I like Sam Fender and agree that no one should tell boys living in poverty that they are privileged. However, misogyny has always transcended class. We should focus on both- alleviating child poverty while simultaneously refusing the onslaught of misogynist ‘solutions’.

Good account here of Elon Musk's seizure of control over the US government. It's terrifying and unprecedented and I think not getting as much coverage as it warrants, here in the UK at least www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

So deeply saddened to hear this, what a loss. He was such a kind man and a remarkable sociologist. His call to public sociology and reminder that "students are our first public, for they carry sociology into all walks of life" was profoundly inspirational to my teaching and my dissertation research.

Ohh Marianne Faithfull. She was so beautiful and stylish and talented. The lyrics to the Ballad of Lucy Jordan are on the opening page of my first book 🖤

Brilliant thread. What we see now is not simply chaos and confusion but a new form of social engineering; a ‘raw power’ that permeates every aspect of social life.

A lovely morning presenting at #YorkTalks alongside some wonderful colleagues. My book cover received a round of applause *and* I got to hold a facsimile from the 1700s of a 5th century text. @york.ac.uk www.york.ac.uk/research/eve...

“These girls have surely been used enough by angry men…and yet here it is, happening again. These victims have been robbed of their personhood, and reduced to ciphers for male rage and one upmanship. How disgusting.”

“Nigel Farage, Elon Musk, Robert Jenrick, Tommy Robinson – when have you ever heard these people give a shit about women’s issues, let alone make a speech or put forward a policy dedicated to advancing them?”

1986- the sparkling new Metro Centre Gateshead is built on the site of a disused power station. In this article I discuss the role of the Thatcher government in simultaneously dismantling the local industrial landscapes & cementing new ideals of consumer selfhood journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Perfect as it is, an annual reminder that Kirsty MacColl’s brilliance transcends beyond Fairytale. She wrote some of the best feminist lyrics of the 90s including this beauty “You lied about your status You lied about your life You never mentioned your three children And the fact you have a wife”

It’s that time of the year again to share Asda’s ill-advised 2012 Christmas commercial. Featuring a nice festive message of the total normalisation of women’s domestic labour, an exhausted but cheerfully acquiescing mum and a token hapless dad.

Last week I bought a secondhand book and inside I found this beautiful hand painted bookmark. It made my day! The other book that I have on the go is doubling up as a place to press autumn leaves.
