I am a 35 year-old mother two - but still somewhat offended when a store assistant swiftly hits 'VISIBLY OVER 25' when I'm buying booze at the self-checkout

Twins really come into their own on #Halloween

@theipaper @RebeccaCNReid My parents' divorce went on for 7 years. I couldn't agree with this more!

Misogyny is the fact that when Russell Brand uses his own "promiscuity" as a defence against allegations against him, people rally behind him. Yet when women allege sexual violence, their apparent promiscuity is weaponised to undermine, disbelieve and demonise them

I’m not saying the media in the early 00’s caused my eating disorder but it sure didn’t help…

@victoriafinan Agree - it's such a nice community I've found

Four months into twin motherhood and I've never been prouder of a double chin or two (or three)

[Alice Stride @AliceJRStride]

@MsMargaritaP Hello! So nice to hear from you! When did you have your baby? That's lovely. And thank you - it absolutely is mad but finding my rhythm

[Alice Stride @AliceJRStride]

Six weeks into twin motherhood and I've learned that it's mostly comprised of congratulating them on their bodily functions

[Alice Stride @AliceJRStride]

@victoriafinan She is gorgeous 😍

I couldn't go to #Glastonbury in the end because I have 7 week-old twins (I did Google 'newborn + festival??? in a mad moment) - but this morning my son has got drunk (milk drunk), been sick and then gleefully passed out, which is v festival vibes

[Alice Stride @AliceJRStride]

@lucindadevine Thank you Lucinda! How are you?

[Alice Stride @AliceJRStride]

@RebeccaCNReid Thank you Mama! Right back at you, MAMA!

Btw, I am really enjoying your Substack (mama)

[Alice Stride @AliceJRStride]

@victoriafinan CONGRATULATIONS! so beautiful and what a name

[Alice Stride @AliceJRStride]

Veeeery late to the #Succession party here (my 5 week-old twins have no respect for when I want to watch telly, rude) but holy SHIT, what an extraordinary finale

This is contemporary sexism - it’s subtle and masquerading as research, but it’s real. Breastfeeding means a woman does ALL the caregiving. This unscientific crap only serves to guilt trip and pressure women into thinking motherhood has to mean martyrdom.

I am a fucking fantastic parent and Danny Kruger can suck it.
