Amazing! Never put an age limit on the things you might one day do!
As a young disabled person, I often had to put “later” on many of my goals. I love hearing about women who did things “later”, too.
Barbara Hillary (1931-2019) US. Nurse. Polar adventurer. On retiring from a 55 year career in nursing, she decided to become the first black woman to reach the Poles. After rigorous training she reached the North Pole, age 75, and the South Pole at age 79.
I don’t know who needs to hear this this January but: the body is not a project. Your body doesn’t exist to be in photos. It not the “before” waiting for the “after”. You don’t need to objectify the body in order to to look after it. Personify it. You wouldn’t be here without it.
@TaniaAMarshall Thanks for the follow! I grinned when I realised who you were. Your blog helped me realise I was autistic. I got my diagnosis a few years later and my life makes so much more sense to me now than it ever did.
For the past two years I have made an origami butterfly for every woman killed by a man in the UK. @K_IngalaSmith was the woman who collected the names and numbers. She has been counting for 10 years from today.
It's 10-years ago today that 20-year-old Kirsty Trealor was stabbed to death by Myles Williams.
Kirsty's death was the catalyst for Counting Dead Women. I've been thinking about her a lot over the last few weeks. What an awful waste and end of a young woman's life.
Word of the Day is one I’ve repeated often, because the time has surely come. ‘Respair’, from the 16th century, is fresh hope, and a recovery from despair.
I stuck up my early rejection letters on my kitchen wall, because every writer I admired got rejected initially and now I finally had something in common with them. No time spent doing what you love and learning to do it better is ever wasted. Make 2022 your year! ✍️🎉✍️🎉✍️🎉
It’s New Years Eve - a time for change. But be kind to yourself- if you can’t change it then let it go. Easy to say, hard to do , but essential for your mental health. I give YOU the authority!
I can’t put into words how this picture makes me feel. Finding others who have been through the same thing you have gives you so much hope and courage. Women supporting women will change the world.
Lovely response to my campaign on Instagram too asking brands & the media to #StopEditingOlderWomen creating unrealistic ideals of beauty & placing women under incredible pressure to remain youthful.

“…twice as many women as men are in the bottom 10% of earners, [leaving] them more vulnerable in a faltering economy.”
The pay gap is still a woman’s rights issue (and something @WomensInstitute has been campaigning for since at least 1943). https://t.co/9y8AL2kfke
