I can attest that this book fuckin shreds

How to Clean Up Our Water: Why Public Ownership in Law Costs Zero The Government has said it would cost £99 billion to nationalise Thames Water. The true cost in law is closer to zero.

it is so devastating and big ups to all volunteers who are literally cleaning up a mess caused by the private sector.
Great piece from @cmmonwealth.bsky.social here

‘Environmental catastrophe’ fears as millions of plastic beads wash up on Camber Sands MP asks for explanation from Southern Water amid concerns the spill could have dire impact on rare sea life

www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

What will it take for this government to nationalise water?
Rather than just spout (faulty and biased sums) about how it's too expensive?

Because this is likely caused by privately owned Southern Water, who deliberately dumped raw sewage into seas for years. 💩

The beloved Saleh Al-Jafarawi has been murdered. We are absolutely devastated. For 2 years he reported on the genocide of his people, just for him to be murdered during the ‘ceasefire’

ah date night!

Got my book draft into my editor @melvillehouse.bsky.social earlier this week. My bf captured the moment perfectly 💕

HISTORIANS! do you manage to do your footnotes as you go? if so, what's the secret? I find it interrupts my flow so much...

I've been writing about Phyllis Schlafly and right-wing women vs Shere Hite and found this superb!

I'm hoping for some discussion of Schlafly's self-help book, 'the power of the positive woman' in part 2.

@moiradonegan.bsky.social & @adriandaub.bsky.social

So good!

congrats! and lovely to see you on here. It's been an age! xx

Out now!
In this book I explore struggles for reproductive rights & liberty in postwar France - telling a different story about the era of sexual liberalisation & legal reform, avoiding a celebratory narrative but looking at persisting injustices and inequalities.

thank you!

I have an amazing osteo if you were looking for a recommendation! She is v knowledgeable about anatomy and trustworthy! She also studies the bible from a Christian, feminist perspective. So you can learn about maligned female saints while your back gets fixed 👌

thank you Erin! me too, and a little tired. Did The Hite Report mean a lot to you?

Thank you so much Rachel. I really hope so!

It was so big in Melbourne that you could not physically exit the Melbourne central mall onto the street

2/2 Then, feminists focus on women's powerlessness has resulted in men now being more oppressed than women. imo he is key to manosphere idea that the world is now stacked in feminist and women's favour.

1/2 the trajectory was focus on 'sex roles.' In his first work Farrell discusses how male sex role oppresses women but men too pay a high price (true!) but later it becomes just 'sex role' focussed, men are as oppressed as women. memorably: 'women are sex objects, men success objects.' (!?)

from Warren Farrell's The Liberated Man (1974!!) Makes it even sadder and more disappointing that Farrell descends into men's rights activism...

amazing that the anti-sexist men's movement propose gender-neutral pronouns (te/tir) & attaché as alternative to husband/wife.

As someone who likes a smart briefcase I could get on board!

Thanks Ruth!

Thank you so much Anna! Let’s be in touch soon. Hopefully my book will be out here too. Xx

Very exciting book news from Rosa Campbell, one-time editorial fellow at History Workshop 📖 👀

Thanks Amy. It will be available in Aus/UK soon too 🤞🏻! What did the book mean to you?

Yes! I really like what Sophie Smith says about forgotten women, that it’s not just a process of natural memory loss but always political.

My book is available for preorder @melvillehouse.bsky.social!

It’s about The Hite Report—the 50M-copy feminist sexology bestseller—its wild, visionary author Shere Hite and culture wars then and now. Out April '26!
