@thecockburn @deadlinenews Why? 💔

@shelterscotland @Edinburgh_CC @EndPovertyEdin Thank you, it has already been through a rent review as my landlord’s original proposal was a 28,8% increase.

[Moira Cakes @moiracakes]

I have been ghosted by @Edinburgh_CC since my landlord raised my rent 11,5% in July and am still waiting for a decision re housing benefit. Still no decision or a reply to any of my emails. Am really struggling to cope, any advice @EndPovertyEdin @shelterscotland ?

A surrogate mother in Colombia saying goodbye to her daughter, before she is taken to Australia.

Dress it up how you like: surrogacy is child trafficking.

@NoContextBrits So it can see you better.

We are extremely saddened to report that today our volunteer driver received a parking ticket from @GlasgowCC for parking our fridge van outside our unit while unloading food for our most vulnerable in our city, when will this targeted acts stop ? We have permission from @GlasgowCC to park here to get our essential food in and out. Shame on @GlasgowCC @LeaderGCC your system does not work for the cost of living crisis !!!

Despite what you may occasionally see in the media, very few animal viruses cause ill health in humans & bats don’t appear to host any more zoonotic viruses than any other groups of animals. Evidence-based news piece here: https://t.co/foGjIFPXnE Help fight misinformation and RT

This is an important question. Why are we allowing hundreds of sex offenders to change their identities?

Why on earth shouldn’t that question be asked? Why is it that issues that predominantly put women and children at risk seem to be out of bounds for discussion?

My ex partner smashed my flat up & threatened to burn it down with me in it...the police did nothing, yet women are being arrested for 'offensive tweets' & visited by officers for having a sticker on their door.

Man makes violent threats - fine.

Woman has opinions - arrest her.

A thread about my evening.

Teatime. I was doing a roast chicken. Knock at the door. Two coppers. There’s been an allegation of harassment and malicious comms and we’ve come to arrest you.

The unspeakable bravery of these Iranian women. Murdered because they refused to be constrained and controlled by men. #MahsaAmini

A terrorist suicide bomber blew himself up in the middle of this crowded classroom in an educational centre in west Kabul today, filled with eager girls ready to take their practice exams — killing and injuring at least 50 people.
What is their crime?

[Prof Janina Ramirez @DrJaninaRamirez]

My brother just sent me this and it’s too good not to share. #MiniBudget

[WomenAreSayingNO @mjeslfc]

Shops would rather have raped and scared girls than upset the man.

Police would rather record rape as a woman's crime than upset the man.

Journalists would rather call a pedo 'she' than upset the man.

Some women would rather say yes than upset the man.

Blessed be the fruit!

[Sonia Poulton @SoniaPoulton]

I've seen the longterm damage child sexual abuse does to a person & I believe that anyone convicted of it loses the right to change their gender or any identifying characteristic. We need to know who they are & where they are. Too many predators are 'lost' behind new identities.

[Lydia Lambfruit @Kings_of_Lydia]

When you call a man who has raped someone "she" it is not a neutral act: you are adding insult to one of the worst injuries a person can endure. I'm begging you: stop it.
