Thanks to @RevDaniel for sharing my FB post about Imane Khelif earlier.
I tweaked the language a little after it took off since my initial attempt to use the language of phobes wasn't as clear as I wanted.
So here it is.

I'm devastated to read this. What @salsachoirboy has achieved with @StJohnsVoices is simply extraordinary; why get rid of one of the best mixed voice choirs in Cambridge? Particularly sad given the strides they have made towards gender equality in @SJCChoir; accepting girl choristers doesn't eliminate the need for more opportunities for adult sopranos. It feels a bit like they're giving with one hand and taking away with the other. Please reconsider this decision, @stjohnscam.

When the Home Office decided images of Mickey Mouse were too welcoming for migrant children, the PCO Professional Cartoonists responded with a welcoming colouring book for asylum seeking children. It’s at the printers… v proud to be involved #asylumseekers

‘Go to the police’, ‘let the courts decide’ - only works for men. Fuck the fucking patriarchy.

“Entitled to the presumption of innocence” is a legal concept meaning he’s entitled not to be punished in law. It doesn’t mean we’re forbidden from forming an opinion as to whether his multiple accusers are telling the truth

Innocent until proven guilty is a legal maxim that ensures due process, it should never be used to quash discussion. Especially discussion reacting to:
- historical corroborating accounts
- medical evidence
- detailed research that creates strong evidence of abuse.

I sat on a jury on a sexual assault case. We sat through 45 minutes of audio of him drunkenly threatening to SA her, him saying he was doing it and that he had done it and STILL I was the only juror that wanted to convict. He got away with it. #Dispatches

The news may be particularly difficult for sexual assault / domestic abuse survivors. Support is always there:

A typically unerringly sensible thread.
“We fall into error if we think that the criminal process is the only arbiter of whether someone has done something wrong.”

Whenever a story like this breaks when women have finally had the strength to speak up against their abusers & predators and someone has believed and heard them, I wonder yet again how long this will go on. Everyone who enables this culture of silence is complicit and should take a long hard look at themselves.
Also I never ever liked RB even when people found him hilarious (and so clever).

Remember: a man in the UK is 230 times more likely to be raped than to be falsely accused of rape.

Men, if you read stuff like this & think “but I don’t know any women stuff like this has happened to” - you do. And you need to ask yourself why they haven’t told you.

To summarise this week: Luis Rubiales will not leave, his mother is willing to starve herself so that he does not leave and the Spanish FA are open to entirely self-destructing Spanish football to prevent him from leaving. Its 11am on Monday morning.

As Elton John sings I’m Still Standing all I can think is what a miracle that is, that he’s raised over $600million for HIV/AIDS, and therefore how many people are still alive - still standing - because of him.

“Right, what do you want to lay on? Bed of roses?”
“Been done”
“Sun lounger?”
“Never”
“Giant marshmallow soap dish?”
“Bingo”

ALT The Serbian singer is lying down on a giant white thing in the middle of the stage. A bit like a cocoon. Or a cloud split in half. Or giant blob of toothpaste. Your guess is good as ours.

HMS Diamond (Daring class destroyer) is currently lurking near my office.
Suspect this is pre-planning in case Anne finally attempts a coup and Charles has to flee to France sharpish.
Pretty certain the Army would declare for Anne. Charles might get the Navy though.

This man is a HERO‼️ Francis Zuber ‘s headcam shows him rescuing a snowboarder who was buried head down in deep powder at Mt. Baker, Washington! Luckily, he spotted him as he almost passed him. #skiing #snowboarding
