@BMHayward @UCNZ @VeerOffTrack What a team!!🙌🏻

Harvey Weinstein’s trial has begun. Grateful for the brave woman who spoke up against him, as well as every woman inspired to tell their story in the #metoo era.

[TIME'S UP @TIMESUPNOW]

At least 100 #silencebreakers who bravely came forward to report Harvey Weinstein’s sexual misconduct risked everything to see him brought to justice. Today as his criminal trial begins, we’re in awe of their bravery & full of gratitude.

Now we're even polluting our friends across the ditch. #ClimateCrisis #AustraliaBurns. Time to move beyond coal and gas @ScottMorrisonMP

Ever notice...when girls or women are culture-shaping their influence is dubbed an "effect," ie "Greta Effect," "Oprah Effect," "Pao Effect," "Beyonce Effect," "Malala Effect." Call it what it is: power. Everything will be fine, chances are, given the facts, they'll be better.

Loved the chalking this week in Wellington from the SS4C group!

I recently hit tram lines and flew over the handle bars of my bike. I didn’t touch it again for a month. We need safe infrastructure. Thnx @EmmaMcInnes for putting these powerful words out there!

So today I had a request from the little girl whose mum was knocked off her road bike & killed 10 days ago ‘Mr Clarke can you tweet the pictures of me putting #BeAwareForClare posters up because you have got lots of retweets and raised awareness’ 💔 Twitter work your magic #RT

[Emma McCone @EmMcCone]

I sat in your talk on casual racism a year or two ago and it is something I have never forgottten. I am confident you will speak well and impact many @VeerOffTrack

[Ekant Veer @VeerOffTrack]

Some months ago I was asked to give a talk on the role of toxic masculinity in a 'post #MeToo society' - I'm due to give that talk next week - I always knew the talk would be difficult, but in the aftermath of the #ChristchurchTerrorAttack I am both concerned and emboldened

These young people are awesome #SchoolStrike4Climate #ss4cnz #StrikeForClimate

Young people are not passive receptors of our society, they are active citizens who are entitled to their voice👏🏻👏🏻

Women in Urbanism's take on the Lime E-Scooter debate (a thread because it's easier than blogging):

1. Firstly, we'd like to say, we wish @phil_goff would get as fired up and interested over cars killing and injuring people as he does with people going for a hoon on scooters.

[Emma McCone @EmMcCone]

Great time for Christchurch music. Proud to see @MarlonWMusic take away the Silver Scroll last night
