‘Wouldn’t it make life easier?’: the growing campaign for pockets on women’s clothes
Centuries after men began carrying items in their clothes, women are still encumbered with bags. Now activists are changing that

A great article about the fight for women's clothes with pockets. Oh yeah, and I'm in it 😁

Just found out that a league as an imperial unit is about 3 miles. This makes 20,000 leagues under the the sea pretty good going considering the diameter of the Earth is only around 12,000km 😁

Was really happy to see @threeacresacow.bsky.social at the Crucible this evening. Some things you take for granted as being just the way things are, but seeing the history of enclosure, shows how recently we had common rights to land. Also a great crowd and some lovely communal singing 😁

'Girls need to carry things too!': How women's pockets became so controversial
Why do men's clothes have so many pockets, and women's so few? For centuries, the humble pocket has been a flashpoint in the gender divide of fashion. Is that finally set to change?

In Bruges last month there was a little kid who'd lost his parents on a tour, but as soon as he started with his anguished cries of “mummy!” the crowd mobilised. Some to comfort him, others to look for the parents. They were reunited in minutes. Most people are nice. It's hard to remember sometimes.

My 13-year-old just recently got some black skinny jeans from the women’s department because fellow emo kids told him that was the best place to find them, and, oh, the validation I felt when he complained about the teeny tiny pockets

Stop Burning Our Moors: Protect our kids, not grouse hunts.
Wealthy landowners are burning our moorlands for grouse shooting on the land. But the toxic smoke from this burning blows over surrounding communities and releases tonnes of carbon into the atmosphere...
