This is interesting - had noticed there's previous little that's girlboss about Harris (thank God)

The vice-president’s campaign isn’t aimed at pleasing liberal feminist columnists.

Yes. I enjoy this combination.

Oh, one more: Alain Delon playing with cats in Scorpio (1973)

As ever, I am spending the last proper day of my holiday full of *~intentions~*. Things to write, meals to cook, exhibitions to see, walks to take, friends to see. I want a fresh notebook. Don't shatter my dreams just yet.

On a terrace in Greece last night, several of our group were hugely distracted by the football. Panathinaikos narrowly lost to Ajax on penalties. 13-12 - which is more like a time than a football score

Buddy I beg you to have a real, honest conversation with just one childless person who feels safe enough to tell you the real reason they don't want or have kids. Brace yourself though because it will be, as they say, a doozy.

1. What we are seeing all over social media now is flat denial of the very existence of the far right. Far right agitators claim to be simple “patriots”, defending their country. Which is just what far right agitators have said for the past century.🧵

[Anna Fielding @anna_anna]

Not in London right now, but very proud of the huge turnout in Walthamstow. To my friends and neighbours, stay strong and stay safe.

[Tom Evans @TomEvansCricket]

Nobody’s anti-immigrant “concerns” are going unheard, there is literally no other issue that has taken anywhere near as much bandwidth this century and it has almost all been taking the side of the people who hate immigrants, what more do they want

[Dan Hancox @danhancox]

In a great bit of serendipity, Woodcock and I are both on a new R4 doc series airing rn about policing protests and riots. Extremism expert Woodcock talks about the dangers of Just Stop Oil. I talk about the state's disproportionate focus on the left 👍 https://t.co/0XLiZ5Pydn

‘It’s just raw profiteering’: the people refusing to pay their water bills in response to the sewage crisis https://t.co/36JNFqmw2w

[Anna Fielding @anna_anna]

I spoke to activists who are refusing to pay their water bills as a protest against sewage dumping.

[Janel Comeau 🍁 @VeryBadLlama]

"childless woman" is such an 19th-century-ass insult. what else you got. do I render inferior tallow? do my cabbages grow pale and blemished? does the quality of my sock-darning bring shame upon my father's name?

[Andrew Kersley @AndrewKersley]

EXCL: Untreated sewage was spilled into National Parks for nearly 400,000 hours last year in what have been called "truly shocking" findings.

I manually trawled through the outfall data of over 500 sewage pipes for this @politicshome investigation:

@writercrow Yes! Even though I didn't really know what they looked like at the time

The Wakefield twins had honey-blonde hair, blue-green eyes and perfect size six figures. And there the similarity ended. Jessica and Elizabeth were a touchstone of teen lit for my generation, so here's to their creator Francine Pascal who died earlier this week.

And in totally different book news - this is a great longlist. I have just bought Enlightenment and am truly looking forward to Or ital.

It was great to speak to @esildn for this!

[Anna Fielding @anna_anna]

@dubdobdee Did they?! I mean a big part of the problem was that I know very little about the Isle of Man

[Anna Fielding @anna_anna]

Asked to describe the Isle of Man and just couldn't really. "They really like motorsport and the cats have no tails" "Are you making this up?"
