So much respect for this woman and what she’s chosen to do. Incredible.
Gisèle Pelicot walking to take the stand today, her strength echoing in every step: “It’s not for us to have shame, it’s for them,” she told the court. "I want all women who have been raped to say: Madame Pelicot did it, I can too. I don't want them to be ashamed any longer,"

A Taylor Swift dance class. An Ariana Grande concert. These are attacks on GIRLS. Failing to mention the sex of most of the victims obscures the fact that this is MVAWG, not random violence. #MVAWG

This is heart breaking for Nottingham 💔
Today, we are saddened to announce that Nottingham Castle Trust has begun the process of appointing liquidators. This is a heartbreaking day for trustees, our dedicated staff, visitors, and the city. If you are due to visit, please see our website for further details.

Alongside sewage in our seas, gas prices plunging people into poverty, the worst drought in Europe in 500 years, ambulances taking 40 hours to arrive, nearly everyone being on strike, polio returning to London and our Government being AWOL… our democracy is slipping away.
Emily Maitlis - "We are seeing politicians move in directions that are deeply & clearly deleterious to basic democratic government...it's about people in power who are prepared to test the very limits of the constitution to achieve their aims..."

#Nottingham is the birthplace of the misogyny hate crime movement. We're asking for support from our local MP's today @LilianGreenwood @AlexNorrisNN @NadiaWhittomeMP @RuthEdwardsMP @DarrenG_Henry @Tom_Randall
As Domestic Violence rates soar, we must send a clear message that violence, harassment and abuse of women is unacceptable wherever it occurs. MPs can help by supporting Amendment 84 on the Domestic Violence Bill today. Ask your MP to help make misogyny a hate crime.

Replying to @MelJeffs
Plugging our monthly 'Difficult Conversations' through @NottmCommunity exploring the nuance not possible through social media... All views welcome as long as you come with an open mind 😉

Twitter has never been the place for sensible nuanced conversation, I get that, but I can’t help thinking that the world might be a little bit of a better place if we all listened a little harder and tried to find some understanding. The truth is usually somewhere in the middle.

We need to have face to face conversations with people again.

This is important - it’s ok (normal in fact) to feel ‘not ok’ at the moment 👇

Any #Zoom experts in here? Can my ‘host’ a meeting at the same time as I attend someone else’s meeting? I’ve set my meeting to ‘allow participants to enter before host’ already... is that enough?

"If you can only be tall because somebody is on their knees, then you have a serious problem” - the words of the late, great Toni Morrison. Racism is an evil that none of our societies can claim to be immune from. But we must stand against & eradicate it. #BlackLivesMatter

Oh god, this. I cant begin to understand how deep this pain runs, none of us outside of this community can. We've got to listen & we've got to learn. There will be thousands of little ways we are all complicit in this. We've got to stop being defensive & just DO MORE AND BETTER.
