📣 Today is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women and Girls and the start of the #16DaysofActivism.

No one should flee violence and abuse only to face further harm on their journeys to safety or again in the UK.

But this is the reality for many refugee women.

A tiny bit of shameless self-promotion because the gifting season is creeping up on us. If you’re after something delicious, handcrafted, and ethical, my chocolate boxes, bars, and treats make really lovely gifts. Treat yourself, treat someone else, or both, I won’t judge! Reshares appreciated! 🍫✨

I was today years old when instead of looking at a traffic priority sign and trying to work out if I’m the up arrow or the down arrow my brain went “oh, I’m always the one on the left.” 🤦🏻‍♀️

Why is @bsky.app asking me to verify my age again? Do they think I’ve got younger in the last few months?

Husband just referred to the new neighbours, so I thought someone had moved into the house next-door-but-one. Turns put he meant the family who moved in sort-of-opposite us 6 years ago!

Religion is what you do with it.
NEW: Churches in Charlotte are hosting trainings on how to response to ICE agents — with *hundreds* filling pews.

At one training, a child led those gathered in "This Little Light of Mine" — but changed the words to “All around Border Patrol, I’m gonna let it shine" religionnews.com/2025/11/20/a...
As ICE descends on Charlotte, faith leaders draw on other cities' actions to aid immigrants
(RNS) — As many as 500 people, a mix of clergy and other volunteers, have appeared at the training sessions on how to counter ICE.

More politicians and leaders like this, please!
On this Trans Day of Remembrance, we remember the bright and courageous trans people whose lives were stolen by hatred. Their absence is felt across our city.

We will honor them by building a New York where every trans person can live safely, fully and freely.

***Kiwi dip is an iconic New Zealand party dip featuring cream and onion soup mix, with lemon. There are fancier versions, but this is the old faithful. Just in case you want to have a party and need some quick dip to have with your chips. (It's not a party without chips and dip!)

This is both heartbreaking and enraging. Unbearable cruelty. Trans kids' human rights have been obliterated.

Yay!
I’ve written another romcom! It’s about two scriptwriters who can’t stop arguing but have to work together to save a TV show. Also there is kissing. I loved writing it and you can pre-order it here! linktr.ee/LoveSceneAnn...

Do give blood if you're able to. It's straightforward to do, and the staff are lovely. You still get a drink and biscuit too, even if Clubs aren't what they were ...
They didn't want my blood, but they probably want yours! I went to give blood today, but due to a v minor medical issue they couldn't take it. Yet they told me they do need donors. As I couldn't help by giving, instead, I thought i'd publicise this... www.blood.co.uk

Happy Transgender Awareness Week! France has had many famous transgender persons from Rachilde, Coccinelle, Bambi and possibly the Chevalier d'Eon. Third gender or non-binary people have long histories going back to ancient cultures.

This made me smile.
Today is #RLSDay which marks the birthday of the Scottish writer Robert Louis Stevenson who would have been 175 today.
It's also a good day to remember that it is NOT actually his birthday because in 1891 he gave it away to a young girl because she didn't like her birthday. 🧵
