Just learned about the charity @endsexisminschools.bsky.social who do research on the sexism that is apparently STILL a feature of the curriculum because so many schools choose to teach the same male-dominated books & history. The official lists have alternatives, but they don't get chosen. [1/2]

It’s striking to see bipartisan moves in the US Congress to block President Trump from seizing control of Greenland.

But our government is not being realistic about the nature of the Trump regime, still talking of "close partner and ally".

The government wants to give police new powers to ban protests if they're taking place in the same area as previous protests. Creating change and holding those in power to account often requires repeated protests. That's why we're standing with civil society groups to oppose this move.✊ foe.uk/331zq

An index of sexism. As a general rule, the more misogynistic a society, the lower the female labour income share. As you can see, misogyny is everywhere.

The misuse of the AI tool, Grok, to degrade and humiliate women is unacceptable. This was predictable, preventable, and enabled by platforms that chose speed and profit over women’s safety and dignity. We will keep scrutinising the development of AI and how it is misused to inflict harm on women.

Disappointingly more female representation and perspective was not explicitly mentioned in the report for History or any other subject.

The Historian sets out how she’d fix this.
