Just been made aware of Haiti's winter Olympics get-up.

That skirt looks warm, has good pockets, and has a massive horse on it. DING DING DING.

You know, I might make one of these for the @togetheralliance.bsky.social march on 28/3. Except mine will say

'Daughter of an immigrant'
I don't often wear political t-shirts, but I'm proudly sporting this one today.

I'm an immigrant.

I teach American (and international!) college students, research the U.S. economy, consult with policymakers, write books, raise my kids, pay taxes, and try to make this a better place.

I'm so so glad that (a) I am a post menopausal woman and that (b) this algorithm has not found me ☹️
Can you scoop out your period all at once? Should you? No, and regardless of what Reddit and TikTok tell you, absolutely NOT. Please don't do that. Here's a quick fact check on a misinformation-riddled viral trend...

I see the carpark at slapton has been washed away, I wonder if it will be repaired in time for the last weekend in April. We always go to the Operation Tiger memorial service ☹️

Really WTF?!!
According to Tom Bower, in his book Gordon Brown: Prime Minister, Mandelson "frequently screamed" down his mobile to Brown: "I love you, but I can destroy you."

this stuff reads somewhat differently in light of recent events

What's the matter with these entitled twats?

First day back after a rather pathetic Winter of Not Working.

Dear lord, the dramarama!!

Thank you to the people who commented on my last posts, I did reply and it's clear my very pro-choice views would be an outlier amongst catholics but I have made my point and I am glad that I did. I feel empowered for doing so.

I have joined my convent school girls reunion WhatsApp group. I have felt on edge for days since I didn't have the happiest of schooldays - you know how nasty girls can be - I wasn't the prettiest or the cleverest or sporty. And my parents were not well off.

I did feel very much on the outside

I have two little great nephews Liam's age, and this story has upset me greatly. I am glad he is home with his hat and rucksack.
Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

See also, men generally ☹️
It's hard to face and it's bleak, but the Epstein revelations shine a sudden, stark light on what many powerful men will do when they think no-one can touch them.

Oh I say! Kingy went to support Sandringham parkrun! I didn't think that I would warm to him, having had HMQ as my Boss for 23 years but he has grown on me

What a delightful #parkrun this morning. No wind, the wintery sun peaking out from the clouds. And lots of people as so many in south Devon had to cancel this morning. As I plodded around behind a chirpy 7yo and a chap with a buggy I felt that all was right with the world.

Ah Sir Terry Wogan left us 10 years ago.

Time flies like an error, fruit flies like a banana.

Crikey it's cold! Bit of a shock to the system I must say!

Yes 💯
"The real threat to women has never been trans women seeking to live their lives with dignity. The real threat remains what it has always been: a culture that enables male violence and then blames everyone except the men who perpetrate it."

Read the whole of this terrific letter. I've signed it.

Some reasons to feel positive today. Well done to all those women who push back on legal challenges, and push through resolutions

It's been a lovely two week cruise, some warm weather, some lumpy seas, food cooked, washing up and bed made by someone else 🥰 but yay, on my way home to Devon and #parkrun tomorrow.

I am so looking forward to this - marching with my abortion rights crew. It's going to be very empowering

Our local RNLI are warning of 15 foot winter swell waves on Friday.

What's the bet idiot people are on the prom to get the vibes 🙄🙄🙄🙄

Oh marvellous news
I have met many women who use the pool and hoped this would be the result - enjoy your swim

Last port of call for this cruise - Lanzarote. Got my 10k steps along the mole to this fort and a lighthouse.

I have earned enough steps for my scones this afternoon 🥰

Wow, I think I shall just pop down to his office and see if he would like to say that to my face
Reform UK Councillor Mick Cockerham of Newton Abbot South is showing, through this sick statement, what British values mean to Reform politicians. #UKPolitics
