    Post 9-11, the veil, women labelled as letterboxes became hotbed topics. But can we really afford to continue to make these generalisations? Delighted publishing my book “My Hair Is Pink Under This Veil”

    I feel so lucky to have enjoyed her wise advice and cheerful company. Gloriously unfussed by convention, and always generous, Shirley was loved and adored among Liberal Democrats and beyond, and will be hugely missed. (2/2)

    Heartbroken. Shirley Williams was a shining inspiration. For more than half a century, she deployed her sharp intellect and fearless passion in service of an open, just and more equal society. (1/2)

    Powerful piece by Anne Enright: "Male agency is routinely removed from descriptions of male violence, and this helps men get away with it."

    Lately I've been trying to educate myself on the links between empire, slavery and financialised capitalism. I've still got a long way to go but it's already fundamentally changed my perspective on the work I'm doing. I wrote about what I've learned so far for 👇

    There are such "burn the witch" vibes from this photograph. An age-old story of men's power and men's fear. It's bleak as hell, but at the same time: hold on to that look of defiance.

    Incredible how normal it is for women to be told not to go out alone after dark. Yet how strange and inexplicable this would seem if the same instruction - or even a curfew - were issued to men.

    A security guard tailed me on my walk home tonight. He demanded if I lived there because “you look suspicious.” I showed my keys & buzzed myself into my building. He left, no apology. This is the reality of black girls: One day you’re called an icon, the next day, a threat.

    Wow, a fantastic piece by . We live in a contradictory society that can celebrate a black girl poet & also pepper spray a 9 yr old. Yes see me, but also see all other black girls who've been made invisible. I can not, will not, rise alone.
