i dont want a rape alarm, an app or a new 888 surveillance piece of shit
i want to go out tonight and dance in my silver crop top and pink shorts and walk home in my gold shoes without constantly looking around me to see who's following
i want my friends to get home safe
Mum will often #WhatsApp to ask if I got home ok. Usually get irritated and respond something along lines “I’m not a child”. But today won’t get annoyed, won’t reply sarcastically .. but instead will write straight bk “yes. Love you”. #SarahEverard
Am I hearing right - the onus is on ME to make sure a man doesn’t attack me when I walk home at night. Not on a man to not attack me in the first place - so no headphones, tight clothes; or pay for a cab - and we’re normalising that?!
Today I officially turn 25 YEARS OLD (a quarter of a century in the books). Which means 9 YEARS AGO I was on Educating Yorkshire. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the love throughout the years.
Today the vet told me that since Covid, they’ve had to treat a number of cats with depression caused by irritation that their people are at home all day. Obviously it’s not really funny but… that’s the most Cat thing I’ve ever heard. Apparently dogs do not have the same problem.
We have to care about women in Afghanistan as a matter of urgency. That does not mean we stop caring for women being raped or abused here. There are no either/or situations in feminism. Women everywhere matter. It is dire globally. Women have a huge capacity for loving women.
