Sod off if you're a heartless Tory. Happy to be a do-gooder. She/Her.

[Jess M @jmally123]

Exactly this.

[Sophy Ridge @SophyRidgeSky]

For me there’s only one contender for Person of the Year.
Gisele Pelicot.
The woman who has recalibrated how we think about rape by refusing to feel shame.
“It’s time we change the way we look at rape”, she said outside the court today.
And…more than anyone I can think of… she’s done that.
“Shame must change sides”, she said, and perhaps – perhaps – that is a little more true today than it’s ever been.
But there’s something else that I want to talk about. Something that’s much more difficult to confront than the inspiration and dignity of Gisele Pelicot.
51 men.
51 men who are not all men… but who are also quite a lot of men. 51 of them in fact.
And if you read about them… their backgrounds… their jobs… their families or lack of family… they’re all quite different.
A firefighter…a nurse… an unemployed alcoholic.
Some were abused as children. Some had comfortable upbringings with kids of their own.
Six had domestic violence convictions. 45 didn’t.
One was 27. Another was 74.
There’s no pattern here. Nothing we can point to. Other than the fact there is no profile of a rapist. Which is perhaps the most frightening thing of all.

I remember a time when one income could buy a house, support a family. When you knew your GP and ambulances arrived within minutes, we all had dentists, and we had clean beaches to visit. Now we have food banks and warm banks, a housing crisis and people living pay cheque to /1.

[Harriet Harman @HarrietHarman]

It’s not that standards have changed. Women always felt creeped out by predatory, lewd men. It’s just that now women feel able to challenge. Older, middle class women more able to challenge than freelance junior women. It’s our duty💪💪💪 https://t.co/g22OEsygtg

Utterly infuriatingly true

Will hang around here for a bit, but I have to say, Bluesky feels a lot like Twitter used to and that can only be a good thing. Check it out, people 😁

[Jess M @jmally123]

Genius. I’m saying 60 for me.

[The Brain Tumour Charity @BrainTumourOrg]

1/2 Every day 34 people in the UK hear the devastating words, 'You have a brain tumour' and more than 5,000 people lose their lives to the disease each year.

Oh how bloody wonderful

@soundstoryuk Gorgeous album

[Sarah Ironside 💙 @SarahIronside6]

Tonight I learned something I’ve always suspected. Most people will support a rapist over a woman.

[Laura Lexx - Touring NOW! @lauralexx]

People think Melania has a body double for public appearances… that’s so bananas. It would definitely be for the private stuff

It feels incredible. #TheCure are playing live in London while I am at home listening and they sound like they did when I was 15. We all grew 40 years older but tonight time stands still. They prove to be amongst the greatest British bands that ever existed. What artists.

[Jess M @jmally123]

Yes to all of this 🖤🖤

[Cureation @CureationX]

Songs of a Lost World is everything that I wished for in a new Cure Album.
Masterfully composed, dark, emotional and moving. A beautiful Album.

The Taliban have now BANNED women from hearing each other’s voices in public or private settings.

This is nothing short of vile, inhumane barbarity. It’s not just oppression—it’s a ruthless assault on Afghan women’s very existence.

This passage from Michelle Obama:

"I hope you'll forgive me if I'm a little frustrated that some of us are choosing to ignore Donald Trump's gross incompetence while asking Kamala to dazzle us at every turn. I hope that you'll forgive me if I'm a little angry that we are indifferent to his erratic behavior. His obvious mental decline. His history as a convicted felon. A known slumlord. A predator found liable for sexual abuse. All of this while we pick apart Kamala's answers from interviews that he doesn't even have the courage to do, y'all."
