for an immediate ceasefire, provide urgent humanitarian aid and protect refugees and civilians.
