In this book I explore struggles for reproductive rights & liberty in postwar France - telling a different story about the era of sexual liberalisation & legal reform, avoiding a celebratory narrative but looking at persisting injustices and inequalities.

I haven't seen any update on here yet, but the news on fbk is that @scotgov has withdrawn #flamingoland plans!

Result!! Thanks to everyone who campaigned.

Loch Lomond and the Trossachs are a haven, a slice of gorgeous lush rainforest. Keep your hands off it.

An injury to one is an injury to all.

Powerful, uplifting rally in Glasgow today organized by the trade unions for international workers' day. Drawing connections between workers' rights here and around the world, and between socio-econ justice, human rights and the fight against war & genocide.
