Protestors outside the Sandyford in Glasgow on the last day before the safe access zones come in. They cannot arrive soon enough. No “silent prayer” today. Loud protest that would be distressing for any woman or girl accessing the services 😭

I know many of you will know Dr Emily Cooper (criminographer): if, like me, you still have a Twitter/X account but never use it, please consider making an exception to send her and Darren your love, support, prayers - whatever you want to offer.

This is so good. Full of killer quotable lines. eg “He's managed to turn […] Tesla from an icon brand catering to well-off environmentalists to […] one instead associated with impotent try-hard faux-masculinity.”

Could someone please persuade @dieworkwear.bsky.social to start posting his cool stuff about men’s fashion on here? It’s literally the only thing I miss from X/Twitter.

I think the time has come to leave Twitter/X. But I can’t do it without one last hurrah for my finest moment. I am on the Blue Place with the same username but nothing I do there will ever top this 😭 #WhenTwitterWasGood

This man grabbed his penis when Spain won and forcibly kissed Hermoso on the lips without her consent. All on live TV. Now they are trying to gaslight us into believing “she wanted it” by publishing pictures of her body language. I feel sick. ...

I feel desperately sorry for Mrs Harper. However … Is this to apply to causing death by dangerous driving/careless driving? Even applying it to manslaughter cases drives a coach and horses through the principle of reflecting culpability in sentencing. ...

1. So today I got my first dose of COVID vaccine. I didn’t know until I got there that I’d be one of the first in Scotland to be given Moderna (woo!) But I’d have taken any one of the vaccines. Why? Because I had COVID just over a year ago. This thread is my story.

So upset about Erasmus. For the UK students’ lost opportunities but also for the loss of EU visiting students. Really valued having them in my classes - we learned so much from each other about different ways of doing things. It’s an insular narrow-minded spiteful decision.
