#Anasyrma - deliberately revealing the #vagina - is the world's oldest power gesture. It's been used collectively & individually by women for millennia to protect family, community & fertility & is still used today. Raise the skirt: reclaim your power. #mondaythoughts #VulvaPower

On Black Monday – 29 March 1652 – the UK came to a standstill. No one worked, markets and fairs were cancelled, cattle and sheep were under cover, people cowered indoors behind locked doors too afraid to step outside. The reason? #eclipse2024 A thread 1.

@DoubleIvy @jessicacadams Aries is the Ascendant in England’s founding horoscope.
Aries is in the 19th house in the horoscope of the solar eclipse for England in 1652 (set for London).

[Catherine Blackledge @cathblackledge]

In the months after the eclipse, England’s Parliament was dissolved and Oliver Cromwell, a commoner, was raised up to be Lord Protector of the Commonwealth.

the raising up of some one man or men, or state of Commonwealth unto a greater height of sovereignty, rule or command, than either he hath at present (if this befall a particular man) or that Commonwealth or state’.
Was Lilly accurate in his forecast? 5.

Fantastic to be able to produce this important piece of research with @FertifaHQ @eileentso It is vital that reproductive health issues are recognised and supported properly in the workplace @FertilityNUK is committed to helping firms support staff facing #fertility issues

[Eileen Burbidge @eileentso]

Well done @FertifaHQ and @FertilityNUK on delivering the UK's largest ever survey on fertility in the workplace. No better way to cap off National Fertility Awareness Week and underscore the need for workplace policies and support of fertility and reproductive health more broadly

@mslucycooke @cheltfestivals @catbohannon I would have loved to have been there. #FemalePower

@historyinmemes This is #anasyrma - a #femalepower gesture practiced by women individually and collectively for millennia to protect themselves, family and community. Many more examples of this in Raising the Skirt: the Unsung Power of the Vagina https://t.co/oXZGcP0McN

‘You could argue that over the eons, mitochondria built an infrastructure—the human body—to feed themselves.’ Fascinating article.

[Lara Briden @LaraBriden]

Is the entire human body just an infrastructure for the real bosses (the mitochondria) to feed and propagate themselves?

@HollyDunsworth @MargaretJowitt Interesting article but why is the fetus referred to as ‘he’ throughout the article? Very irritating and unnecessary. I understand 51% of the human race is female.
