Why have I read this to the tune of ‘We didn’t start the fire’? 🤣🤣🤣

Afghan women and girls protested in Quetta for their rights, education, freedom, and dignity. They say: “We are imprisoned. We are banned from education, silenced, and abandoned. No one hears us.” Ahead of 15 August, the Black Day when Afghanistan lost its freedom, they called on the international community and organisations to stand with Afghan women and girls. Their rights are still being taken away. Their voices must be heard. 🇦🇫 #LetAfghanGirlsLearn #EndGenderApartheid

Love this ❤️ #AlleyCats

Thanks so much, John. That means quite a lot from the creator of the greatest British sitcom of all time ♥️

Brilliant Really, really funny🐱

The Ricky Gervaise CATS animation is quite wonderful

What exactly did you do to deserve this? You spent years insisting that “trans women are women,” that biological sex is a spectrum or a social construct, and that anyone who notices male performance advantages is a bigot. You told us self-identification was enough. You demanded that women’s categories, scholarships, locker rooms, and sports be opened on the basis of identity alone. Now a man is doing exactly what your rules allow—entering a women’s draft—and you’re shocked that someone is using the loophole you created. This isn’t random mockery. It’s the predictable result of rewriting material reality to fit feelings. You engineered the premise. The punchline was always going to arrive.

I think it’s safe that Bruiser is in love! I think the puffiness is going down. I’m pretty sure. It doesn’t feel terrible.

Josh Bennett, a 13-year-old, was beaten up by a group of kids because he refused to give them his new Champions League football.** Five of them punched and kicked him, took the ball, and ran off. The whole ordeal left him too afraid to leave the house. But, in a wonderful turn of events, Josh has now received thousands of messages of love and support from people and athletes all over the world. Hundreds of people have offered to buy him a new football, he’s been sent signed shirts and medals and has even been offered some professional football training. Josh was also asked to be a match-day mascot for Swansea City over the weekend - and scored penalties alongside the team at halftime. After seeing so many acts of kindness, Josh told his mum: “The bullies haven’t won!” Credit: WalesOnline

If you watch Alley Cats and you get offended at any point, just remember that 1, It’s just a cartoon about cats, and 2, you’re an adult, and can take it 😂

Happy #InternationalCatDay ❤️ Cats are amazing and beautiful creatures. There are so many that are unwanted and in rescue centres now. Save one. And they might save you. #AlleyCats

Heartbroken💔: A nursing and midwifery educator in Kandahar once earned an advanced degree from Aga Khan University. She spent nine years training future healthcare professionals. Today, she polishes men’s shoes to survive. This is Afghanistan for women and girls: qualified women are denied work, education, and opportunities. She says recruitment exams in Kandahar are only a show, with women excluded. This is the devastating cost of denying women their basic rights. #LetAfghanGirlsLearn #EndGenderApartheid #UN

I know this sounds crazy, but bear with me. How about we agree, as a society, that if watching women breastfeed, or pretending to breastfeed yourself, gives you a boner, you are the last fucking person who should be in the breastfeeding support group.

I definitely think Bruiser is looking better!! He is the most wonderful cat in the whole world. I love him so very much!!

Urgent: Iranian kickboxer is going to be hanged very soon after supreme court ruling! I beg everyone: listen to his brother’s voice in this video and help us stop the Islamic Republic from executing him. Benyamin Naghdi, is only 26-year-old, and he is a champion from Shiraz. His brother says Benyamin wanted only one thing: a free Iran. He also says that for every person the Islamic Republic kills, others will rise to continue their path. The regime wants these voices to disappear. It wants to silence Benyamin forever. Please be his voice. Be his family’s voice. Before it’s too late. Call your leaders to demand Islamic Republic to stop killing him. #SaveBenyamin #StopExecutionsInIran

We did it we won 🙌🏻 they have decided to exempt rapist and child abusers from the early release scheme 🙌🏻🙌🏻 The last month or so our lives have been turned upside down it’s been both overwhelming and tiring but it’s been worth it knowing some of the most dangerous offenders will not walk our streets early …. We didn’t give up and got the result we deserve although this should have never have happened ! Us survivors are a force to be reckoned with even more so when we stand together ❤️❤️❤️

Today they buried him... And the world's media, the college campuses, no one is talking about the war this regime waged against us Iranian people. Every single day, the Islamic Republic executes another protester. Every single day, another family is shattered… 💔😔

Today, Iranian regime hanged him in secret in Shahroud، no warning, no farewell. His family was told to come at 3am to collect his body. Arvin Kheirkhah was 20 years old. This is his last words to his family: "Don't let me be forgotten. Don't let the path we walked go silent." 💔

🚨BREAKING NEWS: Fariba, a 16-year-old Afghan girl, has reportedly died by suicide after waiting for schools in Afghanistan to reopen. According to reports, she continued asking her teachers when she would be able to wear her school uniform again. In the note she reportedly left behind, she wrote that life had become unbearable for girls in Afghanistan. For nearly five years, I have shared heartbreaking stories like this. Fariba is not the first, and sadly, she may not be the last. Through my own work, I remain in contact with girls inside Afghanistan and support some of them to continue their education. I hear their fear, hopelessness, and despair almost every day. In 2022, one teenage girl told me: “I don’t want to live anymore. There is no school, no hope, and my family wants to force me into marriage. I am under 18.” Those words have never left me. Where are the United Nations, the international community, and the human rights organizations? Every day that Afghan girls are denied their right to education, freedom, another future is put at risk. Fariba must not become another forgotten name. #LetAfghanGirlsLearn #JusticeForFariba #UN
