If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world

You can just tell when someones never had a job that made them mop

[Brian Eastwood @BrianEastwoodx]

If you have children. Dont let them go to sleep overs.

You have no idea the evil that awaits your kids in someone else’s home.

• The vast majority of child sexual abuse happens in a residence—84 percent of sexual victimizations for kids under twelve occur in a home (usually the victim’s or the perpetrator’s).

• Most perpetrators are people the child knows (often family, friends, or acquaintances), not strangers.

For thousands of years, babies slept with their mothers. When they cried, they were attended to. Then two men came along: Dr. Holt and John B. Watson. They said babies should be trained. That babies had to fit the assembly line schedules of their parents. "Newborns must cry to expand their lungs," they claimed. "Simply let them cry it out." And that's how the "cry it out" sleep training method was born. Watson treated babies like experiments. "Never hug or kiss your child," he wrote. "Shake hands with them in the morning." After all, mothers needed rest, to attend to their husbands and households. Watson had four children. Three attempted suicide. One succeeded. And we still follow it today. Because once you convince a mother to ignore her baby's cries, you've broken something primal.

This is why shows like #Adolescence are needed more than ever. We must ban men like this from having platforms and influencing young men. While rapists like Tate & MacGregor are backed by the most powerful men in the world, women will continue to die.

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

[Freddie @FreddieBailey96]

She claimed £718.98 for 'Heating’ while saying £172.48 per week for maternity pay is “excessive”…

[Rebecca Reid @RebeccaCNReid]

I shouldn’t need to clarify this but we have a solidly mediocre maternity offering in this country and a worsening birth crisis, so Kemi Badenoch is suggesting that we pay women less to do one of the hardest jobs imaginable can really only be appealing to people who hate women.

[Vittoria @vitt2tsnoc]

Woman drugged and raped by almost 100 men for a decade. Another woman strangled and her body blended into a puree. Yet you men still won't (and I mean WON'T) acknowledge the very real epidemic of male violence towards women. LOOK at what we live in fear of, for FUCK sake.

[Rebecca Reid @RebeccaCNReid]

I can’t stop thinking about the fact that women found the safest, most joyful place to revel in being together and dressing up and singing, and men hated it so much they wanted to murder them for it.

[Karen @Karen31_x]

Fucking insane what’s happening in Liverpool, where was the riots when Olivia Pratt-Korbel, Ellie Edwards and Ashley Dale were shot? Or when Ava White was stabbed? Just a bunch of racist scumbags looking for an excuse to cause trouble.

[Vaughn @VJNicholls]

Where was the riots when the little girl got shot in her own home last year ? Or was that okay because it was a white scouser . Absolutely embarrassing scenes today fucking idiots

[sianushka @sianushka]

I keep thinking how 3 little girls were killed & more were hurt & traumatised, & instead of talking about their precious lives, we are being forced to focus on violent entitled white men burning cars & towns, who don’t give a shit about women’s & girls’ safety.

[Adam Rowe @adamrowecomedy]

If there’s any fibre of your being, that thinks doing this to the community that is already in mourning of those children, is in any way helpful & a step towards “getting your country back” then you have well and truly lost your fucking mind.

[ilona burton @ilonacatherine]

Young Swifties are making friendship bracelets and raising money while grown men throw bricks and spew hatred.

[Antonia @flaminhaystacks]

Women & girls are openly being hunted and murdered by men

From Sarah Everard being stopped by a police officer

Tied up in their home & shot with a crossbow

Strangled with shoelaces

Stabbed during a Taylor Swift dance class

Make misogyny a hate crime

Treat it like terrorism

[Gina @ginamartinuk]

the news:
- 3 women murdered by an ex with a crossbow
- Tampons have arsenic & lead in them
- 80% of all Autoimmune diseases in women due to the role they play societally
- Men abusing women goes up 38% when England lose

the internet:
has feminism gone too far?

[𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐥 @homemakinghunny]

Funny how the term ‘dad bod’ has been completely normalized and accepted but ‘mom bod’ isn’t and YET the moms are the ones sacrificing their bodies to grow and birth and breastfeed those babies. But women are expected to bounce back and be thin but dad bods are accepted fully.

[Freddie @FreddieBailey96]

Taylor Swift has apparently donated enough money to cover the food bills for 11 food banks and 8 community kitchens in Liverpool for a year.

She has done more for Liverpool in 3 nights than the Tories have done over 14 years.

[Manda Sime @MandaSime]

🤮 #ToriesOut

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

This is so disgusting. Imagine the mindset that made this. People are dying. Afraid. Exploited and desperate. The Tories now chasing Reform to the very hard right and it’s sickening. Just when you think they couldn’t sink any lower …
