Stop calling it a fetal heartbeat at 6 weeks. It’s not a heart. It doesn’t have valves. It doesn’t “beat.” It’s electrical impulses in an embryo the size of a grain of rice.

S.O.S. from Ghana: Under a proposed anti-LGBT+ bill, anyone suspected of being LGBT+ could be punished with 5 years in prison. Sign and stop the bill in its tracks now. #KillTheBill @LGBTRightsGhana a.allout.org/s/OzX3K/

I have been sexualised since puberty. I have a gay son and a trans son and they have rightly demanded the respect to identify themselves as they see fit. I too demand that right. I am here to stay. My gender identity will not be redefined. I am a woman.
Tested positive for COVID though doubly vaxxed. Hoping to avoid a lengthy illness and hospitalisation as a result.
Apparently @trussliz does not want this retweeting😲. You know what to do.

"When I got out, my life was shattered, and again, I had to start rebuilding from scratch. I couldn't function normally, I felt estranged from my life and my friends. I had been re-traumatised by the system that was meant to protect me." crowdjustice.com/case/mental…

Having asked the question ‘Do people care’ about Boris Johnson lying & then ignoring a response it clearly doesn’t like #BBC would be delighted to see this film, now on a staggering 22.6 MILLION views disappear. Let’s make sure they wake up to 23 MILLION on Monday morning
Amazing! 22 MILLION VIEWS! Working TOGETHER we have sent a powerful message to UK media that if they won’t hold this Prime Minister to account for his rampant lying in Parliament we will damn well do it ourselves! How long can you ignore this @BBCNews?

Just horrific. Have any of Labour's leadership team condemned this yet or are they still too busy worrying about whippets?

Just come face to face with a 27 year old white supremacist, who doubts my humanity. He didn’t have the testicles to say anything to my face, just look shitty. Someone who knows him well identified him to me after he had walked away. I’m not sure why I feel so shaken.

Sometimes it’s hard to express how you are hanging on by a thread without sounding like an attention seeking drama queen.
Goodbye Melania Trump most pathetic First Lady in all time. Most likely a wife in name only #WINO
