My husband was born in South Africa and became a British citizen 20 years ago. He is allowed to vote but would still be considered foreign born by Farage and his ilk.

More spring springing at Rising Sun #parkrun this morning. Happy with the run, improving on last week

The hope is from waking up to the by-election news this morning. And I know my kid won’t be bringing laundry (this time 🀣)

The only way I hope Charlotte represents the Conservative Party is that they lose deposit after deposit in seats up and down the country.

G&D and Caerphilly painting quite the picture about how the public really feel about Reform - despite much of the media’s desperate attempts to persuade us that a Farage premiership is inevitable come the next GE.

God, it’s nice to wake up to a bit of hope, isn’t it? Even better when it involves Goodwin losing.

What's being done to trans people, both in the US and here, is a practice run for every other minority group. That includes 'all women', by the way. Trans rights are human rights.

It was never about bathrooms or sports, and nothing will ever be enough for the GCs.

Nadiya Hussain on food, faith and finding her voice: β€˜I get paid less than the white version of me’ After a decade at the top, the Bake Off winner is reclaiming her career and refusing to soften her edges. She discusses racism, gaslighting – and why comfort food is more important than ever

I think she's brilliant and I love her approach to food. I we're seeing a media climate where compliance and neutrality are rewarded more than ever. So I hope, if she can bear it, she gets the support and opportunity to continue as a public figure

This is what I need cis folks to understand.

It's been a decade.

Imagine living TEN FUCKING YEARS watching as a blatant, artificial campaign to erase your personhood, your identity and your safety chugs along, increasing in power every single day, and most people don't care or dismiss it

Every Day He Eats the Book This week: my god I want Matt Goodwin to lose. Also: a new way of seeing the world; and some very old work on a very old bus.

Newsletter’s out early. Definitely not just because I pressed the wrong button or something. Anyway, concerning Matt Goodwin:

A sensitive request: I'm looking to speak *anonymously* to parents or trusted adults who have supported teenage children/relatives through early relationships that showed signs of coercive control or other forms of abuse.

I heard about this via the conspiracy theory too but honestly, having amenities in walking distance is a good thing and it is mental that some people are against it. My gp, dentist, library, local shop all in three minutes’ walk from my door, a supermarket 10 mins away. Why is this bad? Great ep.

The only thing fascinating about Kruger is why he is weirdly obsessed with other people’s sex lives. There is nothing fascinating about wanting to remove abortion rights.

Ski mountaineering in no way lives up to its name. I was hoping for some actual climbing. #WinterOlympics

Back to #parkrun this week, only one puddle but it was huge! Got to see the Sycamore Gap sapling our country park has been given, and the first signs of spring

I have once again come home from @waterstones.bsky.social with a book I already own πŸ™„ really need to find a way to catalogue everything I have. On the other hand, I can return it which is essentially a free new book next time #GirlMath #BookBuying
