Here's a question for journalists everywhere. A famous woman died yesterday at the age of 91 and the newspaper front pages today are plastered with pictures of her from 60 tears before with "sex kitten" headlines.
It's as if her worth was only that of being young and pretty 🤷♀️
Misogyny much?

Don't think I've spoken to a single artist who didn't struggle this Christmas, and I spoke to a lot, so even if it's not my work I'd really encourage people to try to support a local artist that you like instead of big corporations - every single sale makes a real, tangible difference to their life.
If, like me, you did NOT get the ONE thing you wanted from Santy (a 95-year-old bachelor farmer with plenty land and a bad cough), treat yourself to a print from an Irish doodler instead - big discounts across the shop, including on bundles, so go on. Go on go on go ON.

William F. Semple, a dentist from Mount Vernon, Ohio, filed an early patent on chewing gum, patent number 98,304, #OTD in 1869. Semple's gum was intended to clean the teeth and strengthen the chewer's jaw. It was not a sweet treat; ingredients included chalk and powdered licorice root.

I can’t get over how one directional Instagram feels…
I liked old Twitter & now BlueSky because they feel like local pubs you go into and join chats with old mates and new. Instagram feels like you are walking into the backstage at a theatre where everyone is practicing their monologues.
