'Better Wisdom than Weapons of War' Cambridge Alumnae Suffrage Banner (1908) designed by UK artist Mary Lowndes. Handmade from silk, velvet, with embroidery and silver paint, the huge banner was carried by a Cambridge contingent of 400 women in the great suffrage procession, 1908 #WomensArt

I feel like I owe #HarryStyles a huge apology - I only gave his latest 2 albums a cursory listen because I loved his debut too much, but now I've doubled back to them I have to say, what a beautiful collection of songs. This one really got me today 😢

Just came here to blow the dust off this account & it seems I've been put on some sort of snowflake-ish naughty list for existing & following other accounts like me. Oh well. I guess I'll just keep looking for other sensible, well adjusted people like me to follow then. 😂

It's rainy outside...
The wind is rattling through the bins...
Get under a duvet...

As a man, I find the term #VAWG problematic when really we all know we are talking about #MVAWG (Male Violence Against Women & Girls)

#TheSilentM is a problem, IMO

Too many ‘M_ _’ are silent

We should speak the ‘M’

I would like to make it clear that I am not representing For Women Scotland in next week's Supreme Court hearing. I appear to be blocked by India on here @indiawilloughby.bsky.social and Twitter, otherwise I would have asked directly for this misinformation to be corrected.

On Tuesday, the UK Supreme Court will consider the definition of a woman. My preview of this groundbreaking case in the Scotsman www.scotsman.com/news/opinion...

Queen of Hearts,1909 by Margaret Macdonald, one of the defining artists of the Glasgow School

I've done a quick round-up of pre-reading for anyone interested in following FWS v Scottish Ministers next week: www.legalfeminist.org.uk/2024/11/23/f...

I haven't been able to find any substantial commentary arguing that SG should win. Please link in reply if you know of any, and I'll add it.

My nephew, who’s mixed-race & fairly typically Left-wing, was called ‘right wing’ by white middle class kids in the pub last night for speaking about the need for single-sex spaces

This is the madness. I’ve known it for 10 yrs+. We all know it, really. It needs 2 get in the bin

I'm at that <always-click-the-show-button-on-posts-marked-intolerance> part of my BlueSky journey. It's always something I want to see & it's also a bit of this 🖕 to the pearl clutchers who think hiding discussions about the GRA is ⛔️ but declaring oneself a MAP is ✅️

Gisèle Pelicot addressing her choice to keep the surname "Pelicot":

"When the trial began, my children were 'ashamed' of the name. I have grandchildren called that. I want them proud. My name is known worldwide now. They shouldn't be ashamed. Today we will remember Gisèle Pelicot."

What a woman.

“This would suggest around 630,000 PEOPLE are on the list to be seen for problems that range from fibroids & endometriosis to menopause care”

No BBC. 630,000 WOMEN

There is no equivalent waiting list for men’s health

Finally an apology to Ros Adams. It should never have come to this of course.
