Hello! Please can anyone help with a Stylist article - looking for women aged 65+ to share the one wellbeing tip they wish they'd known when they were younger? Please DM me! Super grateful for any shares or forwarding to people who might be able to help #Journorequest

@stitchywhitney Thanks Michelle!

@helloitsparisa Sounds very interesting. I hope you get it placed elsewhere.

Editors!! I'm looking to rehome a 1500 word article on *novel treatments in animal medicine* which was meant to be in Reader's Digest June issue (the pub has closed). It's a fascinating and heartwarming lifestyle piece about futuristic medicine w case studies #RT #journorequest

@thediyora @theleaduk Congratulations Diyora!! Great news!

I've got some exciting news! I've started a new role as Senior Editor at @theleaduk this week and will be here for the next six months. You can say hello at diyora@thelead.uk -- writers and reporters, don't pitch me yet, as I will soon share a pitch guide!

@evamackevic @readersdigestUK Sorry to hear this, Eva. Thanks again for all the commissions — it was such a pleasure to work with you and on such a fascinating range of topics! Looking forward to seeing where you end up next. X

Grateful for nearly 8 incredible years working on the iconic @readersdigestUK . To my colleagues, writers, and friends—thank you for the memories, what a ride it's been!

We talk about the beauty of speaking Arabic in the diaspora, how to study something like loneliness, and the shape of refugee and asylum seekers' maternal care in the UK.

Spoke with the inspiring Sarah Shemery for SWANA speaks, please do check it out! Sarah is doing brilliant research into experiences of loneliness amongst refugee and asylum-seeking mothers in Scotland: swanaspeaks.substack.com/p/16-when-givi…

Benjamin Zephaniah was one of the few proper radicals in the public sphere when I was growing up. His poetry and his media presence was a beacon to those of us who couldn't abide the neoliberal consensus. He'll be profoundly missed.

Thanks so much for reading and sharing, Parisa! Yes, progress has undoubtedly been made in some descriptive contexts. Yet, ultimately, there is more work to be done through intentional actions from parties!

Interesting paper from @EmiliaBelknap and @merylkenny on party feminisation in Scottish parliament over time! Some progress being made but parties in Scotland need to do more to integrate women facing intersecting marginalisation: link.springer.com/article/10.105…

@helloitsparisa Oh how on earth are they so fluffy but so tiny 😭

Insightful piece from @aurelmondon on the mainstreaming of far-right ideas. Using words like 'populist' over 'far-right' and 'racist' legitimises the likes of Wilders, Milei and Farage: theconversation.com/look-to-the-ma…

@kemioliviax Incredible! Congrats Kemi

For SWANA speaks I spoke with the brilliant @ayaghanameh about her new book These Olive Trees, what she wishes people understood about being Palestinian, and the joy of discovering old family footage: swanaspeaks.substack.com/p/14-we-talk-a…
