- ‘Women being told not to go out alone’. How about men have to go out in pairs in case one of them feels they might do a crime
- If you’re tempted to write #notallmen, let’s hear all the wonderful work you do. The campaigns you started, the talks you do in schools, the weekly meet ups to discuss male violence. Because right now it sounds like you want a prize for never raping someone in a park

- Can I say it? The words in Wordle have been shit since it went to the New York Times?
- Replying to @TessaCoates- and THEN while I’m trying to ride it out, Elon Musk gets involved and tweets ‘everyone buy a coat’, and now coats are so precious they now cost £1000! And I don’t just owe you a coat, I’ve been running the coat racket for years and I owe so many people coats -
