Adult human female creative. Mum, wife & beyond. Aspiring polymath. Liberal feminist once, never again. EN/SP tweet mix. My own views and all that jazz
@tomcopy I think creatives are like investigative journalists without a deadline for a story. We just need to collect stories, anecdotes, conversations... from all walks of life, with the hope to filter them into an idea eventually.
A woman on my flight yesterday switched seats with her husband because their toddler wouldn’t stop crying.
The second she sat down alone, she closed her eyes for maybe 30 seconds.
Just resting.
Not sleeping.
When the husband walked past with the kid later, he laughed and said loudly,
“Must be nice to finally get a break from doing nothing.”
A few people chuckled.
She laughed too.
But something about it felt off because for the entire flight she had been:
holding the baby,
packing snacks,
cleaning spills,
walking him down the aisle,
missing her own meal trying to calm him down…
while the husband watched a movie with headphones on.
And honestly I think that’s why so many women are exhausted.
Not because they’re doing everything alone.
But because they’re doing everything while someone else calls it “nothing.”
@alicesalisburyj@FinanceDirCFO Oh wow! Thank you! When we got the idea of Spoofing H&S I knew we had something special, it's been so much fun. I’m very proud of it. ✌️
@FinanceDirCFO@alicesalisburyj Thank you, Alastair! If you like it that is a massive compliment. Its a part of 3,this is the first one. More to come. I’ll post them on LinkedIn. Xx
@FinanceDirCFO@alicesalisburyj Interrupting this lovely discussion with an ad break worthy of your time... coincidentally, my team and I have just launched a health and “safetea” campaign video that may come in handy for explaining tea-making abroad ✌️https://t.co/50nE5CrPSl

Talented mf.
But better not dig too much into his relationship with women “muses”, though. 🤢
It pains me that most artists seem eager to walk the shitty man path.
…walking cliches.
I may be tempted to post this beauty in Linkedin to disperse men from my TL that get their nails painted and suddenly know everything about feminism.
It's brill 😂 and made by men with men so there, enjoy!
