The last Magdalen laundry closed in 1996. Sinead ripped up the picture of the Pope in 1992. It's thought 9000 babies died in just 18 of those institutions. No apology was issued by the state until 2013. Sinead should've got one too for trying to speak out.

Various Garrick Club members including Sting, Mark Knopfler and leading actors and producers have reportedly written to the Club chairman saying they’ll resign if the membership doesn’t vote to accept women next Tuesday. Many others like me would also find it impossible to stay.

The demands of "be kind" reminds me of when middle child aged 7 had "it's cool to be kind" top on while fighting with her younger brother. I pointed out these words as I broke up the battle & she said "yes it means be kind to ME" ...which now seems prescient comment

Back when I first started working men used to say "oh what's this then, a mothers' meeting?" whenever more than two women were talking in the office - as a way of making sure us females knew what we were discussing was a bit of a joke & not important.

PR - I don't believe that any charity that is campaigning to remove the rights of trans people to live their lives safely and fully, should be allowed to exist.
AR - despite the fact that gender critical views are protected under the Eq Act.

Content & tone in a crisis should be thoughtful & intelligent. Organisations using social media today should be mindful of the horrendous events - especially true of Amnesty International. This is like posting a meme or gif. Be meaningful. Add value - Don't be trite.

Calling female colleagues Karens is a new and exciting way for men to be sexist at work.
Benefits of working from home:
- No commute
- Homemade lunch
- Work out whenever
- Control over AC/furnace
- Blast music thru speakers
- No need for shoes or shirt
- Not seeing Karen every day
- Homemade coffee/espresso
- Coworkers can't walk up to your desk

So far parents have been doing the heavy lifting on this - the time for

to step in and manage lobby groups in schools is overdue.
Just as the GIDS is being shut down, so too should the school propaganda pipeline promoting gender identity.
There should be an investigation of Stonewall, Gendered Intelligence, Mermaids and they should be out of schools.
The GIDS problem cannot be solved by the NHS alone.
