Literally crying hearing how French women applaud Gisele Pelicot every day as she walks out of court. #r4today Everywhere around the world women watch & applaud her bravery too. She stood up for all of us. Because the shame has to switch sides.

Thank you, Mike Galsworthy. Brilliant and disturbing article about bias in the BBC.

The concept Nigel Farage is incapable of grasping is human rights are universal - if we start stripping away basic human rights from any section of society then none of us has rights – just privileges that can be taken away by people in power whenever they want. I’ll fight that to my last breath

BREAKING: Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez today vowed to add abortion rights and gay marriage to Spain’s constitution so they “can never be undone.”

Disgusted by Greg Wallace’s prurient alleged request to a BSL interpreter to sign sexist phrases. Insensitive to women and to people with disabilities. Yet what can be behind such behaviour from a grown man? A deep sense of impotence, alienation and inadequacy, an illness or a disorder?

Wonderful poem by Mary Oliver

I seem to be getting a lot of followers who are men who haven’t posted much or given any indication of who they are. I bet they’re bots. Finding it a bit creepy. Can we refuse followers or do we have to block them?

Interesting

John Prescott. Rest in peace. 🙏🏻

Finding this quite exciting! Ah, what does that say about me?!!!

@savannatherapeutic.bsky.social welcome to Bluesky xx

Says it all. RFK Jr’s sister.

Not at all delighted that I’ve had a number of inappropriate direct messages from people, allegedly men, with inspiring conversation starters like ‘Hello dear’. Whether these are real people, scammers or bots, I instantly block them. Who else gets these and how do you deal with them?

Delighted to see more and more people deserting that other social media place and appearing here!

there is a major religion story not being included in these election postmortems

Today Jimmy Carter is officially too old to play with Lego

Very well expressed

I had an experience at work recently that left me very shaken, and was advised to phone Education Support. Such an amazing resource: an immediate hour of counselling and kindness which really helped. Thank you, @edsupportuk.bsky.social. And #edusky friends - if you need help, phone 08000 562561.

So true. This relatively simple thing, as regular practice, can return us to ourselves.

Excellent news!

After last night’s debate, I am inspired by Kamala. I feel I have so much to learn from her. I think she could make such a difference internationally, as well as in the USA. Any thoughts?
