A defining moment of this trial: #GisèlePelicot, in her final time on the stand, addressed her decision to keep the surname "Pelicot": "When the trial began, my children were 'ashamed' of the name. I have grandchildren called that. I want them proud. My name is known worldwide now. They shouldn't be ashamed. Today we will remember Gisèle Pelicot." Never forget what this woman has achieved. #ShameMustChangeSides

Spiking is already covered by more than one law (the Offences Against The Person Act and the Sexual Offences Act). Women don't need a new law. We need the ones we already have to be actually enforced!

A bunch of right wing dweebs are trying to say this conductor is “inappropriate and distracting” As a former orchestral musician, for once I actually know what I’m talking about on here so let me take this opportunity to be the insufferable expert (xpert?) in the room: 1/7

…How long do you have? (a thread)

We need to talk about men pretending to be nice in order to trap or trick women If we trust them, we are told we should have picked better and deserve what happened to us If we are cautious, we are told we are misandrists and man haters

The DWP released statistics showing that fraud in the disability benefits system is a 'non-issue', so why the plans to spy on Disabled people’s bank accounts? Because the wealthy tax avoiders have political influence, while we do not. opendemocracy.net/en/plans-to-sp…

I am nonbinary and take hormone blockers and HRT (estrogen, progesterone and testosterone) for reasons unrelated to my gender. I recently received this letter from my GP.

15 y/o Holly Newton who was stalked and murdered by her teenage ex-boyfriend was considered too young to be classed as a victim of domestic abuse, instead her death is filed as a knife crime… Holly’s mum: "He didn't like her having other friends, he didn't like her going out without him, he needed to know where she was at all times.” "It was all just control, everything was controlling and when he couldn't control her there was a problem.” Holly’s family believe her death should be recognised as a victim of domestic abuse in order to learn valuable lessons and save young people from abusive relationships in the future. ➡️ bbc.com/news/articles/…

@owenbroadcast Like this? en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_stag… we studied this at uni in relation to life long learning.

if you drive, and you know how to drive, you don't think about all the little things you do. they're just automatic - innately known with no effort. to me, that is different than the subconscious. its like "super-knowing". one guy i know said its the highest degree of knowing.

recently a big topic of conversation on here has been why taking ayahuasca seems to result in these large changes for people. the stereotype of someone taking one of these drugs and then radically shifting their life path is accurate. but why? heres an attempt to explain it ...

@masonmennenga @bdk1521 Would he not also have been considered every single one of these by the government of the time?

just wait until this guy finds out there are christians who are illegal migrants, minorities, poor, and criminals

Nobody should be given a job they can't do well - but not hiring someone because of their diversity hurdles (whether that be socioeconomic, disability, gender etc) which don't actually stop them doing a great job, should be considered - that includes poor-as-hell white kids.

@luceinthetardis @dykesuperrnova @coach_Julie_193 Have you considered that maybe, leading by example on changing harmful norms is good?

@GyllKing @BrigidBenson1 Right? Like was there a point buried in there? And the use of 'hysteria' in a sentence admonishing you for supposedly using language that is 'used against women'🤨🤨😒 . The complete vacuum of insight/awareness would be laughable if it wasn't so scary to watch in action sonetimes

@BrigidBenson1 Can't work out where your Tweet is coming from.

The MP who broke lockdown to meet someone else's husband, who is MP for Canterbury but lives in Wales, & who didn't attend election hustings says "I cannot put into words how angry I & my colleagues are at your total lack of understanding about how you have made us all appear."

I’d like to address a few things 🧵 In the last few days, some voices have, stubbornly, & with no historical basis, denied the existence of the Roma in Britain in the 19th century, despite a wealth of historical evidence documenting continued presence since the 16th cent (1/)

Somewhere you dreamt

Last year nearly 200 environmental defenders were killed — certainly an undercount. The leading culprit? The mining industry. The most dangerous region? Latin America. These are the stark realities we need to confront as we face a new mining boom linked to the energy transition
