The Thames Water gravy train is in even worse condition than its network of pipes. But some highly paid experts are trying to fix it. My @ObsNewReview column today:

Remember the episode in the Handmaid's Tale, where a brain dead, black handmaid is kept on life support long enough to give birth?
This is happening in Atlanta, GA right now. Her name is Adriana Smith. She was only 9wks when the state kidnapped her body from her family.
@fesshole You shouldn't get bitter about this. I have had friends that did this and after 10 years realised that the reason was just life and people's circumstances. If you instigate and no one turns up (regularly) that might be a time to consider.
I seeing people make Cassie’s testimony about her husband and saying they feel bad for him because he has to hear about what she used to do… has it ever occurred to y’all that he already knows and doesn’t hold her past against her because she’s the victim here
A crucial but less discussed element of the immigration story is exactly when and precisely why legal visas exploded in number. The below table (from the OBR) tells all. It was just after Brexit, and because Boris Johnson’s government brought in a new points based system

"I Kissed A Boy" tells young gay men watching the show that they must be attracted to women who are pretending to be male. It’s a regressive, insulting and homophobic message to same-sex attracted young people. See our letter to the BBC's Tim Davie 👇

@Casey5122dark Well everyone knows that feminist academics are representative of the population overall so I guess that settles the question.
I’d be interested in the results of a whiparound for signatures in the service and manufacturing industries - just to confirm the sentiment is universal
Men's spaces (not women's spaces) are men's responsibility.
We'll look after our own spaces.
Men can look after theirs.
If there are issues of safety for men in men's spaces they won't be solved by offloading vulnerable men onto women's spaces.
Our spaces are Women's spaces.
Not 'Potential Victims of Male Violence' spaces.
The problem is male violence.
Not women's spaces.
You’ll notice that I don’t post about ‘PTSD’ or ‘Complex PTSD’ - despite the fact that I specialise in trauma.
This is because I do not agree that trauma responses are a disorder - which is what the psychiatric label of ‘PTSD’ frames it as. There is nothing disordered about natural trauma responses - no matter how hard they are to deal with.
By framing our body and mind as ‘disordered’ we are pathologising ourselves rather than honouring our trauma and our experiences.
Mammograms are uniquely invasive, uncomfortable, personal examinations, involving squashing, flattening, lifting, pushing & pulling the breasts. If male radiographers are permitted to carry them out, more women will stay away.

@MoonpigUK why do you let me design a card, save it and return to it without signing in, then lose all the work I've done because I have to reset my password?
MAFS have a responsibility to not feed into the whole toxic ‘alpha male’ rhetoric but they’re enabling it by showing women and men who believe in it 🙄🙄🙄🙄 #MAFSAU
Virginia Giuffre publicly declared that she is not suicidal and warned that if anything happens to her, the people should ensure those responsible are held accountable and never forget their actions.
