A thousand blows is a true story based on the Forty Elephants. A female crime syndicate who specialised in shoplifting. In 2018, I read the historical newspapers about them, how they evaded being caught for so long. So glad this story is being brought to life! www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/t...

Made the most of the sunny weather by exploring new places and enjoying a riverside picnic. I still have to pinch myself when I remember that we LIVE here and it's not a holiday.

Oscar Wilde, still 1 of the best on #prison "Society takes upon itself the right to inflict appalling punishment on the individual, but it also has the supreme vice of shallowness, and fails to realise what it has done. When the man’s punishment is over ... it abandons him ..." #Criminology

@culturalclare.bsky.social is on Bluesky! We relocated 250 miles just 6mo ago and didn't know anyone near to our new home. Our local pub holds a weekly quiz night and going has helped us adapt to a massive, and often lonely, change. It was the first place people remembered our names.

"First there was a nationwide ban on women’s voices in public and now, this month, one of the last remaining female-run media outlets has been silenced, with the offices of a Kabul-based women’s radio station, Radio Begum, raided, staff arrested and the station taken off air."

Today is one of those days when I'm congratulating myself for getting out of the house on time (sort of) * I slipped in our puppy's wee at 5.30am * Puppy destroyed a houseplant & ate half a tealight candle when I went to get dressed for work * I spilled orange juice over my first outfit & sofa

Today marks 6 months since we relocated, way up the country, to North Yorkshire. Relocating comes with many challenges and emotions, but it was the best decision we could have made for ourselves. Yorkshire is now very much home.

This @hmiprisonsnews.bsky.social thematic report using data from 4 women's reception prisons is a shocking read, even for those who work in the sector. Prison is a very unsafe place for women. Read the report here: cloud-platform-e218f50a4812967ba1215eaecede923f.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/site...

Optimistic, sure. But also, morally shitty. We should be sticking together and looking after one another. Unity is what he is afraid of and tries to destroy.
