If a women has a particularly heavy period, she might be changing them every hour, or two, or three, so could easily reach 20 or more.

Someone should make you one of those hyper realistic cakes in the form of your laptop for your last episode,
Then you can take a massive bite out of it at the start, and slowly eat the screen during the episode 😂

This is great thank you.
You probably know this already, yet I still can't stop myself from saying - if you want to draw perfect shapes, including arrows, just keep holding your finger on the screen for a second after you draw something, and it changes like magic! 😃

Exactly. I’ve seen so many replies praising her ‘composure’ in her reply. But if she’d reacted with the same level of hostility then somehow she’d be in the wrong?? It’s not enough being subjected to racism, you then have to ensure your reaction to it is ‘palatable’ to others.

‘The name for a start is ill conceived’
The name being ‘Black Lives Matter’. How on earth can someone think this is ‘ill conceived’? Unless you think black lives DON’T matter?

‘It’s not directly racism’? What??
Do you think racism is only calling someone the n word or p word? And nothing else?
The treatment of Megan by the press IS racism.

@ProfSunnySingh
Why do you 'have to ask'?
Is it too hard for you to believe the words "I think every woman of colour in Britain knows this expression, the way it is deployed and the racist meangirling that it signifies."
Why do you feel obliged to minimise racism? Is this what 'neutrals' do?

I know this is about sea urchins using seashells, and not about crabs, but they’re all sea creatures and just wanted an opportunity to share because it’s so damned cute
I was today years old when I learned that sea urchins naturally use shells as hats to make them feel safer and camouflaged so some aquarists had the genius idea to make them tiny hats

This is disgusting. But Twitter doesn’t care. Last week someone called me a terrorist (because I’m Brown) and said she wished I would blow myself up.
Reported her, twitter said she’d violated Twitter Rules, but her account is still up and the tweets haven’t been deleted. 🤷🏽♀️
I’d like this to reach as many women as possible, RTs appreciated.
This is my story of how I dated a predatory racist, a man who seeks out women of colour, then dates them in order to racially abuse them.

Maybe if you had lived a lifetime of being on the receiving end of racism, you’d be more able to spot the signs. Your simplistic view of racism is ‘she was polite, she can’t be racist’. This is preposterous. Perhaps reading up on the wide variety of racism around would help you.

So if a child makes a mistake and is pulled up on it, how should the child react?
With humility and acceptance?
Or by being defensive, then insulting the person who's called them out?
Interesting example you set.
@Botanygeek
This is so awful. People are so unable to have rational debate that they have to resort to death threats?? This is not a reasonable reaction to hearing something that makes you uncomfortable. What happened to just having a calm, reasonable discussion?

He was probably ‘having a bad day’, or was recently ‘rejected by a woman’. But he was normally ‘such a good boy and a good Christian’. Can’t wait to see all the photos of him as an angelic child!
@Patrick_M_Huang
Haha! That’s brilliant! The one in the middle left didn’t appear to be eating his, he was just waggling it around! 😂 no wonder he was mugged.
Here's the uncropped version of this photo. The Philly Antifa dot org tag is correct - it's from an article on their website naming him and claiming that he is a neo-Nazi activist. So if it *is* the same person, you've gone scored an own goal.
@Mattisbrilliant
@ChrisGPackham
Did you see the tweets by Felix the model painter? He has an unceasing and unhealthy obsession with Chris which doesn’t border on harassment, it steps over the line and jumps up and down, vomiting bile and lies. Chris’s reaction seems quite apt.
@PaulEmbery
@fishplums
This IS exactly the same as 'they've got black friends', and you're the numpty (note the correct spelling) here.
In your wide ranging experience of personally being subjected to racism, have you never heard a racist say 'Oh you're alright, you're not like the rest of that lot'?

You're welcome! That's why I couldn't stop myself saying it!
It's one of the best things in 'markup', it works for circles, squares, rectangles, triangles, straight lines and arrows so far. I don't think it would work for 'cat' or 'dog' or more complex shapes 😁

Not everyone feels safer when the police are around.
If someone isn’t white, it’s entirely possible they already have a distrust of the police based on their actual experience with them. And that was before this horrific case.

You used 'lmfao' twice in your replies. It's not a f'king laughing matter. The fact that this is your 'mindset' is appalling. Oh, you're getting insulted and pilloried for it? Let me get out my tiny violin. That's obviously much worse than being subjected to a lifetime of abuse.
@Akheyre76
This made me so angry. I’m really glad you reacted how you did.
Reading some of the comments on here like ‘it wasn’t racism’ has made me even more angry.
People are proud of their own ignorance! FFS 😡
My cat was Jones in Aliens and my mum decided the correct age for me to watch the film was: 7. The cat is only in the first 15 minutes but she got me to watch the whole film for context or something.

No it’s not a hanging offence, but why ask the question repeatedly? It was hectoring and unpleasant. Why didn’t she accept the first answer she was given? This wasn’t clumsiness, it was done with the aim of belittling her. She was rightly called out for it.

Aw too lazy to even read the article?
It’s almost like you’re just trying to make it about you.
In answer to your question - yes.
“crimes motivated by “hatred of sex or gender”.
Maybe try reading next time, it might help you to avoid looking stupid.

There have always been pubs for racists. I know because I've accidentally walked into a couple of them, then made a very quick exit. Long before Brexit.
But Brexit has made it more acceptable to be racist - that's definitely true.

Wow you think that’s a good ‘explanation’? FFS. She just dismissed it and said it wasn’t racist.
So you believe them rather than the thousands of others saying it is. You’re just believing whatever supports what you think. You don’t actually want the truth.

What is the answer then?
Everyone seems to have a different interpretation of what 'woke' means.
The racists see it as anything anti-racist.
The transphobes see it as anything not transphobic.
And so on. Using 'woke' is particularly unhelpful.
