Have burst into tears three times now on public transport not sending this tweet but #YouKnowMe and if you didn’t know that about me it because it’s the most personal, difficult and emotional decision I’ve ever made. #AbortionIsAWomansRight
Demographics: people who like this tweet vs. People who got to vote in Alabama
I keep going back to Gloria:
I urge you to to click on the hashtag #YouKnowMe and like some tweets from strangers. There are many brave women sharing their stories into a void that could do with your support.
Let not a single #YouKnowMe confession go with zero likes. Oh please let these women know we got their backs. Whoever or wherever they are whatever their circumstances

Oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god OH MY GOD. I fell asleep on the sofa. And just woke up. BECAUSE A. FUCKING. FOX JUMPED UP ON ME. A FOX.
So I woke up, aware there was a cat on me, which is unusual because I don’t have a cat, but has happened before, and I reach out to cuddle it and it jumps down beside me and is a Fox.

Her: Do you
Him:I don’t even wanna talk about it
Her: It was a lot of blood.
Him: But if it had worked it would have been epic
Her:It didn’t work?
Him: Of course it worked. It was epic
He just said ‘I’m worried I might have to shoot my mother’
I don’t know why I bother trying to write dialogue when you can get a full blown Pinter for the cost of a train ticket.
