I feel like I owe #HarryStyles a huge apology - I only gave his latest 2 albums a cursory listen because I loved his debut too much, but now I've doubled back to them I have to say, what a beautiful collection of songs. This one really got me today 😢

Just came here to blow the dust off this account & it seems I've been put on some sort of snowflake-ish naughty list for existing & following other accounts like me. Oh well. I guess I'll just keep looking for other sensible, well adjusted people like me to follow then. 😂

As a man, I find the term #VAWG problematic when really we all know we are talking about #MVAWG (Male Violence Against Women & Girls)

#TheSilentM is a problem, IMO

Too many ‘M_ _’ are silent

We should speak the ‘M’

I would like to make it clear that I am not representing For Women Scotland in next week's Supreme Court hearing. I appear to be blocked by India on here @indiawilloughby.bsky.social and Twitter, otherwise I would have asked directly for this misinformation to be corrected.

My nephew, who’s mixed-race & fairly typically Left-wing, was called ‘right wing’ by white middle class kids in the pub last night for speaking about the need for single-sex spaces

This is the madness. I’ve known it for 10 yrs+. We all know it, really. It needs 2 get in the bin

I'm at that <always-click-the-show-button-on-posts-marked-intolerance> part of my BlueSky journey. It's always something I want to see & it's also a bit of this 🖕 to the pearl clutchers who think hiding discussions about the GRA is ⛔️ but declaring oneself a MAP is ✅️

Gisèle Pelicot addressing her choice to keep the surname "Pelicot":

"When the trial began, my children were 'ashamed' of the name. I have grandchildren called that. I want them proud. My name is known worldwide now. They shouldn't be ashamed. Today we will remember Gisèle Pelicot."

What a woman.
