A reminder - before we start getting lame apology posts - women are not a "learning experience". We should not have to be victimised and traumatised for you to learn how to be a decent human being.

Ke Huy Quan was born in Vietnam, fled to Hong Kong, and then came to the United States as an eight-year-old refugee.
The White House last month released a new rule that would ban refugees that stopped in another country before arriving at the US border.

"My journey started on a boat. I ended up in a refugee camp ... They say stories like this only happen in the movies. I cannot believe this is happening to me. This is the American dream!" - Ke Huy Quan #Oscars

Week 10 - a very busy one as several netgalley requests came in at once. If I could urge you to read one of these authors, it's Samanta Schweblin, a hugely underrated horror writer imo. If you like Kirtsy Logan, Camilla Grudova, and Mariana Enriquez, you need to check her out.

And Natives by Akala is a must read. I love that is isn't objective, I want to hear condemnation, and critique, and judgement.

The fact that the atrocities in Rwanda were only 30 years ago, and yet no one I know knows anything about it, is a crime. Even if you don't read this book, please read up about it. It is horrifying that this sits in silence in western-taught history.

This is claptrap. There are no drag โstrip showsโ for children. There are story times, no different from pantomime,which for CENTURIES has featured men in drag telling kids stories without any controversy.
Culture has not moved. Itโs simply bigots trying to sow hatred & division

The hateful bandwagon I am on is not wanting toddlers in drag queen strip shows.
Dan genuinely thinks that belief is โhatefulโ. Yet ten years ago, no one would have thought this.
How has our culture moved so quickly?
I havenโt changed. You have.

Hereโs some context for Fiona Bruce to consider: my friend was hit โonly onceโ by her drunken husband. She is still unable to walk properly 10 years later.
โOnly onceโ = a vicious, reckless, selfish, sadistic criminal.

BBC statement on last night's @bbcquestiontime
ALT Following comments about an exchange referencing domestic abuse on Question Time, the BBC says Domestic abuse is abhorrent, and we would never wish to suggest otherwise. When serious allegations are made on air against people or organisations, it is the job of BBC presenters to ensure that the context of those allegations โ and any right of reply from the person or organisation โ is given to the audience, and this is what Fiona Bruce was doing last night. She was not expressing any personal opinion about the situation.โ

Standing up for asylum seekers - Bad
Excusing domestic violence - A-OK

I seriously back @BorisJohnson to be the new PM . The public like him and he will have a good chance of winning the general election in 2021 if not before. Any one who can stop @jeremycorbyn from becoming PM has my backing .

Went on a date with a guy who prior to the date had revealed he was an escort for men (no issue for me). During the course of the date, he revealed he had 1. been banned from his gym for trashing it while on steroids 2. told me he wasn't working because he was off his...

This is sad. Multi million pound companies like @ITV, and global singers like @ollymurs, @iamwill, @RealSirTomJones and @AnneMarie and no one can pay a few quid and support a local business.
When banks take exposure as mortgage payments then maybe more people will do this. #payup
