RT @SamuelVimes10: Do not do this. It is not safe AT ALL. You can have your partner place their hand there with gentle pressure, if that's your thing, but if you enjoy lack of oxygen to the brain, and don't want to die, maybe just follow Owen Jones ...

Good spot! Pride co-chair in the dreadful @thecourieruk article accidentally makes our case! https://t.co/6dCAyG...
We are disgusted that @thecourieruk chose to illustrate an article wholly unrelated to our group or our campaigns with this photo. Also that we, and other feminist orgs, were smeared in the text. The journalist failed to contact us: something, I ...
