Tips from a science journalist who loves produce:
1. Blanching reduces risk (this is a cooking technique where you boil a vegetable in salted water + then immediately transfer to an ice bath to retain color + crunch.)
2. Eating fruit with thick peels reduces risk (grapefruits, bananas, oranges.)
3. Cooking vegetables then using in a salad: beets, carrots, broccoli, asparagus, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts
4. Vinegar / salting / freezing doesn’t get rid of these pathogens btw!
Hope this helps
Her name is Gina Martin. She was at a music festival in London when a man pushed his phone between her legs and took a photo under her skirt. She reported it to the police immediately. They told her it wasn't a criminal offence. There was nothing they could do.
She went home and decided that was unacceptable. With no legal background, no political connections and no funding she launched a campaign to make upskirting a criminal offence in England and Wales. She petitioned. She lobbied MPs. She spoke publicly about what had happened to her. The government initially blocked the bill.
She kept going. The Voyeurism Act passed in January 2019. Upskirting now carries up to two years in prison. Scotland followed. Other countries are following. A woman at a festival with no lawyer, no funding and no political connections rewrote the law for an entire nation in eighteen months.
alright muting this lol. someone put this in the comments tho so i’m going to share it here in case it helps anyone else in this situation going forward — i didn’t know what to do at all and this would’ve been helpful to have!
