R to @jk_rowling: Anyway, I suppose I should now go and put on my wellies, or at least change out of my pyjamas. Thank you for letting me share this moment of euphoria, which I don't intend to damage by doing any re-reading until tomorrow, and I hope you're having as good a day as I am ✍️💫

This made me laugh! I'm afraid I subscribe to Nabokov's dictum about sharing first drafts. 'It's like passing around samples of sputum.'

RT by @jk_rowling: A video sent from #Tehran. Iranians are burning the billboard of #Soleimani, butcher of Syrian, Iraqi and Iranians kids.

The Islamist regime tried very hard to cast Soleimani as a hero. But Iranians consider him a murderer, not a hero.

RT by @jk_rowling: 470 days since the Taliban BANNED teenage girls from school and 13 days since the Taliban BANNED women from university.

The women of Afghanistan have lost everything. This is gender apartheid. Plain and simple. We must speak up.

R to @Remussed: I realised I'd done that one before (or very similar), so thought @CormStrikeFan deserved something NEW!

R to @DreyfusJames: 'It's not fair, he's LOADS bigger than me, and I only ran up to him and kicked him in the balls.' If you want Queensberry rules, you need to keep inside the ring, and if you want kudos without consequences, pick on a lower weight category.🤷‍♀️

R to @BipolarRunner: I wouldn't got that far 😉 But you send one of mine to the hospital, expect a trip to casualty yourself.

R to @ElleMcIvor: But I'm guessing you're not threatening them with death or a, or posting faked 'evidence' of what they've said or done. In other words, you're still in the ring.

R to @LindsayMLand: Yarrow stalks are the proper way to do it. Coins are for amateurs 😉

R to @LindsayMLand: Those are indeed the coins people can use, but you haven't done it properly until you've learned to use the yarrow stalks!

RT by @jk_rowling: My grandmother had the right to get an abortion, to female only spaces, and did not feel any social pressure to use a rapist’s preferred pronouns. For some reason 60+ years later, I do not have any of these.
