“Between Women: Domestics and Their Employers” by Judith Rollins, is an ethnographic examination of the domestic worker-employer dynamics. It is a 1985 book so you have to understand that how we saw ethics in fieldwork is very different from the current standards.

Photo of the South of Scotland regional ballot paper for the Scottish election on 7th May 2026. Added text identifies the "INDEPENDENT GREEN VOICE" as "NOT the Green Party" and "SCOTTISH GREEN PARTY" as "The actual Green Party".
Anyone who received their postal ballot today in the South of Scotland region, please be aware that "Independent Green Voice", which appears second on the list on the peach regional ballot paper, is NOT the Scottish Green Party. This is in fact a deliberate vote spoiling attempt by right-wingers.
Sharing this again, as the first postal votes are dropping through letterboxes.
Don't fall for the fashy fake greens - look for the logo and vote for the real @scottishgreens.org to demand better for Scotland!
'Dr Brangan writes:
“In a regime distinguished by its excessive inhumanity, the Magdalene laundries were its deep end.
In 1951...for every 100,000 females, 70 were in a laundry.
These were not peripheral: they were Ireland’s main carceral institution.”'

New book on Ireland’s Catholic-run institutions that imprisoned thousands of women and girls. In Canada, meanwhile, records are blocked by federal & provincial laws. It raises a haunting question: what happened to the babies born in our Magdalene asylums?

🧵So it wasn't just me that was disappointed by Labour's manifesto. Not only are they battling in a 4 way split for the unionist vote, they have abandoned workers, and LGBT people as well.
