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 🤷‍♀️

@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…

@GingerElanor @TalkTervosaurus @LissaKEvans @FilmLecturer I had the similar paperback edition of What Katy Did Next. But WKD and WKDAS were my mother’s green hardback editions

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.

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 😂

[womenandchildrenfirst @JunkyLighthouse]

@TheVikingDane That’s Orlando. We found him in a hedge 5 years ago

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?

@HadleyFreeman @TheRestHistory @holland_tom I wrote my masters degree thesis on just this very subject - the Caroline Walker Bynum book is incredibly interesting!

@DeborahMeaden @VizslamentesUK Can’t beat a vizsla - ours is a bit older now but still crazy 😝

@mcdonnelljp Elvis is a salmon faverolle crossed with a giant frizzled Brahma. He’s massive with fluffy feet and an extra toe (and very cuddly)😍

@Spookie23 Otters!

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 🤮😵‍💫

[womenandchildrenfirst @JunkyLighthouse]

@FemmeLoves Me please! I’ve got about 4 projects on the go and far, far too much wool stashed around the house!
