This experience is horrid! Not uncommon even in hotels with security. Had my hotel door attempted to be opened by a security guard in my last solo trip. Luckily I had door stops so it made a loud noise when he tried. Will link below.

This gentleman forgets that targeted attacks on #Hazaras have been happening under previous regimes too, which is feared to get worse under Taliban rule. #StopHazaraGenocide

Ok so I don’t know Heron personally and am not trans so this isn’t my “fight” so to speak, but I study&write abt domesticity, domestic labour, and gender and am struck by a few things. Thread.

I left my ‘part time’ salaried GP job after 7 years for the exact reason that it wasn’t ‘part-time’ Part time on paper, full time in real hours My “8 hour day” I’d be expected to work an extra 4-6 hrs unpaid, consistently Why do we expect people in ANY job to work for free?!

To repeat what I said in the Scottish smacking debate. I was smacked every single day because my parents were told that was the best way to discipline a naughty child. I wasn’t naughty though, I was Autistic. They didn’t know & I forgive. But I am traumatised. Smacking hurts

No one, after reading this thread, will be able to claim that they did not know the damage caused by ‘austerity’ - or rather by calculated political decisions to harm the people who could least afford it.

What next for the VCS on impact? Really looking forward to speaking at this free @socialvalueuk event on 27/4, sharing the future-facing learning from our evaluation of Inspiring Impact. Tickets here: bit.ly/37zOTe0 NCVO NPC WCVA | CGGC @CDHN_NII Evaluation Support Scotland

The most fervent prayer I have right now is for the world, for humanity, for the planet—for justice, relief, peace, and stability. Everything else feels like it can wait.

This really spoke to me.

Think I might take a Twitter break while on holiday. See you on 3 May.
