Last week I talked to such a brilliant business owner about her experience of PTSD after her premature baby was in the NICU and how she's using her experience to help parents in her position - thanks so much Lorna and Super Dinky ✨
Lorna Tallowin developed her company Super Dinky to bring ‘joy’ to parents of premature babies after her own ‘terrifying’ experience.

really fucking heartbroken about teen vogue and solidarity to all my colleagues there
November 3, 2025 at 7:59 PM
horrible news and a huge loss, teen vogue was amazing on politics
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

Yknow i think they shouldnt be allowed to revoke his titles cause the fact a prince can be a horrible person is why you shouldnt have a monarchy innit. What you mean “punishment“? He shouldnt have had a title to begin with this is about protecting the crown
Prince Andrew no longer being a Prince isn't the Daily Mail's main front page story today...

Wikipedia vs Elon Musk

In a world of algorithms and AI slop, the simple joy of aimlessly wandering through a website of ideas is worth preserving.

so much of this is so fucked up but the "never paid a penny in tax" part is just nonsensical, especially when you factor in the fact that a person on ILR has usually paid *thousands* in visa fees to get to that point
Here Lam explicitly sets out her proposal - which is official Conservative Party policy - to deport long-standing legal permanent residents who have *ever* claimed any benefit, including the state pension or child benefit (even if the child is British), or who earn less than £39K.

I've spent a few months working on a series of articles on abortion rights in the UK. The first piece is out today.

Abortion is a step closer to decriminalisation in England and Wales, but with the rise of right-wing rhetoric, are rights still at risk?

Abortion is close to decriminalisation. But how quickly can rights be rolled back?
More than 100 women are believed to have been arrested on suspicion of abortion over the last five years in England and Wales.

It’s easy to say that this is the last desperate hurrah of a dying party, but can we be clear: Trump’s ICE agents are literally kidnapping people, detaining them without due process in concentration camps (yes, this is the right term) and 1000s have disappeared. These are fascist practices.
