As an IR professor, it's depressing that this is outperforming all others as the best theory of US foreign policy

SUCH a great thread. My grandmother didn’t get paid to work after she married, but she married a clergyman. Everyone knew that was a twofer. She worked full time unpaid in the parish as the minister’s wife (and mother of four).

My other grandmother bred horses and ran the dairy.

Who said advocating for women’s rights in Belfast was all work and no play? Concert, pub crawl, birthday run by the Lagan

It's International Women's Day this weekend. Afghan women & girls' rights are crushed like never before.

So I'm in Belfast to speak up with them through events curated by my amazing comrades @beyondskin.bsky.social

I've had a very hard year β€” this reminds me of who I am and what actually matters.

If I was @zackpolanski.bsky.social, I would be pointing out to the BBC that whatever model they use to justify giving Farage & his boot-lickers season tickets for every BBC show under the sun must surely now treat Green Party politicians in exactly the same way. Might even be one for the lawyers...

A Day in the Life of an Ensh*ttificator

Still giggling at this hilarious video from the Norwegian Consumer Council "A Day in the Life of an Ensh*ttificator" which seems a perfect embodiment of Silicon Valley and tech generally these days

PinkNews launches survey on impacts of the Supreme Court's gender ruling LGBTQ+ news publisher PinkNews has launched a survey focused on the impacts of the UK Supreme Court's gender ruling.

"The online survey will run from Monday, 2 March to Monday, 30 March 2026 and aims to gain an insight into demographic data, the single-sex spaces people have been questioned for using and the wider effects of the ruling on people’s day-to-day lives."
