@GSpellchecker @spikedonline My only complaint is that they didn't kick him hard enough.

"He should consider himself very, very lucky to have only received a boot to his bonce rather than a bullet". I explain 'Why it’s okay to kick a knife-wielding terror suspect in the head' in @spikedonline spiked-online.com/2026/04/30/why…

Can you help to locate Maya who is missing from Crawley? The 14-year-old was last seen in the town on Tuesday 28 April at around 12.30pm (midday). She is 5'5" with black, shoulder-length hair. Maya also has links to Brighton, Chichester, and Worthing. Anyone who sees her or knows of her whereabouts should call 101 quoting serial 1000 of 28/04.

@Terf_Rocks I currently have shares of a cat who's now on my bed fast asleep. This is the last time as I move later today, so there's a mixture of happy and sad. It's taken a year for her to trust me.

Can’t believe it’s almost been 2 yrs since I saw this feral cat running down a country lane & I was lucky enough that he allowed me to welcome him into my home. I named him George even though for quite a while he was known as the asshole. However not anymore. Now he’s Just George

How sweet.

@HJoyceGender I've never worn a pair of fake tits, massive or otherwise, so by that nobber's reasoning I've never existed. I might try crime then explain my predicament to the arresting officer. Best make it a good one.

Existence = wearing great big massive fake tits, apparently. Who knew.

I got banned from the park for trying to line up the squirrels by height. This town doesn't like me critter sizing.

@JohnWight1 He could have easily avoided getting kicked in the head by not stabbing a couple of Jews and running threateningly at the police. You fucking idiot.

This is outrageous. The guy is clearly incapacitated on the ground, having rightfully and thankfully been tased, yet two police officers are repeatedly kicking him in the head. Who do they think they are: members of the IDF?

@australianwoma1 At least they didn't need to queue.

Nature at its finest. 🚍

@winnielark Blimey, she sounds like a great woman to have a cuppa with. Maybe she'd spit in my face but it would be an honour to hear her speak about this. What a shame her govt murdered her, she didn't deserve it, she only did what men wanted.

I finished this book just a little bit ago and oh my god. I really think this should be spread around radfem spaces as much as the SCUM Manifesto and Pornography is. A really harrowing read but an amazing feminist text, from the mouth of a woman sentenced to death in 70s Egypt

@woofknight @PrivateEyeNews one for #PseudsCorner shurley.

Posting for a friend not on X. Her cat “Big Clive” has been missing from Saxon Fields area of #Andover since Sunday 26th April. Chipped & was wearing yellow collar with tag & bell. Large neutered ginger male. Please share and if in area look out for him please. 🐈

@jan_murray They're punishing you for embarrassing them. You made them look like cunts and they hate that.

In the email I received from Scope last week - cancelling us from their London Marathon “cheer team” because of my lawfully held views about sex and gender - they said they would pay our fee anyway, so no one was out of pocket. We had agreed a fee of £300. That just about covers singers’ train fares and a coffee. We typically sing for four hours without a break. For that fee, we also provide our own PA system, microphones, independent power source and other equipment Scope would otherwise need to buy or hire to have us there. Before the event, I had replaced some music stands - which get broken quite easily when you’re performing outside an and bought new props, masking tape, spare batteries and other bits. Out of my own money, with a view to reimbursing myself when there was enough in the choir account. When Scope reversed its decision at 6pm the night before the marathon, only one other singer felt comfortable performing at their cheer point. So we decided it was better to find another spot on the course - hence singing at Mile 15. Scope has not paid the invoice. In previous years, they paid before the event. So I am now scrabbling around to cover train fares for the singers who did come and sing - using the small amount left in the choir account from other gigs and a couple of kind donations received over the weekend. They’ve all said it’s fine. But it doesn’t feel fine to me. Covering singers’ travel is the least I can do. I won’t be able to reimburse myself for the equipment. Given all the upset Scope has caused, you might imagine they’d at least have paid the invoice they said they would pay. Just extraordinary.

@TheAttagirls I prefer to not sugarcoat anything myself, it's just my way. There are people who say I'm not diplomatic but I don't care. It's good that you have a cracking GP, they're not easy to find nowadays.

@SuchCis I’m glad, Balonz, and good morning. My GP is a man and I wouldn’t swap him for the world. He has been my GP for eleven years and is a straight-talking Northerner, so he doesn’t sugarcoat anything. I much prefer that.

Woman of the Day doctor, teacher and suffragist Emily Stowe of Ontario died OTD in 1903 aged 71, the first woman to publicly practise medicine in Ontario, the first woman principal of a public school in Ontario, founder member of the Canadian Women’s Suffrage Association, and instrumental in creating the first medical school for women in Canada. Emily’s parents were farmers and Quakers, a community that encouraged the education of women. She and her sisters were home-schooled by their mother who also taught them skills in herbal healing. 15 year old Emily began working as a teacher and combined this with further studies at the only advanced school in Canada that accepted women. After graduation, she became the first woman school principal (headmistress) in Ontario at a school in Brantford. Marriage at 25 put paid to that. The marriage bar, which only applied to women, was in place. In 1865, she applied to the Toronto School of Medicine. Its president made his position clear: "The doors of the University aren't open to women, and I trust they will never be”. Her response? “Then I will make it the business of my life to see that they will be opened, that women will have the same opportunities as men.” Emily left Canada for the New York Medical College for Women but returned to Toronto in 1867 — the year of Canada’s birth as a country — to open a medical practice on Richmond Street, where she specialised in treating the diseases of women and children. Doctors trained in the USA then had to undergo further training and examination to obtain their medical licences so she did the rounds, applying again to the Toronto School of Medicine to take classes in chemistry and physiology, being turned down, applying again. You know the drill. “My career has been one of much struggle characterised by the usual persecution which attends everyone who pioneers a new movement or steps out of line with established custom.” Eventually, the university relented. Emily became one of the two first women to attend classes, along with Jennie Trout, but she still didn’t receive her medical licence so she did exactly what you might expect. She practised without one for over a decade. Perversely, it was a criminal trial in 1879 that gained her public support. She had given a tiny amount of medication to a young woman who later died in unexplained circumstances, and was accused of trying to facilitate an abortion, which was unlawful. Emily gave her evidence in such a way that it was clear to everyone that she was a skilled and knowledgeable doctor. The coroner’s jury concluded that the young woman had killed herself and although Emily was later charged with administering the drug, she was quickly acquitted. The court of public opinion was now on her side. Months later, the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario exempted her from the need to pass another exam and granted a medical licence on the basis of her expertise and previous work. Emily didn’t stop there. Determined to improve women’s access to higher education and to clear the path for other women to attend medical school without jumping through the man-made hoops she encountered, she pressured the University of Toronto to change its no-women policy, and agitated for a dedicated medical school for women. “The day will come when these doors will swing wide open to every female who chooses to apply.” 1883 was a pivotal year. That year, her daughter Ann Stowe-Gullen became the first woman to graduate from a Canadian medical school, the literary club she founded became the Canadian Women’s Suffrage Association — as vice president, Emily led a public meeting calling for better opportunities for women — and the Woman’s Medical College opened in Toronto. She never stopped lobbying, organising petitions and rallies, giving speeches or writing to newspapers to set out the case for women’s suffrage. Canadian women were granted the vote in 1918. Emily didn’t live to see it, but she did see those doors gradually opening to women in medical and other professions. "The day will dawn when women will equal men not only in the medical profession, but in every other position in which she is qualified to excel.”
