- I keep thinking of the daughter and siblings and the love they are giving their mum. It's the only bit of comfort I can find in this evil.
- I've always supported the idea of assisted dying. I don't support the bill. We need to fix the NHS, social care, housing provision, cost of living crisis, and better fund hospices. I don't believe that vulnerable people are protected from being coerced by others.
- Replying to @JennyAThatcherThey don't understand that having no money means no money. And just how miserable that is. To not be able to buy a cold drink or buy an incidental that wasn't planned for.
- I wish we were taught about peri menopause and menopause in school. If it wasn't for yoga/ women's circles/ close women friends, I would be completely clueless!
- Misogynists who say disgusting things about sex with sex workers, say disgusting things about sex with all women. They hate women. The idea that 'good' women are protected from this is nonsense. How men speak about sex workers tells you a lot.
- Replying to @EveHayes123Did they say why? If it's for insurance purposes, surely you agreeing to supervise your daughter at all times will be sufficient? mothers should not face this x
- Today is #WorldBloodCancerDay and my haematologist has confirmed that I have Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia (CLL). I'm on watch and wait, which feels very weird. Research, treatment, and support needs so much more funding.
- It's Sunday of the bank holiday, so I'm not offering long explanations of this. You can hate that sex work exists and still want the best conditions and broadest range of options for those who sell sex and sexualised services. I will stand with sex workers until the day I die.
- I have been involved with sex work for 22 years. It started in the strip clubs, and it's involved doing a Ph.D with sex workers in prison. Speaking over sex workers is a sh*tty thing to do.
- Last night was the highlight of my 11 years in HE. We invited 150 guests from across the university and city to watch our SOCI106 students pitch their ideas. Thank you @livunicareers @CivicDataCoop @LivUniSLSJ @LpoolCityRegion @LivUniWP @LivGoHigher @LivUniLibrary @livuniHSS
- During each lockdown my heart broke for the women and children who would be locked inside with their abusers. A very harrowing, brave, and important account.I’ve hinted at my birth trauma & experiences of domestic abuse on here in the past but have never been brave enough to tell my story publicly. In light of today’s birth trauma report, I’m sharing the anonymous article I wrote about my awful experience. whowhatwhy.org/justice/crimin…
- Last night, I was commended for Innovation of the Year. This is very much a team award for @livunicareers @LivUniLibrary @CivicDataCoop @lpoolcityregion who I've loved every second of working with. @MattUoL
