Is anyone else doing the rounds of secondary school open days? Wondering if “they let you play footy on the astroturf at lunch time” is a reasonable criteria for first choice school? At this moment it’s as good as any I can come up with. #parenting #secondaryschool

Wow, feminism has really won… six women go on an eleven minute trip to space in a penis shaped rocket.

On the train heading to Nottingham, the woman opposite me smiled at me, the woman serving coffee stopped for a chat. I always feel like I’m heading in the right direction going this way up the country.

Not Very Poor, Powerless or Pregnant: The African Woman Forgotten by Development - CORE Reader
My heart is full of Everjoice Win today, who has sadly died. She was an unparalleled commentator and women’s rights activist, a fierce defender of secular, feminist spaces, and aunt to my son. Here’s my fave of her writing - still as relevant today. Rest in power sister 💜 core.ac.uk/reader/43539...

Every IWD I have the same tantrum! There is no “theme”! A PR company that has nothing to do with the feminist movement makes it up! The “theme” website is run by Aurora Ventures! I’m sure they’re perfectly nice but they have nothing to do with feminist socialist grassroots movements!!!

ActionAid shocked by reckless decision to raid ODA budget
ActionAid's response to the cuts to the Official Development Assistance funding.
“We are profoundly shocked and disappointed that the government has made the reckless decision to raid the already diminished ODA budget—reducing it to less than half of our legal obligation."

‘Epidemic’ of violence against women and girls in UK is getting worse – report
National Audit Office says government attempts to tackle misogynistic violence are hampered by poor coordination
Reading NAO report & brilliant @lexytopping.bsky.social
Discovered that "the Home Office underspent on its own VAWG budget by an average of 15% between 2021-22 and 2023-24".
Utterly bewildering and rage-making when the whole VAWG sector is on its knees.

The gender pay gap for writers stands at 36%, compared to the national average of 13%.
Let's dwell on that for a minute.
Female authors are paid 36% LESS than their male counterparts. Their time, expertise, skill and creativity is valued at a third less than that of men.
