The problem is far bigger than Jeffrey Epstein | Rebecca Solnit Treating the scandal as an aberration misunderstands the global epidemic of violence against women

"One of the reasons the epidemic of violence against women is so unacknowledged is because cases like these are talked about individually, and often treated as though they are shocking aberrations rather than part of a pervasive pattern that operates at all levels of society."

I beg of you, nonfiction writers, breathe life into your prose! Ignore the professor in your brain that's always ready to mark something as too colloquial. Make it read like something written by an actual human you might want to talk to at a party!

New research reveals the 30 critiques holding women back from leadership that most men will never hear Researchers reveal the characteristics that cause women to be overlooked for leadership roles.

Reminded of this today.

We found, there’s always a reason why women are β€œnever quite right” for leadership roles".

Something to remember when trying to conform to views on leadership, ladies. People are going to judge you anyway. So be bold/ stick to your values

A red wall covered in blue and grey graffiti. In the foreground there is a black sketch of a glaring face and the text: β€˜EVERY MAN DIES NOT EVERY MAN LIVES’. There are also the words β€˜NECK FACE’ and β€˜SCOTLAND 21’ in black below.

As part of our ongoing exploration into β€˜liveability’, we’ve asked our #DiscoveringLiveability team to keep an eye out for any images that they think speak to liveability in some way. First up, this graffiti artwork was spotted on the streets of Edinburgh by one of our team members last month πŸ“Έ

Okay - I’ve seen Nosferatu! I enjoyed it more than I’d expected. I’ll do two separate responses: one about the Romani rep, and the other more general and in terms of adaptation. So let’s start with the Roma question. The actors were nonprofessional Roma actors 1/

I say this to all my male followers with love in the same way I do with my family and friends - have those uncomfortable conversations with the men in your life. Don’t allow the casual misogyny in conversations. Challenge abusive behaviour. Do the work. It’s on you. It always has been.

reading about the Pelicot case always fills me with misandrist rage anyway but christ I could do with fewer men posting "wow, to think men can do that :(" today and more men actually challenging other guys in their-day-to-day lives, having the uncomfortable chats, stepping in when needed, etc etc

Stage Blood: Vampires of the 19th Century Stage by Roxana Stuart is great! Also a chapter by Jan McDonald called The Devil is Beautiful - Dracula: Freudian Novel and Feminist Drama 😊 I have a pdf copy of that if you can’t find it anywhere!

"The problem is the feeling of working on something bad is completely indistinguishable from the feeling of working on something difficult."
