How meningitis rash looks on Black skin 👇🏾 Take note because there is no mention of how it presents itself on Black people.

Absolutely sick to death of hearing about how the new @louistheroux documentary has made people think about attitudes to women. Lots of MPs jumping on the bandwagon. I mean, no disrespect to Louis - I’m grateful for the highlight - but for God’s sake… Women get killed by their partner every week. Tiny Man Tate has been a thing for years. Domestic violence shelters are overwhelmed. Women have been waving the red flags about incels and attitudes for years. We’ve been begging for change. We’ve been highlighting the serious threat of anti-women social media. Then a MAN makes a documentary and suddenly everyone’s interested? Do you not all think that this might be part of the problem?

@geen_lesley @jamie_wallis @BloomandWild were

@geen_lesley @jamie_wallis @BloomandWild The CEO is the same but we’re acquired by venture capitalists including Rishi Sunak’s wife. Suspect quality gone down since investors wants to optimise margin

Usually we are ecstatic with mother’s days flowers from @BloomandWild but the quality this year is really bad. Three of our showstopper stems are decapitated 😞. Always a tribute for my partners late mum and I am gutted.

@Ermintrude2 @Malala How much more evidence is required? ohchr.org/en/press-relea…

@Malala It’s not genocide, Malala. It’s war. War is horrible. But let’s not misuse language

I had the privilege to share my solidarity with the Palestinian people in a meeting with Ambassadors Riyad Mansour and Majed Bamya, and Senior Advisor Sahar Salem at the Permanent Observer of the State of Palestine to the United Nations. The ongoing Israeli genocide has destroyed or damaged every single school in Gaza. Places where children gathered, asked questions, made friends and imagined their futures no longer exist. The scale of destruction demands accountability and justice. And Israel is still blocking books and school supplies from entering Gaza, alongside other essential items like water, food and medicine — threatening the survival of an entire generation. Malala Fund will continue to support organisations responding to the crisis. We stand with local leaders working to help girls learn, rebuild their communities and shape their own futures.

What happened when we made our Deputy Editor experience period pain? To mark Endometriosis Awareness Month, our Deputy Editor, Giles Whitell, tried the Crampsta — a realistic period pain simulator designed to mimic menstrual cramps. It comes as new data from Endometriosis UK reveals the average time it now takes to receive a diagnosis in the UK has reached 9 years and 4 months. Endometriosis is a long-term condition in which tissue similar to the lining of the womb grows elsewhere in the body. It affects 1 in 10 women, and symptoms can vary widely — but for many, they are severe, painful and life-altering, as The Observer's Phoebe Davis explains. #TapInTapOut

@Bex_Runs Congratulations on 💯

Today I ran my 100th parkrun at Donaupark in Vienna 🤩🥳 Taken approx 20 mins off my average parkrun time in 18 months!

@altrinchamhq The bullying and misogyny of the founder killed it for them rather than the beer

I remember when people used to love Brewdog. I'm that old. People used to love the marketing, the drinks and more. And in the last 5 years it's gone the opposite way. It's brand that people just don't love any more. Where do you stand?

Nobody can argue what #IanHuntley did wasn’t disgusting, unfathomable and he deserves to die behind bars but the celebration of a 3x murderer and rapist attacking him is also disgusting. Humanity seems lost - can’t criticise others lack of when showing none ourselves

Urgh all the people saying voting for the Greens is antisemitic. They deny genocide in Gaza. You can condemn terrorism by Hamas and condemn the Israeli Govt - two things can be true at once #HannahSpencer #GortonandDentonByElection

Here’s why I hate LinkedIn

@Bex_Runs Well done you, I did 12km in a parkrun sandwich. Not 12 miles though! Beautiful day for running

12 miles starting with a ‘fast’ parkrun effort, done. Nice spring day, lovely to run in sleeves! Parkrun 98 done… looking fwd to finally reaching my 100th in Vienna in March

@secretclubprov So you think the people making you a profit should live on below minimum wage (i.e. in poverty) and/or need to be topped up by benefits paid by wider domestic taxpayers?

It now costs £111,000 to employ three 21 year olds on minimum wage for 40hrs per week each. Next time you complain about the price of the Timothy Taylor’s at the GC bare this in mind This is not sustainable for many businesses

@sophielouisecc Did you say the same about Johnson, Truss and Sunak?

I want Starmer to resign, not because of Mandelson But because he’s an absolutely shit PM. This country is at breaking point and we need change

Just seen a Facebook post from someone called Bethany (no clue who she is) saying ‘I’m on the fence about Lucy Letby’. This is where we are at now. Random people thinking they’re a high court judge while sitting on their silver velour sofa in their grey lounge.

@altrinchamhq @GrahamBowcock About £6

@jonobbs @GrahamBowcock good to know - what price?

I’m not normally one to comment on issues like the cost of living, but I’ve just done my Tesco order for tomorrow. £107! There are two of us. There’s no booze in that order. Apart from a steak pie, no meat (we use a proper butcher). It’s mainly consumables and cosmetic stuff.

@altrinchamhq @GrahamBowcock Not at Craven Rd chippy - very reasonable there

@GrahamBowcock The big shock for me this week was finding out the average price of fish & chips is £10.96 When I was a kid you got chippy tea for a family for 4 for £10.

@SimonDanczuk @CocoDanczuk @reformparty_uk You know that Reform would have your wife deported, right?

Me and my wife (@CocoDanczuk) at the @reformparty_uk Gorton & Denton Parliamentary By-Election Campaign Office - it’s a referendum on Starmer, a vote for Reform will help get rid of this truly despicable Prime Minister.

@Marquis_de_Sap @croucher_tiger @UntenableX @Ermintrude2 In this context it’s a plumber/heating tech who fits heat pumps. Go after her for her/her party’s policies but the picking away at her career is nauseating

@croucher_tiger @jonobbs @UntenableX @Ermintrude2 What’s a clean energy technician? Thought it was a fancy word for plumber or hvac.

We can draw a few conclusions from this laughablely transparent piece of performative PR from Green Party candidate, Hannah Spencer: 1. She can't plaster. That lump is never going on the wall. 2. She can't board out. The boards on the wall behind her look like they were done by a child, and there's no scrim tape on the absurd joints. 3. We can assume that this room is some kind of prop or personal project, nobody is paying for that amateur job. 4. Because people who work in or around these trades will not be fooled by this obvious fakery, this type of PR is designed to trick a certain type of person, likely the non-working class and middle classes who perhaps idealise the concept of the working class hero (but are repulsed by the actual working class).

@Ermintrude2 @UntenableX It’s ok to call out the genocide undertaken by the Israeli Government in Gaza though, yes?

@jonobbs @UntenableX She also made a warped and evil link between the Holocaust and Gaza. That’s ignorance
