My dream summer bucket list

I spoke to Suzanne Moore about feminism, filters and a new support centre for female survivors of sexual violence in Edinburgh and the Lothians. suzannemoore.substack.com/p/an-exclusive…

Johnson's purge of reality-recognisers (aka Remainers) in 2019 was so significant. It created a party where dissent led inexorably to dismissal. Even if the threat isn't the same today, the legacy lingers. Hence *no* Tory MPs publicly breaking ranks with this madness in public.

You think what you see in America couldn’t happen here? Then you don’t understand who is organising in UK politics. No one thought American Supreme Court would ever overturn a right previously granted either.. These attacks on womens rights won’t stop. Be prepared. #RoeVsWade

In the United States, about 40,000 people were lobotomized, with the procedure reaching its peak of popularity in 1949. Crazy how there can fads for radical surgical procedures that we later view as unneeded and harmful.

For clarity, we can revoke citizenship from groomed teenage girls, we can't from Russian billionaires. And that's democracy.

Feminism: Society imposes limitations on you because of your body, change society! Transactivism: Society imposes limitations on you because of your body, change your body!

Since we're once again comparing #prostitution to retail jobs, it doesn't hurt to have a list of disproportionate physical risks of being in the sex trade. This is not to shame women in it or to suggest women's bodies are "broken", but to highlight why these comparisons lag.

I found this engagement ring at Vauxhall station at about 22:30 last night. Would love to get it back to its owner and station staff were pretty unhelpful in my quest. RT🙏🏼. @TfL @BTPLondon @TimeOutLondon @EveningStandard

Why can’t people join the dots? Women are not mentally ill after pregnancy and birth, they are traumatised, scared, frustrated and tired for so many different reasons that we refuse to validate or listen to, and instead we tell them that it’s an illness.

What an amazing sleight of hand by the patriarchy, to convince women that the term ‘female’ is dehumanising, creepy, outdated and offensive that should be rejected and avoided.

This is, perhaps, the best summation of the “men’s rights movement” I've ever read.

Touching tribute tonight to #SarahEverard on Twickenham Green. This seat is dedicated to Amélie Delagrange, murdered here in 2004, aged 22. #ReclaimTheseStreets #ReclaimTheNight

Sarah was walking from Clapham to Brixton on Wednesday evening and hasn't been seen since. Any RTs much appreciated please.

URGENT: this young woman, a friend of a friend of mine, went missing in south London 2 days ago. Finding her is of course a matter of emergency. Please read the attached notices &, more important still, retweet this tweet so as to maximise the number of people who can help. 🙏

This is abhorrant. I knew Shamima, I was a teacher in her school. She was a child who was effectively groomed. She is a British citizen and it is shocking that citizenship can be so easily stripped away. She deserves our pity and our help, not our scorn.
