I think the explanation for this is a scepticism towards the kneejerk adoption of what look like progressive policies that are actually harmful. It’s recognition of the unintended consequences of the politics of Just Be Kind
So being gender critical seems to mean you are also against assisted dying.
I'll work that one out later.

Just survived a birthday party with 20 kids aged from 2-8. Hungover. Really feel I deserve some kind of award

I’m so devastated at the loss of Debbie so young, and so soon after retirement. Her influence on British feminist thinking was enormous. She was brilliant fun and an excellent friend. Proud to have known her.

Had to keep both kids off school for different unrelated ailments, so naturally both of them are absolutely right as rain, on the best form of their lives and demanding snacks every five minutes

How long do I have to keep going to the gym before I stop feeling like an imposter who is about to be found out and ritually humiliated?

Last week's comic. I'm new to The Traitors and predictably loved every minute of it
![1
CLAUDIA WINKLEMAN [entering the breakfast room]:
Good morning everyone
2
CW:
Today’s mission is the hardest one yet:
3
CW:
Having absolutely *no chill whatsoever*.
4
[Various of the Contestants doing their best ‘disproportionate reaction’ faces]:
Oh my god
Oh my god
Oh my god
5
JADE:
*HAUNTED SIDEYE*
6
AMANDA [shaking head, saying out loud]:
Inappropriately solemn reaction shot
7
[In the car en route to the Mission, spotting a few props set up in the woods];
JESSIE:
OH MI GOOOOD
8
JESSIE:
What is THAAAAT
[unseen contestant responding off-frame]:
It’s some props in a wood
9
ROXY [in the middle of doing a silly task in the sunny countryside]:
WE’VE GOT TO DO AN ESSENTIALLY UNDEMANDING TASK IN THE PLEASANT COUNTRYSIIIDE
10
REECE [crying, being comforted by solemn contestants]:
I’m just feeling sad about the silly parlour game
11
MATTHEW [stern face, hand up in the roundtable like he’s a lawyer striking the killer blow]:
Can I just get some clarification on what you meant by… ‘Good morning’?
12
RACHEL [in the staring-murderously-to-camera bit]
I can’t believe he said “Good morning”

Possibly my favourite ever season of the Traitors. Such a surprising and actually quite heartwarming result, and the most deserving winners. So lovely to see Rachel and Stephen be faithful to each other to clean up in the final

I’ve got two kids. I’ve just paid their holiday club for a total of six days worth of childcare over the summer holidays. Guess how much that cost?

Would just like to say a big thank you and fuck you to my kids’ school for making tomorrow - in the last week of term, when I’ve spent the month crawling through assemblies and sports days and end of year performances - Dress Like An Ancient Egyptian Day

Booked tickets for an event on @ticketmaster.com. The event was cancelled. Ticketmaster refunded me the cost of the tickets but kept the £4.25 booking fee. Is it just me or is that some absolute bullshit?
