NEW: Progressives have a birth rate problem For all the talk of a general fall in births, the drop is overwhelmingly driven by people on the left having fewer kids. By ceding the topic of family and children to the right, progressives risk ushering in a more conservative world.

How to Think About Birthrates: A Multi-factored Approach I have a new piece published today with @FamStudies, on how our model of fertility needs to be multi-causal. Demographers have touched on many of these factors, but we need to get used to thinking about them together. 🧵!

@ninalakhani Hi Nina - in your opening paragraph you wrote "...Washington and Idaho, have a 40% to 50% chance of experiencing above-average temperatures from June through August." This means that they are more likely to have below average temps. is this what you really mean?

@rcpoliticsuk Why then did they vote in favour of the bill?

Sandesh Gulhane MSP and Ruth Maguire MSP raise some very important questions and make critical points on the potential impact of proposed abortion buffer zone legislation on silent prayer and the criminalisation of thought.

What it looks like when a woman does not equivocate or bend to bullsh!t. @11thBlog

Pope Francis has called for a day of prayer, fasting and penance on Friday 27th October. The Pope made his appeal at his audience last Wednesday. You can find it here (scroll down to the end): vatican.va/content/france…

@aliciabwfoster @ToppingsEdin Great talk Alicia and I was very pleased to have met you.

Thank you to ⁦@ToppingsEdin⁩ for hosting me and Gwen John. Thoroughly enjoyed talking to your lovely customers. Bath next week…

@aliciabwfoster Hi Alicia, any plans for a talk in Glasgow?

Really looking forward to Edinburgh Topping & Co talk

@aliciabwfoster Lovely!

Feels like this kind of day. Rue Terre Neuve, Meudon by Gwen John. 3 colours and around 10 tones. This view is from her studio window, but she was equally often the wanderer herself. I love the wit and concision of the women with a walking stick nearly as tall as she is.

@JoeFitzSNP @ScotParl @LGBTIScotland @ScottishTrans @EngenderScot @DundeePride @LGBTYS @OutForIndy @StonewallScot @AmnestyScotland @LEAPsports @justrightscot I am so sorry that this bill is being supported by so many otherwise right thinking individuals.

At 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @ScotParl this week MSPs will vote on the Gender Recognition Reform (Scotland) Bill. ✅ I'll be supporting the Bill because it seeks to remove unnecessary and disproportionate barriers to legal gender recognition and will help to transform the lives of many trans people.

Every woman who’s been harassed, silenced, bullied or lost employment because of her gender critical beliefs is freer and safer today, thanks to the warrior that is @MForstater. 🎉 #SexMatters #IStandWithMaya

The ‘inclusive sport’ that excludes women. They remove the word ‘women’s’ from the name of the race and two women get knocked off the podium. How much more obvious does it need to become before the sporting world sorts this mess out?

Favour Fridays? We love some alliteration! We would also love if you could share our platform or some of our articles with your network, so that we can continue to grow! 💛 #constructivejournalism #solutionsjournalism #slownews adamah.media

@PopnMatters "perpetual growth can occur on a finite planet" - why not? Finite does not mean small and perpetual does not mean infinite.

@PopnMatters Since when did the killing of an independent human being become healthcare?
