As a more mature woman in my mid 60s, & as a counselling student, I am horrified by BACP’s make up ad & lipstick colours to illustrate “how therapy can make you feel” nomorestiffupperlip.co.uk it’s how I feel on the inside - yes wearing makeup is a choice and it’s not all about how I look.

As a physician, I know conversion therapy is dangerous and goes against everything we stand for in healthcare. It's abusive and not grounded in science.

Utterly disgusted, angry that the world does nothing. This has gone too far. No more. No more babies starving. No more innocent deaths. Why are world leaders watching Netanyahu and doing NOTHING? Shameful. You are all culpable of this as well as Putin’s atrocities.

I won’t share RFK Jr.’s lies about autism. It’s disgusting and dangerous. If he had a shred of decency, he would apologize and resign. Autistic people contribute every day to our nation’s greatness. To every kid with autism, I’m in this fight all the way for you.

It just dawned on me that the relationship between Donald Trump and Elon Musk is suspiciously close—and closed—in the same way the relationship between Trump and Putin is. Then I remembered the WSJ report revealing Musk speaks with Putin regularly. Then I understood everything.

Zelensky is a wartime leader watching his people suffer and die under Russian attacks every day. To be lectured and lied to by Trump and Vance, as they defend the war criminal dictator committing these atrocities, is unimaginable agony. An everlasting shame for America.

Israel will bomb what is left of Gaza. Gazan’s will leave or stay & die. Trump will take over and that’ll be it, this is an horrendous situation for the Palestinian people in Gaza. I cannot believe the rest of the world is doing nothing.

I love this so much! At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions. This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.

The far right is gaining ground. Trump's election speech was chilling.Those who want equality, those who are AGAINST violence & FOR all human rights, whether trans rights or abortion rights, I stand with you now and forever. The USA under Trump is the land of the felon & the home of the liar.

I don’t think I’ve ever been so shocked, horrified & saddened at the suffering & death of a young girl when social services, family members & others could have stepped in. What kind of a world are we living in? This keeps happening. Home schooling without monitoring is unacceptable. RIP Sara.

My wife Shelley cared for her mother for 9 yrs. In her last months Esther constantly begged us to kill her. She couldn't understand the cruelty of not allowing her to die when she was in pain, couldn't move, see, was losing hearing, & in her last weeks, could barely speak.
