@DianeMunki Happy anniversary to you

@TracyEdwardsMBE Grossly insulting to all women in Parliament who now occupy the senior roles it took us centuries to achieve - not just MPs, senior House staff too. In 2017, I was only the 487th woman to line up to be sworn in as an MP, in that time 5,000+ men had gone before me.

@latsot I never knew that! Now got the music from Vision On playing

@DrPamSpurr @SamanthaNiblet4 That would be really good, and a way to discuss it all thoroughly and sensitively, with the emphasis on what is said more than spectacle (for want of a better word). There's a certain closeness with audio - I remember your show on Heart

36 years ago today Maiden crossed the finish line and sailed into the record books as the first all-female crew to ever sail around the world. We had finished in 2nd place in the 1989/90 WRTR, proving our critics wrong. It was a fantastic day!!

If you see a fox in your neighborhood, be glad. A red fox eats roughly 2,000 mice, rats, and voles a year. They help keep tick-carrying rodent populations in check, which reduces local Lyme disease risk. Don't call animal control. Just watch.

London Underground station flooding has reportedly been reduced by around 90% thanks to a group of engineers: beavers.

After conservationists reintroduced a family of beavers into a nearby city park, the animals built dams and restored wetlands that now absorb and slow floodwater naturally.

Authorities had planned major man-made flood infrastructure, but the beavers effectively created their own system — while also boosting biodiversity and restoring the ecosystem around them.

Very powerful stuff here

@WeRtheMods Cagney has the right idea

'The rules of the game were – and are – designed to curtail the ability of local councils to improve and expand their housing stock. But it suited, too, a gentrifying agenda which sees some London councils only too keen to bring the middle-class and their money in'

My new Substack post looks at the controversial regeneration of Lewisham's Pepys Estate: 'a monolithic concentration of public housing', they claimed 'it makes sense to break that up and bring in a different mix of incomes and people with spending power':

Useful thread regarding recent UK tribunal.

The claimant is a Muslim woman with PTSD (a disability) whose workplace allowed men to use female facilties.

Her claim for discrimination was successful *on the basis of her being a woman.*

Her being Muslim (assumed modesty) and disabled (potential trauma) were unsuccessful claims.

That is (IANAL), neither of those characteristics were judged to have placed her at a specific disadvantage over and above the baseline of *being a woman*.

Many women have been weaponised in the general debate. Women have felt pressured to reveal sexual trauma to justify why they want safe, female-only spaces. Religiously modest women have been held up as rhetorical shields.

No more.

Being a woman is sufficient.

[Nick Wallis @nickwallis]

Seriously evil. Adherence to trans ideology allowed NHS staff to lock a vulnerable woman into a ward with psychotic men. She was raped within an hour.

Testosterone given to young East German girls (to win races) ruined their health, many died prematurely, many had disabled children, many were made sterile, all had severe health complications, caused by the drugs they were given. They weren’t on them for a lifeline, just whilst doing sport!
