- 'Emma Thompson's #Matilda fat suit is yet another reminder of how badly plus size people are treated by society,' argues @emmieehw 🧵
- 'Kanye West's eccentricities have always defined him, but his latest attack on Pete Davidson has gone way too far,' argues @theothercoogan 🧵trib.al/EPVrnJQ
- Owami Davies went missing on the streets of south London in early July. The 24-year-old student nurse vanished without a trace – so why aren’t we hearing more about this tragic and terrifying case?, asks Natalie Morris. 🧵
- Replying to @MetroOpinion'West's insistence on inserting himself into the private matters of a relationship he has no involvement in (no matter how much he may think he does) is typical of the artist, who treats every interaction as though he is the main character.'
- Replying to @MetroOpinion'Of course - how else would the film industry portray an antagonist, who is evil, ugly and has a nasty disposition, than with a slim actress in a grotesque fat suit?'
- 'I loved #Heartstopper, but for the LGBTQ+ generation that came before it, there's a sadness we couldn't experience the romance the show highlights.' @babbedout 🧵
- Replying to @MetroOpinion'When I saw actress Emma Thompson in a fat suit, the shame of being picked last in P.E. suddenly came flooding back. 'For Matilda, Thompson has been pictured reportedly wearing a fat suit for her role as the fictional headmistress, Agatha Trunchbull.'
- 'Prince Louis' behaviour at the Jubilee wasn't revolting, it was the actions of a normal toddler that every parent would recognise,' writes @sarahw0684 🧵 trib.al/xI637Ta
- 'Taxi drivers took animals before they took us.' Indian Student Mohammad on the racism and violence he suffered while trying to flee Ukraine. 🧵
- Replying to @MetroOpinion'To say that Kanye West is no stranger to controversy might be an understatement, but he may still have caused some shock with his latest Instagram post. 'The image, since deleted, depicted a photoshopped newspaper bearing the headline ‘Skete Davidson Dead At Age 28.''
- ‘My child has a condition that can put pressure on his brain, and with head circumference a key sign of it, I want everyone to regularly measure their baby,’ says Caroline Thwaites. 🧵
- Replying to @MetroOpinion'As a bigger woman, I find this caricaturization of my body type utterly dehumanising, and degrading. 'It’s not ethical, authentic or representative of any lived experiences whatsoever.'
- ‘Bullying Eddie Izzard over her gender is not a feminist act; it’s transphobic abuse that also detracts from the real dangers women face,’ writes @nicolathorp_ 🧵
