Such important work - and so obvious when you think about it: until we tackle the sources of toxic masculinity, we’ll only ever be treating the symptoms (women & children’s lives devastated) not finding a cure. theguardian.com/society/2022…

A delightful read about the gloriously obsolete, yet still endlessly alluring, phone box. The last phone boxes: broken glass, cider cans and – amazingly – a dial tone | Society | The Guardian theguardian.com/society/2022…

Shell wants the UK to approve its Jackdaw gas field🛢️
But approving Jackdaw won't lower our energy bills. It'll just make Shell millions 💷
We need real solutions to the energy & climate crisis, not more gas fields.
📢Time for @BorisJohnson to #StopJackdaw!
Iiiiiit’s Ibsen - a not often-performed one at that. Let’s see what you got, Henrik! instagram.com/p/Ca7QpfpMVCN/…

Just putting this out there as a heartening news story that isn’t about Partygate, Putin, price rises or the pandemic - hurrah! Eight-year-old's handwritten novel takes Idaho town by storm - BBC News bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-cana…
What to make of #TheGlow @royalcourt? Uneven and baffling, yes, but there’s beauty and humanity too - especially in the 2nd half. Can’t help feeling Russell T Davies would’ve made a better job of it…
Unbelievable - parental leave is not a “nice to have”; it’s essential for equality & democracy. @ipsaUK pls reconsider your decision not to give @stellacreasy locum cover. Or do we really want to send girls the message politics isn’t for them? chng.it/fqHqxMwz @UKChange
I fully understand you want to be online only as much as poss @bankwithsmile but your Live Chat links don’t work (on phone/laptop) & secure messages on mobile keep coming up with this stupendously unhelpful message: Sorry, there were some errors. I hear @StarlingBank is good…

Love this!! Yes, that's exactly the point, confirms childless woman accused of being selfish thedailymash.co.uk/news/life…
Powerful stuff about the narratives all human beans - and, yes, journos like me - impose on the messiness of real life. The last in the series is particularly gripping.... The Corrections - The Carbonara Case - BBC Sounds bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m00095…

This is a wonderful graphic illustrating the mess we are in right now. #Covid19UK #BrexitReality #ClimateCrisis
And still on my equality hobbyhorse... a trans man shares how starkly his treatment in the workplace has changed since ditching his boobs. Makes you think...
My life got easier after top surgery. Is this what male privilege looks like? The Guardian
