Writer of fiction spotlighting the lives of women, single women, older women, childless women, single older women, single childless women, single older childless women ... well, you get the idea
Can you work this appalling censorship itself into one of your future lectures somehow, highlighting the irony? A brilliant lecture this morning, by the way - thank you!!

It’s especially ironic because the lecture is exactly about the ‘paralyzing cowardice’ of today’s elites.
About universities, corporations and media networks bending the knee to authoritarianism. /4

All journalists should either walk away from the interview in protest, or repeat the question until it is answered. This would require a coordinated effort. Journalist need to band together to stand up for the Fourth Estate.

Do we have to accept 'I was sat' or 'They were stood' though? Oh I miss the days when people weren't placed on surfaces like chess pieces but were actively 'sitting' and 'standing'!!!! Is it too late to revert?

No one but me seems to shudder at 'floor' used instead of 'ground' though. Apart from 'forest floor', floors are all man/womanmade surfaces, so usually indoors! 'Ground' is for outdoors. Whyyyyyyyyy????

Omg, thanks to you all I've just read Monstrilio. What a book! What a concept! What style and violent sweetness! Send me recs for anything equally preter (tho not super) natural. I trust you!
