My Dad showed 11 year old me what stretches to do to relieve cramps, I've never forgotten them (and never been at all self-conscious re periods as a result)
I hate - absolutely hate - this “you should support all the home nations” patter. I will take no lectures from anyone with such an illiterate idea of THE ENTIRE PREMISE OF SPORTING COMPETITIONS.
Main takeaway from today at conference... the SNP are still full of incredible, inspiring women who want to make Scotland the welcoming, inclusive country it should be.
@joannaccherry
At some point it might be worth examining your own actions before pointing your fingers at colleagues. Unless you’re super keen for Kirsty to experience the same? Because everything you’ve said about riling up the base is *exactly* what you’re doing here.
The amount of ‘women won’t wheesht’s’ trying to get Rhiannon sacked for hate speech would truly make you howl if it wasn’t for the fact that witnessing someone who has been so relentlessly and consistently targeted by some of Scotland’s very worst get it again is just horrible.
@meljomur
It’s not misogyny to tell someone that they’re wrong. Which you are. With astonishing frequency. You really should be able to handle it better at this point.
If Bini’s sprint win was a door to the future, then Cav’s was a window back into the past. Classic, dominant, clever Cav. You could tell me it’s from 2011 and I wouldn’t argue.
Beautiful bloody bike racing ❤️
I am about as far from a royalist as it’s possible to be but can I just say that if the First Minister, instead of representing Scotland among global leaders at the coronation, chose to get onstage with the likes of Colette, Tasmina and Robin McAlpine instead…
@joannaccherry
Your ability to make absolutely anything and everything - so matter how tenuous the link - all about you is honestly inspiring. How do you do it.
@RussellFindlay1
@GussieGrips
And the aggressive screaming in the face of parliament staff? You’re happy to use the people who ensure *your* safety at work as collateral here? Pretty gross Russell.
Look I’m not convinced their tactics are the best way to get people behind the message. But what these guys are doing is showing what cyclists have been saying - a lot of drivers have no issue inflicting physical harm on others when they feel inconvenienced.
We have a responsibility to stop our elderly from freezing to death, to stop children living in cold homes and to stop future generations from an unimaginably horrific future.

Yvonne do you ever look back at what you’ve written and think ‘hmm maybe these scores of people are right, maybe I should get help?’
Run with that thought 👍🏼
@CarolineHirons
I don't get it at all. Here in Switzerland, hairdressers and beauticians etc were first to reopen because its so easy to control both hygiene measures and how many people they see. Not to mention minimises the impact on people who are largely self-employed.
5 years ago today I went to my first ever cyclocross race, organised by a man I didn’t yet know. I was SO excited. I cheered every rider and shoogled my cowbell til I had a blister and hoped I’d get to do it again someday. Happy MKversary

Throwing a public tantrum at one of the lowest paid members of a team (who typically work the longest hours too)? Classless, revealing behaviour. It’s actually really disappointing, Cav’s story has been the most engaging of this tour but that spoils it for me.
@FionaSnp
It’s 2020 and people are still coming out with the ‘well she doesn’t LOOK disabled‘ shite, dear god. I already reported that account last night for transphobia so it’s consistent at least...
RIGHT THEN
@BritishCycling
heidyins, let’s chat. You’ve got an XCO gold (it could be argued in spite of yourselves). You’ve also got a gaggle of incredibly talented youngsters coming through who are in great hands. How about you throw some money at them and see what sticks?
As an unfestive auld cow, I’m not too worried about being alone on Christmas Day. However, it’ll be 5 years since I lost my Dad on Christmas Eve and that’s the day I’m worried about being alone on.
I know I can do it, it’s just going to be really, really shit.
@vonny_bravo
My Dad was the one to buy my first sanitary towels, he even showed me stretches to ease cramps. I was taught it was normal and absolutely nothing to be ashamed of from day 1. I didnt realise how fortunate that made me til reading this thread.
I don’t follow a lot of pro cyclists on Twitter. But I do follow climate activists and that’s how I ended up following Gino. I don’t really have words, he just seemed like a really cool kid who cared. We need to protect this world, as heartbreaking and unfair as it can be

I’ve seen one exempt person the whole time masks have been mandatory in Switzerland, and he was very clearly exempt as he was wheeling his own oxygen tank round the supermarket. Flying back into Heathrow was a bit of a culture shock honestly.
“Indeed, the press release announcing the reshuffle was a masterly piece of Stalinist revisionism in which I was not even mentioned. Airbrushed from history. A non-person. Sounds familiar?”
Can she just, just once, maybe not? 🤦🏻♀️
@NicolaSturgeon
@theSNP
This needed to be said, a lot of us are just devastated and bewildered by the last couple of days, weeks, months etc. Thank you.
I don’t know what I find more annoying - the pointless pontoon, the endless spiral of boredom that took MVDP two whole minutes to get round with all his speed, or the fact that British national champs on a lovely muddy course doesn’t appear to be televised???
Wee lassie (about 6) on a pink mountain bike in a giro kit out the saddle all the way up - think that’ll be the loudest we hear the crowd all day. See you at a World Cup in about 10 years wee yin

despite them being entirely in line with all my political beliefs, I would pinpoint this obnoxious git. The sanctimonious boys club vibe just isn’t for me and Guy is the absolute worst of it.

@MrTryingToBePo1
Having had my dead ex boyfriend show up on WhatsApp as ‘online’, can confirm - it’s incredibly distressing. I had no idea they reissued numbers at that point.
@JayMitchinson
Thanks for defending me James, there’s just no way I could’ve ever speak up for myself. I know that as a woman I love being used an excuse for uncomfortable men to further marginalise trans people. Good job woman defender!
This is fucking grim. All of it. This not the YES movement I signed up for. Independence should NEVER come at the expense of minority groups.
“Exterminated from the party”
Get it right fucking up every single one of you backwards, bigoted fucks.
It’s got to be Humza. If the other two won’t defend the Scottish Parliament (much less progressive policy) then I don’t see how they can achieve independence.
SNP leadership contender Humza Yousaf says the Scottish Government 'has to' challenge Westminster's decision to block the gender reform bill in court.
@HumzaYousaf
says 'if we lay down' the UK Gov will block 'every single bill they disagree with'.
