@Counteredlogos Can I message you about this?

[Victoria Freeman @v_j_freeman]

No, mate, I don’t think defending Russell Brand & obsessively posting a pic you’ve made of my face with a cock jutting into my mouth many times on your timeline makes you look at all rapey & insane.

Seems a great time to draw attention to Charlie Broker's excellent Russell Brand takedown in 2015

@An_actual_woman @HeatherTomli They are also totally irrelevant, because consent is based on an individual act, in the moment which it took place.

[𝙹. 𝙿𝚎𝚍𝚍𝚎𝚛 🇻🇦 @postlibfem]

@HeatherTomli That’s not actually giving consent though: I can say that I want to make chilli for tea (for example) and this can be agreed, but I can actually decide not to do that. From verbal reasoning expressing interest in doing one thing or another is not a pre-requisite for an action.

[Victoria Freeman @v_j_freeman]

What defenders of Brand can’t seem to get their heads round is he was unable to call a single witness to testify on his behalf. No-one to contradict the prosecution’s case other than himself & his wife. While former friends & employees were prepared to testify against him. It was this that damned him. It wasn’t ‘he said/she said’. People who knew him well spoke *against* him. None for him.

@Strobe_Lightly When the weather is decent, this is the most beautiful time of year to be there.

A few thoughts on Russell Brand, the men who defend him, and the women who were so very brave.

[𝙹. 𝙿𝚎𝚍𝚍𝚎𝚛 🇻🇦 @postlibfem]

@rk_wiggs Yeah it’s funny that cultural difference. I will likely be applying to both CoE and RC schools for my kids, but then both are quite establishment and authority orientated vis-a-vis evangelical baptism.

[Victoria Freeman @v_j_freeman]

Anyone who claims this isn’t rape has a screw loose & should be avoided. I firmly believe even Russell Brand knew this was rape.

@CptHastings1916 Indeed. ASFAIK Barron has been a strong supporter of Synodality, while I am far more cynical.

[Eva Kurilova @eva_kurilova]

Many, many people have embraced Christ and flipped from left to right. They are doing fine because they aren't rapists.

[Luke McGee @lukemcgee]

This is extremely hard to watch, but the judge is doing a tremendous job of laying it all out calmly and coldly. Really drives home how bad his crimes were.

[Sky News @SkyNews]

A California couple with 27 children, most born via surrogates, have been charged in what US authorities have described as a "house of horrors" abuse case.

Sky's @marthakelner examines the case in California - and what it means for the multibillion-dollar surrogacy industry.
