Today I cried in the office after seeing a clip of a Gazan toddler crying out for "mama" with her dying breaths. Then I went home to my toddler & kissed her & stroked her hair & breathed in her smell & raged silently at the sheer injustice of it all #CeasefireNOW 💔

@lilithsdatura One of my favourite stories about this amazing lady is when, after the war, she was able to deliver the baby of a woman whose previous pregnancy she'd helped to abort in Auschwitz. If she hadn't done that, that woman would have died and her next baby would never have been born.

@BresockCalculus At my wedding venue, there was a family of hedgehogs who came out at night. My new husband found me crouching on the ground at 2am, wedding dress dragging on the floor, tipsily shsssshing him because I was "following the hedgehog" that was a few paces ahead. He was bemused.

@JCriswell4Him @ray_loux That's a ridiculous argument. By that logic, why should a school provide special support or resources to "a few" students, if the majority don't need it?

@jane_gatsby If you want your baby to explore and engage with the natural world from day 1, don't forget to do as the Ancient Greeks did and leave them on a hill for a few days! If they survive the exposure, they are strong and deserving of picture books and wooden blocks.

@muskyelonmusky @MiliLaff @KainoaValente @GovHawaii So by that logic, schools shouldn't provide toilet paper in their lavatories then?! After all, toilet paper is a hygiene product, not a school supply! Students should bring their own, right?!

@TheCut LOLLLLLL. This isn't the case for marrying an older man, it's a case for marrying rich. My husband is four years older than me. Does that mean I don't get to choose my own wine or clothes or vacations anymore??

@coachyawe @BridgetMarie @72063834 Ummm NO. Miscarriages aren't caused by traveling, so this wouldn't have made a blind bit of difference. Stop blaming women for something which is, 99% of the time, beyond their control. Women can do everything they are 'supposed' to and STILL lose their babies.

@PrisonPlanet I've never had an abortion, solely because I've never been in a position where that that was a choice I had to make. Now that I'm pregnant with my first child, I'm even more pro-choice and supportive of the right to safe, legal abortion than I was before.

@TheTall_Bot @SaMcDuff What about "Come here to me now" or "tell me this and tell me no more" when more info is required??

@sarahnadav Israel is bombing cemeteries. Makes it pretty hard to hold funerals...

‘Israel destroys cemeteries in Gaza in recent airstrikes’

Israeli strikes damage six cemeteries, restoration of graves impossible at some places, say Palestinian officials - Anadolu Ajansı

@TheSonicScrew Don't forget Beretinni is playing in the Wimbledon final right now. So if Italy wins that too, does it become musical tennis played with footballs??

My brother is the paddleboarder featured in tonight's @BBCTwo #SavingLivesAtSea , rescued by @RNLI @RNLIDunLaoghair when he drifted out to sea. I'm so grateful for their quick action, without which his ill-advised outing might have had a very tragic ending.

@cheungkarkei @Patrick57871750 I come from a country ravaged by terrorism for decades. I can tell you that sniping children and flattening whole civilian neighbourhoods wasn't what got the militants to finally lay down their arms.

@Cambridge_Uni Yes you have a limited number of places you can offer, which you did back in Dec 2019/Jan 2020. So honour those offers and let students who succeded at interview attend, regardless of final A-Level results. No one is asking you to accept more students, just to #HonourtheOffer .

@iGotTubmans @jayedohe @CharlTaylorPage @bourbonbun Hey newsflash: people can have more than one feeling. She can love her child and still struggle with the burden of being a single parent. Where's your criticism of the baby's dad who told her to keep the baby, then went MIA?!

@Atlantaholic_ @POTUS You're wrong on all fronts. Hamas was elected in 2006 with 44.45% of the vote. There hasn't been an election in 17 years. Given more than half of the people in Gaza are children, that means the vast majority of people currently living in Gaza NEVER elected Hamas.
