Just catching up with Graham Norton from last night. Disappointed nobody challenged Anthony Mackie’s ‘hey girls take your boyfriend to see Captain America on Valentine’s Day because he puts up with you the rest of the year’. So misogynistic. Should’ve given more time to the iconic Cyndi Lauper 🙌🏼

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

I feel like I have achieved lots today, most notably…

✅ I made it into the office for the first time this year and saw real people
✅ we had a successful vet visit where Molly let the vet take 2 samples from the lump on her chest!

Adulting is such fun 🥳

This is a devastating case.
Ryan Wellings, who abused and coercively controlled Kiena Dawes for two years, threatening her with acid and to use a drill to take out her teeth, was today CLEARED of manslaughter after her suicide.

Today’s result is an abhorrent injustice. This is murder in slow motion ⬇️

Horrific violence, bullying and belittling ended with suicide of previously ‘happy-go-lucky’ young woman

Stuart Hogg walks free after 5 years of coercive control against his wife. His lenient sentence raises urgent questions about how we address domestic abuse.

“I feel like Stuart’s had absolutely no punishment. My first thought was, is that it? It’s not enough,” said Gillian Hogg.

Beer and carols but with soft drinks. Sounded so lush. Singing makes me so happy 😀

Karen’s guide to surviving the festive season part 1:
✅ tell people if you feel anxious at parties. You won’t be the only one!
✅ get LOTS of sleep 🛌
✅ avoid alcohol if it makes you more anxious
✅ get outside while it’s light
✅ protect the time where you have nothing planned (this is hard!)

Survived the work Christmas night out by remaining completely sober and leaving straight after the meal. I do have lovely colleagues but I struggle when they’re all drunk 🤪

Nothing says ‘I’m not a misogynist’ like stereotyping women.

Great work Gregg, tell us who you are again.

SUBTEXT: women of a ‘certain age’ who are more versed in this type of alleged behaviour are less compliant to it than those of a younger age, and this irritates Gregg.

Wow. Gladiator II is epic. Gripping from start to finish. The perfect way to spend a stormy Saturday afternoon 🎥
