We know there has been a lot of discussion about sexual violence and abuse in the media today, which could be triggering for victims and survivors. If you’re impacted by anything you read or watch today, we are here for you. rapecrisis.org.uk/get-help/

A gentle reminder that when you go to work tomorrow, you will most likely be in contact with a #survivor of #rape or #sexual #assault. #SexualViolence is #prolific and news like yesterday's can be triggering. rapecrisis.org.uk/get-informed/s…

6 just told me he thinks life is harder for girls than it is for boys. I internally congratulated myself on my highly effective child-rearing techniques. He then said, 'because girls need to use the toilet seat for both poo and wee, but boys don't.' #YouWinSome

Amazing work by my colleague Dr Jas Sangha I love to hear what students at ARU have to contribute to this discussion... wondering if I might get an invite to the classes again this year, Jas? 🤞🙏 #antiracism #RuskinModules #TEFGold

Sharing this brilliance by Donna Ashworth Apparently, it was #WorldMenopauseDay this week, but whether you're menopausal or not, this poem portrays so much of the hidden struggle that women carry, and the #fury that it invokes. #misogyny #Patriarchy #Smash

Emails from #HelenaMacNamara exemplifying the extent of deference that women portray in attempts to get the right thing done. Evidently, Simon's (no doubt compulsory) #EDI training programme didn't have the desired effect. #TheHoopsWeHaveToJump #JustListenToWomen #ButNotSuella

'Mothers are still dealing with the consequences of the decisions made at this time. [...] We need more mothers in power, we need more policies that protect and reflect mothers. And we will not settle for less.' graziadaily.co.uk/life/parenting…

Awoken early by 7 who'd had a horrible nightmare that I had been killed by a man/monster. He was almost hyperventilating. We cuddled until he calmed down while I reassured him it was just a dream. For my family, it was just a dream. #Palestine #CeasefireForGaza

And just like that, it's all worth it. Happy new year to you all! I hope your #2024 is filled with pink post-it notes like this one 💗

20 likes on a comment I left on a post by @damien_page who was raising awareness about loneliness in HE. I wrote this response because #bullying and #loneliness go hand-in-hand. No surprise that the majority of those 20 likes are from women. #WeMustTryHarder

Last day of leave today. The only way to spend it is at the beach with my children and a book. Look at that sky! #SpanishLife

Despite being the only person in contact and chasing our estate agent for several weeks with phone calls, emails etc., the paperwork has finally come through, addressed to MY HUSBAND! They only thought to share with me when I chased! 🤬 #Sexism #TheStruggleIsReal

My dad, brother and I visited my mum (who has #Alzheimers) yesterday. 2 of her commentary highlights: 1- To my brother (in front of my dad): You're a real... man, you are! 2- To me: you are my kind of person, just beautiful. You have to find the joy ❤

2 brilliant fathers (Dad and brother) on Fathers' day, 2024. This is the best shot I could get of Mr Potts senior, despite multiple attempts asking to 'fit your face in the little box so we can see you'! #LuckyMe

Love this from @damien_page I recently saw a video of a woman whose father encouraged her and her siblings to fail. He would sometimes ask "what did you fail at today?", and then gush over their stories. This is how we learn. In fact, #Failure is the innovation incubator.
