ONE HUNDRED AND SEVEN women all killed, or suspected to have been killed by men in the past year. This cannot be normalised! 😤💔

'I would say to any woman: you can do it! Whatever it is, however many people don’t believe in you, believe in yourself and just go for it. There’s no job a woman can’t do.'

Staying physically active is so important, especially as you get older, even if you’re a dog!

I’ll be keeping active as I attend Crufts this Friday at the NEC

I wonder if they will have any Schnauzers there 👍🏽

#crufts #nec #schnauzer #dogshow #dogs

Wishing all the teams at #Crufts over the weekend the very best of luck in the events they are competing in!

I know how much effort has gone into the preparation and thank you too to all of the awesome display teams showcasing the very best of K9 Policing! 🐕

Cornish schnauzers were out at the weekend enjoying a walk and supporting #Schnauzerfest 👏 Simple dog walks are the heart to Schnauzerfest and we’d love you to get involved.

Pick a place to walk, invite friends and family to join you & make a small donation and voila, that’s all there is to it 🙂

Today is for Sarah! 💔

We’d love you to visit our current auction #schnauzergang

Stop reading the Daily Mail, says Top Neurologist 😀

The thread below totally debunked this 'story' over the weekend. This is the Mail today.

You can read below that they were there for days without incident or trouble, but look at the images the Mail opted to use...

View from the top of the tower at Manchester Town Hall. In this photo the crowds look like dots.

On this day in 1988: the Stop the Clause (Section 28) rally brought 20,000 protestors to the streets of Manchester.
At the time it was the biggest lesbian and gay rights demo held in the UK, possibly the world.
A law designed to erase us made us more visible than ever.
Can you spot me?

These two women are suing Andrew Tate, alleging he raped them. Here they visit the social media companies that created Tate. Please share.

Taunts, harassment and assaults: landmark report finds racism at Australian universities is ‘systemic’ Survey by Australian Human Rights Commission found universities failed to meet duty of care, while complaints processes were ‘Kafkaesque’

“Racism is ‘systemic’ at Australia’s universities… students have mocked their Palestinian peers with shouts of ‘terrorism’, some students have been followed by campus security and First Nations students have been compared to ‘petrol sniffers’ in lecture halls.”

Institutionalised racism is shameful.

Genuinely, never using an algorithmic timeline for my news and twitter-like content has been absolutely transformative for my mental health and politics.

Straightforward answers to start the week: • Why don't we have a straight pride - then go and arrange one. • Why don't we have men's day - you do its in November! • Why do people shove it in our face - because your face is constantly in our business. • Nobody else celebrates their identity like you - that's because typically other people identities are not the common cause of discrimination. • Why do LGBT+ people have a flag - why do you have a straight flag? • Why do you always promote Pride - because so many people live in shame. • Why a whole month - it isn't to us, it's a whole year, and the rest of our lives. • You want to be a man - no I want to be left alone to express myself the way I choose. • Who's the male in your relationship - nobody that's the point of being a lesbian. • Why special rights for you - equality always seems special to those who have held privilege for so long.

BBC Radio 4 - Free Thinking, Queer Histories How do we apply modern LGBT+ language and identities to historical figures?

Today is the start of LGBT+ History Month in the UK. I joined some cool people a while ago to reflect on why queer and trans histories are rich and powerful. Our histories can illuminate the possibilities of activism and politics, as we work to build a better world.

Keep the conversation going.

Looking at what’s happening in the US I was again reminded of this very profound and prophetic quote from George Monboit!
