'Speak English, Cathleen' is set in my Grandmother's house in Ireland. This is a story about emigration, exile and identity. A sequence of unfolding images is underscored with a layered, multi-voice narrative and an evocative electronic soundtrack. marionurch.wordpress.com/2025/08/15/spe…

@JayDarkmoore The big question is who thought a show that enforces intimacy between strangers would be a good idea?

I have seen a lot of posts and videos in relation to the new MAFS BBC Panorama documentary, essentially asking why, if women were being mistreated on the show by their partners, they didn’t just leave. I was a police officer for many years, specialising in cases of domestic abuse and abusive patterns of behaviour. I thought we had got past victim blaming in relation to domestic abuse? People don’t leave abusive relationships, even short-term ones, for a variety of reasons. The person is not abusive 100% of the time. When they are kind and compassionate, it can become intoxicating, especially in contrast to when they are awful. This makes victims crave the good parts, and they are conditioned to believe that the bad parts are their fault. This makes them want to “try harder” and “be better” for their abuser, because the good times become the reward. There is also the fact that abusers can be scary, and they can play serious mental games with a victim. The victim literally may not understand that they are being abused. The victim may fear that they will not be believed, or that the abuser will create a smear campaign against them, making them out to be the bad one, and trying to ruin their life and/or reputation. Abusers deny that they have done anything wrong when called out, and are masters at turning the tables on their victims, convincing them that they are the abusers, not them. This is called DARVO: deny, attack, reverse victim and offender. Throw in a reality TV show with cameras, the promise of fame, and the impact of leaving a show and the reputational costs this can have depending on what is aired in your absence, and it creates the perfect scenario for abuse to breed, go unchallenged, and for victims to feel trapped with someone who is hurting them. Instead of asking ‘why don’t they leave?’ we need to ask ‘why does the abuser act like this?’ @Rachel_SUTDA

@annieduffin @marksandspencer On a most basis consumer level I am pretty sure M&S do not supply bras that would fit a trans ID male. (Broad back, negligible cup size.) So it must all be an enforced pretence by the fitters, before confirming they don't have their size.

While Jewish extremists attacked and harassed Palestinian Christians and Muslims in Jerusalem, other Jewish activists were distributing flowers to people. One group chose hate and violence. The other chose love and peace.

Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt
Israel the victim??? If narcissism were a crime, this could be added to the lot to be considered by the court.
Israel Foreign Ministry@IsraelMFA

Today, the @nytimes chose to publish one of the worst blood libels ever to appear in the modern press. In an unfathomable inversion of reality, and through an endless stream of baseless lies, propagandist Nicholas Kristof turns the victim into the accused. Israel - whose citizens were the victims of the most horrific sexual crimes committed by Hamas on October 7, and whose hostages were later subjected to further sexual abuse - is portrayed as the guilty party. This publication is no coincidence. It is part of a false and well-orchestrated anti-Israel campaign aimed at placing Israel on the UN Secretary-General’s blacklist. Israel will fight these lies with the truth - and the truth will prevail.

Woman have the right to say no. It is a question of boundaries and where you draw the line. Men cannot become women. Men who identify as women retain the same offending rates no matter how they identify. Protect women's spaces. It is our right.
Sall Grover@salltweets

As we approach the Giggle v Tickle decision, I’m remembering that • I received an Australian Human Rights Commission complain citing “gender identity discrimination” when I was 14/15 weeks pregnant. • The AHRC was, imo, never neutral. It was gender ideology capture from the very beginning. While they were talking about “assigned sex at birth” and “lived experience”, I was 20 weeks pregnant & found out I was having a girl. • To settle the complaint in the AHRC - and not have it escalate to federal court - I had to • agree to let him on the woman only social networking app I created • a let all men who claim to be women on the app • apologize • attend “sex & gender education classes • pay $20,000 • moderate all content on the woman only platform so men who claim to be women weren’t offended by it. • The AHRC never meaningfully entertained my argument that woman only spaces were lawful. I always felt that their stance was, “you’re guilty, admit it, accept it.” • While contemplating the magnitude of what I had to do, I thought about my daughter & that I would eventually be teaching her to stand up for herself & do what is right. How could I do that if I ran away when something seemed too hard? • I said “NO” to what the AHRC was offering. Tickle filed in federal court 60 days later and “Tickle v Giggle” began. • A federal court case + full appeal & my daughter is about to turn 4 years old. Giggle v Tickle has been in the background of her whole life. Any time the case has been incredibly stressful - and there have been many times, I was losing my hair at one point - I have just focused on my daughter & it instantly became easier. I want her to have rights & will do everything I can to ensure that she does. • I want every woman & girl to be able to say “NO” to a man, no matter how he identifies, and not be punished for it. • At no point in the past 4.5 years have I been even remotely convinced that men can be women. Not once. In fact, I’m more sure than ever that they’re not. • Thank you everyone for the support. It would be impossible to have this fight without it. gigglecrowdfund.com 🩷

It’s staggering and deeply revealing how in 48 hours of commentary on Keir Starmer, his role in enabling Israel’s genocide has been entirely erased. Westminster and Fleet Street might not consider it important, but history will never forget.

"Soy judío y estuve en Gaza como médico humanitario, lo que hacía antes Israel era un genocidio lento, ahora es total. Los israelíes son excelentes torturando, lo hacen a todas horas y han matado a médicos violándolos hasta la muerte". Médicos humanitarios judíos denuncian el genocidio sionista en Gaza y las brutales torturas a las que someten a los médicos palestinos, como al doctor Adnan al-Bursh, jefe del departamento de ortopedia del Hospital Al Shifa, que fue violado hasta la muerte... sin embargo, esto no es ningún escándalo en Occidente.

"Keeping separate toilets for boys & girls is a basic, common-sense safeguard that protects girls, the group that suffers most when toilets are biologically mixed."
Máire 🇮🇪@mochara57

A personal observation from my time working (23yrs) in a school 🇮🇪 During supervision duty on corridors before start of classes, during break times & end of school day, one of the regular jobs was moving groups of boys away from near or outside the girls’ toilets. They’d hang around there & target the girls coming out with some really vile, nasty comments. It wasn’t every boy or every day & plenty of teenagers never went near this kind of behaviour, but it happened often enough that it became part of the routine. What struck me most was how schools show a side of teenage life that parents rarely see, a boy who was perfectly decent on his own could completely change when he was with his mates. In the group, some of them switched into this laddish mode where the ‘fun’ was making crude remarks about girls, scoring points with each other by being as obnoxious as possible. It was all about getting laughs & kudos from the pack. I’m pretty sure most parents have no idea this goes on, they see their son at home & assume that’s how he acts everywhere. At the same time, they often don’t realise what their daughters are dealing with every single school day, the comments, the waiting around, the feeling of being targeted just for walking down a corridor or using the toilet. It’s a reminder that the group dynamic in secondary school can bring out behaviours that would never happen in isolation & a lot of it stays hidden from home.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Keeping separate toilets for boys & girls is a basic, common-sense safeguard that protects girls, the group that suffers most when toilets are biologically mixed.
