A Man Tells Me To Get Back In The Kitchen As though the kitchen is a small place, a place he believes should only fit women, he says the kitchen is where women stay out of trouble. But I remember the way women gathered in a kitchen, how grandmothers gave their daughters and granddaughters solace, the amount of women our mothers have carried through their brutal marriages around kitchen tables, the cadence of stories we have told each other as we build nourishing meals from mere ingredients - fierce fables and tales rooted in rage, how we plotted rebellions in kitchens, navigated painful secrets, taught each other politics, confided our fears, our sorrows, our anger - and found ways to help each other thrive. They relegated us to a "small space" but we made it magic, powerful, beautiful anyway. Get back in the kitchen, he says. Without realising, that in my home, the kitchen is where the revolution is. - Nikita Gill

Been writing again today.

Reject plans for a mandatory BritCard (digital ID) Sir Keir Starmer is considering a mandatory digital ID scheme called “BritCard” that would make us all reliant on a digital pass to go about our daily lives. Mandatory digital IDs give the state enor...

The Government has revealed plans for a new mandatory digital ID. It’s invasive and could mean millions of people unable to go about their daily lives. Right now it's just an idea - we need to stop it becoming a reality. Join me and sign the petition now! you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/re...

I don’t care for her, but I don’t think it’s ok to shame people for sex work 🤨

It’s plainly the spare key for the padlock on the shed🤨

Thanks for sharing

Life after death In the Ramtops Village they believe that no-one is finally dead until the ripples they cause in the world die away, until the clock he wound up winds down – until the wine she made has finished its ferment, until the crop they planted is harvested. The span of someone’s life, they say, is only the core of their actual existence. — Terry Pratchett

GNU Terry Pratchett. Our patron, whose wit, humanity, and imagination live on – in our memory, in the humanist values we share, and in his beautiful, wonderful, and beloved books.

On the contrary, not impressed and it had some really bad poetry in it😳

I want one 😁
