If you don’t read or retweet anything else from Twitter today or this week or this year, please read ALL the tweets from @CountDeadWomen and realise the scale of violence against women. Time to #EndViolenceAgainstWomen

@JeanHatchet @dianjo @joannaccherry Oh no. That is bad news.

[Meghan Murphy @MeghanEMurphy]

Imagine accusing a woman who used her massive platform to fight for women, despite being put through the ringer on a massive scale for doing so, of abandoning the 'sisterhood' because she doesn't want to vote for a party that pretended not to know what a woman was. Rowling could easily have coasted on her fame and fortune and instead stuck her neck out, which so few others in her position have done, but she's some kind of privileged sellout to women because she... won't vote for the party that sold out women? https://t.co/XxVUPTDj0G

@Rob_ThaBuilder Please make distinction between transgender and transsexual. Buck Angel calls transgender like me- fake clowns because I don't deny bio sex. Transsexuals necessarily deny bio sex- need & use transition to justify further pathology along w/futile attempts to deny who they are.

I appreciate this was posted 2 days ago but reading #firedoesntdiscriminate on the 7th anniversary of the Grenfell fire in London shows exactly how insulting that hashtag is.
Fire absolutely discriminated that morning. People who were on low incomes and immigrants were overwhelmingly the victims.
People on low incomes who live in high rise blocks and in houses with multiple occupancy are still at greater risk.
Pointless and insensitive hashtag.

@JeanHatchet Did you read David Copperfield, on which it’s based?

Why has the Chief Finance Officer of @BrightonHoveCC okayed a 'saving' in the 2024-25 budget of £120k for domestic abuse services, when this is mostly funded by ringfenced money from @luhc for Domestic Abuse Act duties ('new burdens')?

A brave teacher pays the price of empathy...

Read Anne Frank 3 May 1944. She'd have agreed with these human rights organisations, passionately...

@rebelyarns @BrightonHoveCC Shocking attacks on people with disabilities. Is there anything that non-Brightonians can do?

[Debbie Epstein @EpsteinDeb]

@JoPhoenix1 Many congratulations Jo.

Friends of all faiths (Jewish, Muslim, Christian) or none have been marching in London for #CeasefireNOW & peace w justice for all. One spotted this white kite with murdered teacher-poet Refaat Alareer's prophetic poem. His students call him "transformational". He'll live in them

@Jebadoo2 Don’t forget, that much as Kemi Badenoch is good on this issue, she is a right wing Tory with all the horrors that go with that.

This might be an unpopular opinion, but in the majority of cases, fertility treatment doesn’t work. Spend your money on something else, or don’t build up debt to fund fertility treatment

Some light in dark days: 'Music is our lives'...'Music speaks to the soul'... My characters in CHILDREN OF THE STONE CITY know this too...
