The scandal of women handcuffed while in labour: ‘I was so shocked when the restraints weren’t removed’
Pregnant women prisoners are being handcuffed to prison officers – often male – during intimate vaginal examinations and long, agonising births. Will this dehumanising treatment be stopped?

Social media created this nonsense idea that not exposing yourself to hatred is isolationist. Choosing to not spend your free time with bigots isn’t living in a bubble. I don’t need to know what’s going on at X. I won’t be smarter or more knowledgeable or empathic by being there. Neither will you.

Good morning, BlueSky fam! 🦋 I think I can actually remember what day it is today after a chaotic couple of weeks. Here’s a friendly reminder: if you’re feeling stressed about what’s going on in the world, getting involved in your own community is a great way to relieve that and make a difference

Public Libraries can be wonderful places where children and adults can find books that they can see themselves reflected in, no matter who they are, and books that can introduce them to entire other lived experiences. Both are so valuable!
