Please @Borislav_Slavov, @larianstudios - we’ve scoured the internet for these lyrics and you’re our only hope now

@Borislav_Slavov @BAFTAGames @larianstudios Congratulations! My friend and I are desperate to find the actual words to the main theme so we can sing along! We can’t find them on Google anywhere - can you help? We always let the full theme play before we load up our play through, we love it so much 🥁

For my latest @CharityDigiOrg article, I look at how Charity magazines are evolving in the digital age. Thanks to @ParkinsonsUK, @Girlguiding and @kidneycareuk for sharing insights with me! https://t.co/FqeJnMfrFg

We help all girls know they can do anything - on International Women's Day, we're here with a new look and feel that puts them at the heart of everything we do. We’re for girls, with girls, led by girls. We’re Girlguiding #IWD2023 💙

On International Women's Day, we unveil Georgina And The Dragon - a statue to inspire a new generation of girls to know they can do anything #AllGirlsCanDoAnything #IWD2023 🧵 1/5

The number of young women experiencing sexual harassment from other students at school has increased in 8 years, yet only 1/3 of students are taught about consent. Our Advocates wrote to @GillianKeegan demanding better RSE in schools: https://t.co/adVWMzeWtT @educationgovuk

More out gay and bi players on the England Women’s Team than in the entire Men’s League.

Again, women leading the way. 🌈

What an absolutely incredible tournament this has been - we feel so proud to be part of it. Representation in sport is so important, and @Lionesses have shown that girls can do anything 🙌💙⚽️ #WEURO2022

[Foleon @GetFoleon]

For today's #FoleonHighlight, we're celebrating the inspiring Rainbow Girl story in @Girlguiding's Summer 2022 magazine. 🌈🏳️‍⚧️

It's a powerful reminder that we should never stop building safe spaces where everyone can belong.

Always a feel-good boost when guiding magazine goes out!

It’s a lot of work to produce a digital mag completely in-house, but it’s a real testament to a talented team who really care about what @Girlguiding does for volunteers and young members 💙💖

@RRowanOlive J had that issue. I switched her food to an allergen free brand, and it cleared up pretty quickly.

🚨BREAKING

This is it. The Government's published its #RightsRemovalBill that:

Strips your rights away

Means authorities don't have to respect your rights

Makes it harder to challenge abuse of your rights

It's time to fight like your rights depend on it. #SaveYourRights

‘I made a podcast about death’ has proved to be a great conversation starter for networking, job interviews and dating over the years 😁

[Hospice UK @hospiceuk]

Did you know @DyingMatters has a podcast series?

Sixteen episodes discussing everything from the importance of music at the end of life to tackling racism in palliative care, with guests including @drkathrynmannix, actor Greg Wise & @doctor_oxford!

Our 2021 #GirlsAttitudes survey is out today, supported by players of @PostcodeLottery 🙂

We asked over 2,000 girls and young women aged 7 to 21 to share their experiences over the past year and their current concerns. Read our full report here ➡️ https://t.co/J6sLWSskEN

One of my fave things about @Girlguiding is that we don’t use internal media spokespeople - we support girls to speak for themselves and give them a platform. The Advocates always bring it 💙

[Opinion by Metro.co.uk @MetroOpinion]

'I now understand that the catcalling I experienced at 14 – and continued to experience throughout my teenhood – was not something to be flattered by, but was sexual harassment.'

THREAD: Where are we in UK with cases, where are we going and should we care?

TLDR: nowhere good, somewhere worse, absolutely yes.
