A few of this week’s stories to gladden the heart… #IStoodUpForWomenToday All over the world feminist ninjas took action. We stood up for our sex-based rights using those well-known weapons of mass-agitation; stickers and ribbons. From Leeds to Ottawa…
I am so glad that the Trans book is not being censored, amazon ranking it really surprises me.
I just saw a video on tiktok by this user @bravorighteous which I'm too old to post here but he breaks down ownership (% stakeholder) in everything from cable/internet/print AND big pharma (along with everything else on earth like food production) to two companies, Blackrock and Vanguard (along with one other). For the first time it's clear to me how big pharma's stakeholders are also stakeholders in social media platforms (along with censoring information about vaccines) and therefore are controlling the messaging on TRA (which of course Jennifer Bilek has been saying all along. That these companies are stakeholders in so much media AND big pharma was like the missing link but now I get it.
No you don't Aaronovitch! Any man coming off the fence now for personal acclaim ain't gonna cut it. Full kudos goes to Glinner and - if I may so - the hordes of anonymous men (yes, I include myself 😜) who have made their modest contribution to fighting the scourge, however small.
Aaronovitch has merely sensed a shift in sentiment and is only now coming off the fence for professional expediency. Grr!
Brilliant !! Lots of good news for once. We all need to keep the pressure on here. Watched a BBC news item about the failures in Maternity care in 2 hospitals in England (,resulting in serious damage to Mothers as well as babies !! ) Included in the news item was an interview with a FEMALE solicitor ,who is representing 20 " families " who have been adversely affected by these failures and NOT ONCE did she say the word WOMAN ,referring to them as. " birthing people "" and " families " ! ! Made me FURIOUS !!
Thank you JL! I like the good news. I read the Helen Joyce book - like all Economist writers, she does not waste a single word. It is excellent, apart from I have never seen the Matrix! I now don't want to! There was a massive article on it yesterday on the DailyMail online, loads of detail.
I’ve just finished reading trans this afternoon and then read the good news supplement. Did my mental health the world of good knowing that there is a glimmer of a turning tide and more mainstream coverage of the issues of self ID will help peak the wider public. Thank you for all your hard work JL
These "Good News Supplements" do winders for morale. I don't think we're at the beginning of the end of the war on women, but we are at the end of the beginning (to use the words of an old misogynist). We can win it, though, and we must - women and men of the future will have little good to say of us if we don't.
Ah, much as I find all your posts interesting, I really, really look forward to the 'good news' communication. Some good stuff here, thanks!
Brava, JL, and thank you for these morale-boosting Good News posts 👌👍🙏👏👊💪🤪
Alex Bellfield You Tube Channel did a good piece on JK Rowling this morning. He has 326k followers. That should reach a lot of people 👍
