It's Publication Day for my brand new book baby today. But I now know from experience that many of my gorgeous readers won't know that. The (legally protected) "belief" that #women exist as a sex holds Great Power. To make books invisible. So lmk if you see this one around👑

@BradfemlyWalsh @thefempire50 The department that I did my MA in Women’s Studies in was closed completely I believe - cost cutting, although oddly it was a department that broke even. Go figure 🤷‍♀️

@thefempire50 Definitely. I was the last ever year to do Women's Studies for my Master's at my uni in the UK, it was replaced by Gender Studies the next academic year and they got rid of all the Radfem lecturers and brought in a load of PoMo twats.

I'm seeing the same sort of silly, over earnest, mostly white libfems simultaneously loving The Handmaid's Tale and condemning Gilead and also supporting Iran, without a shred of awareness that Gilead & most of the horrors in the book are based on how Iranian women are treated.

@runthinkwrite All my goats have proper names, first name and surname (ok so herd name, but still). And they are definitely individuals! So I’m not sure this theory holds water…

Its Friday so... I've just read a supposed argument, published in a real book by real academics, against the use of the terms 'male' and 'female' for humans. It goes like this (paraphrased to protect the guilty): "Other species, like goats, can be described as male and female. But they don't have names, like 'Fred' or 'Alice.' We do. We are social animals. We are individuals. We're not like goats. So we shouldn't be called male and female." That's it. I kid you not.

I was talking to someone about 'What Katy Did at School', which I read and re-read as a child, and which has been continuously in print ever since it was written in 1873. My own copy had a plain cover, but out of curiosity, I had a nose around on google images. Oh. My. God. 1/8

Hudnan Jacks from Gisborne, New Zealand punched a woman in the face at #LetWomenSpeak Auckland last year. He walked away from the court with a small fine and anonymity. The least I can do is take that anonymity away.

@JoolzDenby Flat full fat coke and grated apple (not mixed together mind!). If you can face it, mix a spoonful of sugar in the coke - that’s what my midwife recommended when I was hospitalized with gastrointestinal issues while pregnant.

OK yes I have been laid up for a 8 days now with what might or might not be some kind of hideous food poisoning and am thinking of just moving my bed into the bathroom. Do not expect coherent responses and anyone know how to make dioralyte palatable?

One of the big problems with the modern world is that we're not allowed to have middling opinions anymore, we have to be 100% one side or another on everything. Some people blame social media, personally I blame Marmite.

@TheVikingDane We took his sister too (there were 5 of them - the other 3 had other homes) - she’s called Sylvia and she’s FAR more sensible than he is 😂

Dear @eddieizzard, I am a constituent of Brighton Pavilion where you are planning to run as Labour MP. Women are trying to secure the option of single sex rape crisis therapy for female survivors of male violence. Can we rely on your support? crowdjustice.com/case/help-sara…

This episode of @TheRestHistory is especially good, even by their high standard. @holland_tom draws out the significance of medieval self-starving teenage girls with such subtlety, and it’s something I touch on a bit in Good Girls

Today on @TheRestHistory, 14th C Europe's most remarkable woman: Catherine of Siena. How did this illiterate girl from a humble background end up THE BLOOD-DRINKING BRIDE OF CHRIST: advisor to popes, the conscience of Christendom? And what of her diet? linktr.ee/restishistory

It takes all my willpower not to write about Faverolles in ze cod French accent, because they are so very French. Note the beard, muff, feathered feet and disapproving expression. Zey, sorry, they are a product of the mid-19thC chicken craze, combining local and Asian breeds.

Oh my God! The bloody cats left a baby rat/large mouse dead at the bottom of the stairs. And I just stood on it with bare feet and pretty much popped it. I’m traumatized for life 🤮😵‍💫

D1 wants her next book to be about a strong girl who has an adventure with an animal companion and maybe a boy, and there’s magic. Sounds like His Dark Materials, really, but D1 is eight, so those are a couple of years away. Anyone got any other suggestions for a strong reader?
