I wrote something about why women seem reluctant to toot their own horns. And in the spirit of bucking that trend: it got published by @TheAtlantic. TOOT TOOT. https://t.co/HqmR8YGBKn
@merseyrail I guess this was a scheduled post but it's an odd one to post at the same time that everyone is stuck on your trains and can't get to where they need to.
Putin started this war. Putin committed war crimes. Putin is the dictator who murdered his opponents. The EU nations have contributed more to Ukraine. Zelensky polls over 50%. Ukraine wants to be part of the West, Putin hates the West. I don’t accept George Orwell’s doublethink.
@CristinaOhq@KindredSquared@csjthinktank And it's the same story for every service a parent might need – speech problems, SEN issues, etc. It's not like those who became parents from 2019 suddenly decided to be more "irresponsible" than all the parents who came before them.
@CristinaOhq@KindredSquared@csjthinktank The consequences of COVID are still being felt. Our 5-yr-old started suffering with chronic constipation leading to accidents at 3. We're still waiting to see a specialist 2+ yrs later. We have the educational + £ resources to have found alternatives; most don't have that.
@CristinaOhq@KindredSquared@csjthinktank The data around things like toilet training etc in reception-aged kids is scary but I think it's misleading to blame "parental irresponsibility" (which goes against all the data suggesting we're spending more time/resources on our kids than ever before)...
@AvaSantina I'm no Kemi fan, but yeah, she'll literally have had to walk around in inches-thick snow outside the conference centre, this choice of footwear makes complete sense.
Masterful interview. Says siblings should be able to give birth to children even if it causes cleft palates. Goes on to describe gay men as a drain on the NHS then pans out to reveal a teddy bear on his bed. ZERO notes.
@TomPMarshall @carbdiem You didn't just point it out though, you wrote a condescending reply. I'd say that's what she was reacting to (as would most people).
Americans are so mentally ill hahaha oh no not a glass of wine around kids. A bunch of guns in the house? Ye course no problem proper normal tha, just no crushed fucking grapes, too dangerous
