Genuinely 💔💔 at the passing of #RobertaFlack I’ve been rediscovering my old vinyls recently and Killing Me Softly has always been a favourite amongst them. This has to be the best cover of #Cohen ‘s #Suzanne I’ve ever heard. ❤️ 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 youtu.be/Ud9KV-2ro_g?...

This is such an enlightening read from #PM #Sunak ‘s chief whip. Entitlement, sexual games, observations on #Suella etc Understandable why people have such low opinions of #politicians. Sex scandals! Fights! Egos! Confessions of the chief whip www.thetimes.com/article/e25f...

It’s fascinating to hear how people discover music & musicians. I love some observations below-the condescension, the vibing with #TheBand + #Baez & #Dylan were prominent voices I grew up with, starting around age 4 (1965)- played by my parents& my brother. They will forever be part of my story. ❤️

I was listening to #CynthiaEnloe reading her book ‘12 #Feminist Lessons of War’ when I read of mass #rape &killing by burning of #women in the #DRC Such group #SexualViolence is hardly new but why can we not recognise that they are systematic? Crucial. #MensWars www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

So sad to hear of the passing of #CecileRichards She was a formidable advocate, organiser & fighter for women, for workers, who I once met briefly and yet was impressed. We must commit to keep her work going. @PlannedParenthood #SRR #ReproductiveRights www.nytimes.com/2025/01/20/u...

While we rightly celebrate the strength of #democracy in #SouthKorea we shouldn’t think that tells us the whole picture. The country has one of the largest #GenderPayGaps and the lowest #BirthRates in the world #Feminists are successfully targeted and their careers ruined #4B
