Am at #Fespaco2019, #BurkinaFaso. 165 films in 7 days. The opening ceremony is fun. My school girl French is holding up. If I plan it right I might get to see the excellent #aKasha by @hajooj again. #BucketList item fulfilled.

@KewMobileMuseum Need to consider the saying: "there are no countries without #abortion, only countries without legal abortion." According to this article women will try anything, incl this weird list, to dilate the cervix. The mind boggles. #HistSex #WomensHealth

This is so excellent. I want me!

As a sickler myself this article left me disappointed and angry. Good to know, I guess. #SickleCell

@WhoresofYore Heard it regularly as a child, less popular now. For a person who is a parasite or a waste of space. Didn't know its origin was gendered or its association with sex work. #LiveAndLearn

VERY IMPORTANT THREAD: Ok, I know this sounds dull, but I want to talk about TV licenses. If you enjoy any BBC services whatsoever, this affects you!

A lovely page from a Qur'an written in Sini script- an Arabic style particular to Chinese Muslims- completed in 1643 in Beijing (right before the end of Ming control of the city!) by the female calligrapher Ama Allah Nur al-Ilm bint Rashid al-Din (Dav. Coll. Inv. no. 53/1999):

STORY TIME 🗣
So I walked in my moms house with my sister to get food ...I guess there’s was a small odor of marijuana still on us . I guess spraying before we got out the car didn’t work so she caught a whiff...this was the outcome . Yes we were trying to hide in the bathroom

Decided to try #OatMilk. Bought @Alpro and @OatlyUK for comparison. Alpro is disgusting & leaves a funny taste. Oatly is so yummy I can drink it in a glass on its own! #SmallSteps #MoooveOver

Job done. A temporary solution of the #BadNeighbours don't stop throwing #WetWipes down the toilet. #Fatberg #AllClear #Stink

[midian @midian09]

This is the drain outside my flat. Completely blocked and overflowing. Plumber said was lucky not to have a backsurge of sewerage up my pipes (again 😠)! Full of #WetWipes he said. #BadNeighbours #Fatberg #Stink #JettingPipes @thameswater
