Books are my bag I love talking about them, love promoting them, love the community. I also think other things are important. Recently I've found my voice on them. Some may disagree & find it upsetting. But I am still me. The me you know. I don't hate anyone.

😂 It's funny because...
I'm producing a movie where all left wing politicians turn out to be double agents, on a mission to drive voters to the right. Fortunately the budget is very low, as we've reached the point where we can just use contemporary news footage to convincingly portray this reality.

@Lizzy11268 Exactly—and that’s where the system fails both victims and communities. Early intervention, stricter monitoring, and mandatory rehab for repeat abusers could prevent escalation. Waiting until someone is killed is reactive justice, not real justice.

A good an accurate report on what Wes Streeting actually said at that hideous LGBT+ NHS conference this week: https://t.co/GpIT9JE85B

For clarity. The guidance is not the law. The law is the law.
@JournalismSEEN @Independent Oh goodness, you really don't get it do you? The guidance is a complete mess.

@babybeginner They are the most wilfully stupid people I’ve ever encountered on here, and bear in mind I once had a man accuse me of being a Satanist because he could see secret, demonic symbols in my header picture, which was a still life of flowers.

Words are not violence. When you pretend that views that oppose your own are violence, you are justifying the use of actual violence towards the speaker. Gender ideology’s reliance on tropes and slogans like ‘words are violence’, its constant rationalisation and justification of

Sex matters and having a female body informs our experience as women. Believing that a man can suddenly become a woman and have the same experiences as us is absurd. https://t.co/ukUiArQgIh

The finding by the British Social Attitudes Survey has been welcomed by feminist groups, who insist that biological sex shapes the life of a woman

Just because someone believes something different than you do shouldn’t make them targets. Accept that they don’t see your views & move on. It’s differing viewpoints that make life interesting & makes the world go round…🤨🤔unless you believe the earth is flat; then I guess it

Oh. Seriously. The Sentencing Bill passed it's 2nd reading? Allowing violent offenders early release? Am I misunderstanding? Please say I am. "Offences include rape, paying a child under 13 for sex, creating indecent photographs of children." ?!?!!!

Whatever you think of anything, these people & everyone else who engages in this type of behaviour are basically fighting a FICTIONAL CHARACTER. Which I suppose is appropriate given they mostly live in the Land of Make Believe 💁♀️
This is pathetic. An emergency motion at the Vancouver Park Board so that woke zealots can stop a Harry Potter forest walk from coming to town. This city, I tell ya.

This is very good news. That man did not fear the public square. He was unembarrassed. He didn’t expect anyone to care about his behaviour, except his victims. Thanks to @bourne_beth2345 and @JenniferSey, he has been disabused of these misconceptions.

I'd better go to bed. I did finish a book earlier so I'll have that to tell you about tomorrow. Til then - Talk to each other don't shout. Dark ironic humour can help. Things are troubled but, as they say, this too shall pass. Goodnight TwitterX friends ❤️

If you ever find yourself thinking that someone is so hateful you have to kill them, the hateful one is most likely you.
🚨NEW: Official court documents for the murder charge of Charlie Kirk's shooter have been released. Regarding motive, the documents reveal he accused Kirk of "spreading hate," and told his partner he "had enough of [Kirk's] hatred" and that "Some hate can't be negotiated out."

I did actually lol. I'm sorry I know I'm all for 'let's calm down and talk about it " & definitely against cancel culture whatever direction it goes but quite honestly chickens and roosts came to mind. OK I'm NOT PERFECT!! 😂🙈

True story.
Occasionally I have to remind myself that most people under the age of 30 don’t know or appreciate that this hyper politically correct world where everyone pretends to be offended and outraged by minor events and stories only really came into existence about 10-15 years ago.

True, sadly. See it daily. Don't want men in women's safe spaces? Bigot. Terf. Question how we deal with ILLEGAL immigration? Racist far right fascist. Want a flag? FASCIST. Want to ask a simple question? SHUT UP YOU FAR RIGHT TERF BIGOT RACIST FASCIST 💁♀️
Christians are far-right. Working-Class people are far-right. Traditionalists are far-right. Concerned parents are far-right. Patriots are far-right. Those who oppose Hamas and extreme Islam are far-right. Those who oppose hundreds of made-up gender identities are

Now I understand What you tried to say to me And how you suffered for your sanity And how you tried to set them free They would not listen, they did not know how. Perhaps they'll listen now
I have legitimately had night terrors and woken up hyperventilating and screaming - yet struggle to get basic respect and recognition, not so much from the right, but from those who consider themselves on the left
