While I truly believe my case will set a precedent, we need to stop this happening in the first place. I’m calling on those in power to do more, and inviting them to meet with me. I was left suicidal after my court experience - we need to stop gambling with lives and act now.

Really like Jim Moir ‘s bird paintings. Check ‘em out if you haven’t yet.

A word about evidence.

Same-sex care isn’t a: want, luxury, privilege, it’s a necessity. Since being non-verbal I’ve had to get used to my biggest vulnerability. Still we see people & authorities continue to ignore this safeguarding crisis going on. A crisis that’s avoidable. #ProtectSameSexCare

Friends in low places, #jonathannunn ?

Hardly earth-shattering but 10 Dialogues is now 12 Dialogues. Have added one on friendship (the good, the bad & the impact of notions of being a man) & one on money (what *meaning* does the world invite boys to attach 2 it?). The more dialogue, the better!

Absolutely shameful.

J.K. Rowling “I’d have got involved earlier but I was busy calling you hysterical”

Kulsuma Akter was killed as she walked with her baby in a pram. Habibur Masum is charged with her murder. Kulsuma and Masum were known to the police, with previous conversations about her risk taking place. Our thoughts are with her family during this difficult time #WeRemember
