I don’t know if this will work but I would like to express my thanks to the security guard who protected me and my friends last night from a man who was harassing us in Derby near the taxi rank. When he stood in to protect us, the man seriously attacked the guard for stepping up.
If he ever gets to read this, I just want him to know that we were all worried about you and we were all extremely grateful for doing what you did to stop him from harassing us when we had told him to leave us alone. I’m sorry you didn’t get the support you needed last night.
And I know you said it happens all the time but it’s important that men step in and tell other men when they are being inappropriate, harassing or violent. You did the right thing and I hope you keep doing that when women are in need.
I hope you’re okay this morning and didn’t end up with injuries from the attack which looked terrifying. I know the police stepped in and I hope they took that seriously. I can’t believe how angry the man got just because you told him to leave us alone. You did the right thing.
I was impressed how quickly you noticed his behaviour and the way he was harassing us. You stepped in without hesitation and I heard you clearly explaining to him that he was being intimidating and harassing to us. Thank you for challenging what is a common experience for women

What people fail to realise is that if you actually follow the ‘keep yourself safe from rape’ logic of the preventative advice given to women then statistically, women should be told:

Never date or marry a man
Never be a child
Never live in a house with a man
Never be female
The majority of all sexual offences occur against women and girls, 97% perpetrated by male partners, exes and family members, 95% occur within a dwelling.

So the ‘don’t wear headphones, don’t wear a ponytail, don’t walk in the dark’ advice is bollocks.
So how come this never filters into the so-called ‘safety advice’ for women?

Funny how we ignore the common denominator in favour for bullshit safety advice about headphones and fucking ponytails.

Jeremy Kyle is an exploiter & Graham should have been struck off BACP years ago. They feed off misery, mock vulnerable guests & bully people for fun.
I personally know of two people who went on this show & it destroyed them.

Fucking good riddance.

bbc.co.uk/news/amp/enter…
I hope people begin to see right through this exploitative, classist, manipulative, abusive TV show in which Kyle believes he is some sort of wounded healer who can bully people into change and Graham sits by and/or joins in in mocking guests which breaches his regulations.
I also tweeted & complained on behalf of the people I know who were manipulated/bullied by the producers backstage to distress them as much as possible before going on stage - refused fresh air, had their clothing taken from them, mocked and lied to for 3 hours before show.

A thread

1.
 Interesting that when we talk about the prevalence of women and girls being abused, people say they must be lying, over exaggerating the stats etc.

But when we talk about men and boys being abused, people say the prevalence is low because they don’t report.
2. The same thing happens when we talk about rapists and sex offenders.

When we talk about men making up 97% of offenders, people say women lie and the stats are over exaggerated

But the same people will argue that female sex offending is only low because of non-reporting
3. Does this not seem unlikely to anyone? That all over the the world, in every single country in the whole world, that men make up 97-99% of all sex offenders but that it’s just based on low reporting of female sex offenders? And it’s all a sampling error?

So @LNRailway I went on a train yesterday. Used an e-ticket. Had forgotten to download and activate it *before I got on the train*. Only just caught the train. No problem since it's an off peak day return ticket and a valid train...?

Apparently, that's not allowed? Ludicrous!
The point is...
1) I've bought a ticket
2) It's a valid ticket for this train
3) It's not like I'm trying to get out of paying
4) The "download + activate" part of the app is... frankly a bit weird
5) Have I said I've bought the ticket already?
...
6) What happens if I download it and activate it on the device prior to getting on the train and my device runs out? I HAVE NO TICKET TO SHOW YOU! So it makes sense to activate it when it's checked (since I've already paid remember?)
7) Why not just download it when I buy it?
...

#Tiger_Forces Taha Regiment Abu Luna Group firing and SPG last night/this morning in the Sahel al-Ghab #Hama likely near Qalaat al-Mudiq.

Possibly related to the reported govt raid on opposition positions today.
Members of the Zair Group of the Taha Regiment arrived in Sahel al-Ghab on April 30 (pic 1) and met with Lt Colonel Dourid Awad, the #Tiger_Forces artillery commander, yesterday (pic 2)
Some of the #Syria|n govt reinforcements headed to #Hama tonight - members of #Tiger_Forces Hoareth Regiment under Field Commander Zain al-Abadeen Abu Ali.

On my way to @Die_Gruenen-#BDK18! I'll be sharing impressions so mute me now. It sure has a very democratic feel when most of party leadership ends up hanging out on a train platform in Bitterfeld due to changed train schedules.
#BDK18-rush-hour.

(1) President Trump's first state visit at the White House: Day 1 with the Macrons.

A #TeamTrump #PhotoThread like the others you can access via my pinned tweet. We have the best state visits, don't we folks? #MAGA #KeepAmericaGreat
(2) Day 1 of the state visit will be remembered for the private dinner at the iconic Mount Vernon home of George Washington. There were also meetings and the planting of a very special tree from France.
(3) France's AF1 landed at Joint Base Andrews and President and Mrs Macron received a full ceremonial military welcome. President Macron spoke to the media.

Did you know you can make birch syrup? We put some taps in today. Thanks to @rockylakebirch for sharing their wisdom. :)
We harvested some pine resin the other day & I often smell this jar — it transports me directly into the forest. 🌲 🌲 🌲
Our house is all wood inside, so it looks super warm and cozy at dusk, from the outside.

(can you tell we’re still in love with being here?)

Every day next few days I'll share one #depression/#anxiety insight from my own experience. If it helps anyone a wee bit, it'll be worth it.
1. "#Happiness" can scare #anxiety patients. In our heads, things are always going wrong. Fear of a "happy" moment undone is doubly painful.
Sorry, this won't be a daily affair as I had earlier imagined. But here's insight #2 based on my brush with #depression/#anxiety.
