8 - 1 in 4 women in the UK will become a victim of abuse, and for LGBTQ+ people this statistic is almost double. Hurt people, hurt people. We need to heal.

7 - 1 in 3 women in America will become a victim of abuse and they're about to give an abusive man the presidency.

6 - It's very difficult to talk about #DA and #DV because we are often in love with the person doing it to us but we have to hear these stories. We have to teach these stories and we have to hold abusers and the world accountable.

5 - 'Kiena's mother Angela Dawes says that Wellings' prosecution had “violated” her daughter again'. Wellings arrogance and the lack of accountability from his legal team is so chilling. These people genuinely believe they can get away with this behaviour, because often society lets them.

4 -She was "swept off her feet" when she first met him. Always. :(

3 - 'Wellings smiled as he was taken down to the cells'. This is awful - but it's also a sensationalist bit of reporting that paints all abusers as 'pure evil' and allows you to look the other way. Your brother, sister or best friend could be quite happily abusing someone you know right now.

2 - The defence claimed "It's wrong to say the coercive and controlling relationship was in existence throughout", but living in fear of what an abusive partner might do or say to you next IS abuse and the monster is always hiding under the bed.

1 - Having survived an abusive relationship, it was difficult to watch this today and I'm so happy Kiena and her family have found some justice. I have a few thoughts and I don't need you to read them, but I do need to post them. #DV

Elon Musk is spending so much time trigger posting about the UK because he’s annoyed at how many of us have gone to bluesky and he needs to feel relevant.

We look at moments like this on people’s feeds and think that someone must have given a golden ticket, but the truth is that we have to dream it and take action ourselves. That's why this means so much, that despite feeling so sad I still managed to send a few emails and save enough money to do it

If you live down under, please come along, please tell your friends- and let's get coffee? I'd love to make new friends. I can't believe I'm actually doing this. I want to be honest for a second, none of this would be happening if it wasn't for me both believing and investing in me.

What a wanner. I know it’s not all men, but so many men are so small and pathetic. I wish they hadn’t censored him. If he wanted to be in their space, and refused to leave, surely that’s consent
