We're wearing #Red4Research today as we celebrate the #BowelCancer research community and everyone who takes part in research. Every development in bowel cancer diagnosis and treatment starts as a research idea.

I keep thinking how 3 little girls were killed & more were hurt & traumatised, & instead of talking about their precious lives, we are being forced to focus on violent entitled white men burning cars & towns, who don’t give a shit about women’s & girls’ safety.

this obsession with testosterone levels in female athletes is insane - nobody questions the fact that michael phelps has an obscenely long wingspan or double the lung capacity of a normal person because in men's sport it's accepted that people have different physical advantages
