I’m in India on holiday and it’s astonishingly wonderful. We’ve had loads of people asking to take photos with us 🤷♀️ but the best bit was a group of girls on a school trip. I heard this voice behind me, “Aunty?” I turned round and they were all excited and giggly and were overjoyed to talk to me…

Exclusive: Reducing rate of misogynistic killings is key to halving violence against women and girls, says Jess Phillips

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: possibly the most underreported story on earth is how Elon Musk, who not just the richest man on the planet but also puppeteering the US government, is actively talking to and promoting completely unabashed Nazis through his personal media platform

A tale of two elves.
There is a queue in the shopping mall to meet Santa. There are two elves keeping children entertained. One is clearly a drama student and treating each child like their parents might be a producer for Cbeebies. The other has clearly been forced into it. 🤣
