During times that have felt dystopian, "Ruptured: Jewish Women in Australia Reflect on Life Post-October 7," edited by Lee Kofman and Tamar Paluch, is the first to tell the stories of these disorienting times through a distinctly female lens: buff.ly/PT134gz

Happy Easter to all. He is risen ✝️
Nvr mind he texted me back 😍
Fancying someone is actually the most stressful thing in the universe my god
The true villains of this piece are parents who not only deluded and confused their sons but went as far as enrolling them in a girl-only organisation for affirmation. Any heartbreak caused is their fault alone (and GG for indulging them). I have no sympathy for these people
Omg I had no idea. I just thought she was a garden variety troll. They do walk among us…
I accidentally played the 'scratch a midwit, uncover an antisemite' game on X 😑

I'm taken aback by the depth of my sadness at the death of Dame Jenni Murray. It's not just that she was an amazing woman and broadcaster. It's the type of feminism and women's movement she represented. An era is coming to a close 💔
💯💯💯
Thank you Mario
Feeling poorly so in bed with a cup of tea watching Downton Abbey like the happy wee granny I am
Apropos of nothing, the soundtracks to the Spyro The Dragon video games make for excellent study and concentration music
I think Bluesky might be working through some self-esteem issues
Don’t have the character limit here. Will add thoughts to my many, many unfinished substack drafts.
I’ll say this much, it’s very interesting that the covert bully is the protagonist played by the then-A list leading lady. Hollywood, assumedly then, expects women to root for her 🧐
Don’t go to university. Especially don‘t study the arts and humanities. I’m trying to unwind by watching ‘My Best Friend’s Wedding’ and instead involuntarily drafting a thesis about the psychological female dynamics in the movie
The views she has expressed are pro-women's rights and pro-reality. What does it tell you about society and the arts world that there are "consequences" for this? Also cancelling a review isn't "freedom of expression" as it isn't expressing anything. It's seeking to shut down engagement and shun.
Scottish poetry culture has learned nothing from the hounding of Jenny Lindsay.
Polly Clark is a wonderful poet, and a fine novelist. Profohndly depressing that a publicly funded (by Creative Scotland) journal will not publish a positive review for the wrongthink of the reviewed author.
“We urge you to reinstate Prof George with a full apology in order to clear his name and to reassure your other staff that those expressing gender-critical views are not at risk of similar discrimination and harassment.”

In this week’s column, I reflect on the death of Ayatollah Khamenei—and why it may be a moment for cautious celebration.
Just wrote a Very Assertive email and will now spend the rest of the day wondering if I've over-egged the pudding or just feel I've over-egged the pudding because I am woman
(probably under-egged the pudding)
I can't speak for how bad things are in the USA but a meme depicting British law enforcement as competent/fair/proactive where it matters almost had me falling off my chair.
Update: I also misunderstood what one rasher of bacon was 🫠
Masterchef is rubbish without Gregg I said what I said
One of my favourite foodie Instagram channels referred to jacket potatoes as “Jacky P’s” so with a heavy heart I’ve reported the account.
I was putting a "tablespoon" of ranch dressing in my healthy chicken salad and that was already 66 calories
Something I’ve learned from my new calorie counting app is that I had a very skewed (ie optimistic) idea of what a tbsp was 🙃
I need to do my dishes but have unfortunately made the fatal error of sitting down.
