Happy 10th birthday @StandardIssueUK!
Ten years of championing women and having a blast while we do so. Huge love to @SarahMillican75 for her incredible vision, patience and belief in what we do, and to @thatdunleavy and @inspireajen for being smashers.

📣FRESH POD📚
Liz Hyder’s new book, The Teller of Tall Tales, is aimed at young adults but a total delight for grown-ups, too. @MicksterNoonan chats to Liz about heavy awards, telling tales, the YA audience and – of course – the power of stories. https://t.co/Eflb1ZwJQx
Evil triumphs when good men say nothing. And so all the men silent in the face of male sexual violence against women and girls must just not give a monkey’s, right? @MicksterNoonan's written this week’s Substack, and she’s asking men to speak up. https://t.co/t6otb8gwII
imagine you're like 26 years old and you just graduated from clown school. the only thing on your resume is a stint running a failed covid-conscious lesbian bar in Massachusetts. after months of struggle, you finally land a job interview. do you bring iced coffee, yes or no

If you're wondering, "But do they talk about that time 'friends feared she was drinking custard. Again'?"...
...
...
Of course they do.
A joyous chat from our @inspireajen with the delight that is Vanessa.
In today’s interview @inspireajen chats to the legendary Vanessa Feltz about her new YouTube show, At Home with Vanessa, her career so far, the tabloid press, and whether or not she really was drinking custard. Dig in! https://t.co/rKDYkoMICo
"We should strive to be kind, but not at the expense of the truth or legitimate inquiry."
A sharp and smart take on why policing our free press is a very bad idea.
It’s open season in the press again and that’s fine, I guess. But press freedom remains a vital thing and it needs to be defended.

Really really nervous that we appear to be tearing up all guidance on reporting around suicide. One of most dangerous tropes we can promulgate is that death will allow people to repent and see error, allowing deceased to be reframed as heroic and set family free
There is something deeply ironic about condemning a supposed “witch hunt” while publishing a list of journalists’ names and asking strangers for personal and professional information about them.
🗞 BUSH! Telegraph 👓
This week’s apocalypse is brought to you by @MicksterNoonan and @inspireajen, chatting about: the early release of prisoners, the rise and risks of pervert specs, good news for women who invest, fake wives, sexist weather and sport. https://t.co/AQIScUweVW
In this week’s Bush Telegraph, @micksternoonan and @inspireajen chat about new Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, surrogacy, shadow-banning, cat-finding and some egregious capri pants, as well as filming female athletes and a baffling lack of VAR. Dig in! https://t.co/ATtP3kCWHg
Our @MicksterNoonan is from Liverpool stock, and in our latest Substack, she's talking about how the passing of the Hillsborough Law is a win for truth and justice and therefore a win for all of us, as well as a proud legacy for the 97 and their families. https://t.co/ntptUxq6F0
