The internet shutdown in Afghanistan happened in real time in my online poetry class on Monday. The women's accounts dropped out one by one. The last to go was Neda. Just before her image froze, I promised to put her poem on Twitter. She's 11. Online was her last hope of education. @WRNAfghanistan

@RachaelNewham90 Praying for you as you go, friend xx

@RachaelNewham90 @nuwandiss It’s a rage bait article that’s been removed now, probably because they were caught using stock images for their (probably fake) family https://t.co/zggzIftjhG

But yes, poverty is very real. Agreed! X

I did something unusual this evening: playing an interview filmed last night that now seems completely out of date.
Which is basically breaking all the rules of television and journalism.
But there's a reason 👇

James Hunt is the father of two non-verbal autistic children.

@FT and @educationgovuk you should speak to people like him to understand the condition better. The notion that autism is a "lighter" disability (whatever that means!) is laughable.

@RachaelNewham90 Thank you for the reminder of hope! It’s been a long few days 😂

Lots of people anxious about the US election. Christians do not need to be. Presidents, empires, all come and go. God is still on His throne. All is well. And it ends well. Revelation 21:4 ‘there will no longer be…any mourning crying or pain.. the old order has passed away’

@professor_dave So true. And it gives no thought to what it is costing those who ‘can’ manage their behaviour to do so. The emotional and mental impact of spending a day masking at school can be immense - what if they didn’t have to?

@Rob_Percival_ LOVE THIS!!!

I’m not a Tweeter. I’m a scroller. But I really want to share what I’ve done since winning #RaceAcrossTheWorld. It’s something I’m really proud of.

@megs_cornwell I hope you’re ok. Thank you for all you’ve done in bringing light to the soul survivor situation in such a sensitive and wise way. Many of us are grateful for you.
