London GLAM peeps! Would you be interested in a regular, informal meet up? Let's say, once a month after work at a venue in central London. No agenda, just a get together.

Oh no! Hopefully we'll bump into each other at the next event! It's been a great but exhausting day. Just trying to decide on a lazy ready meal to keep us going through day 2!

A time range written as 09:45–10:25. Before the en-dash, there are three dots indicating the positioning of a hairline space.

A time range written as 09:45–10:25. Before the en-dash, there are three dots indicating the positioning of a hairline space.

This here is what's called a hairline space. It is about 0.2mm wide and is one of 178 of them. This is the detail that goes into typesetting the Show Guide that nobody notices if you've done your job well. Enjoy the Show everyone! #mandhshow

Two bowls of Caesar salad, a glass of beer and a glass of Malibu and pineapple on a wicker table next to a pond. The sun is shining and the vegetables are colourful!

We have hit our target! The Vagina Museum is saved! This #WomensHistoryMonth, together we prevented the Vagina Museum from becoming a footnote in women's history. Instead, we made women's history. This community prevailed against overwhelming forces... in a single day. www.gofundme.com/f/btscc2

The Vagina Museum is a remarkable place full of people doing great work and it closing would be a real loss to us all. Please support if you can.

I was a founding trustee of the Vagina Museum back when a physical venue was still a dream ❀️

They’ve come so far & faced so many challenges along the way - can you help them weather the latest storm?

If you don’t have the ££, please still share far & wide πŸ‘‡πŸΌ

This is terrible news. Please join me in supporting the Vagina Museum and saving it from closure. Donate if you can. Spread the word if you can't. Big hugs to all this is affecting πŸ€—
