The only way I like my heights is if they're wuthering.

I have seen more hate toward women spewed by men in the last 48 hours than I have seen in my lifetime. I don't know of a woman who wants a "macho man" who acts like a caveman. Do better. Be better. Hell, "Be best"...whatever it takes to end this madness.

I don't think takes like this appreciate that X is not a town square but a platform owned and wholly controlled by the world's richest man. You had already lost before grok started making deep fakes!

Women’s Institute will no longer accept trans women as members from April

The cowardice of British civil society in the face of attacks from bigoted scum demonstrates more than anything that the UK is a failed state built on a failed society. #fascism is coming, and even our kids' orgs are bowing to it. #girlguiding www.girlguiding.org.uk/information-...
