I feel like this is something we should be speaking more about 😵💫
JUST IN: NASA says there's now a 3.1% chance an asteroid will hit Earth in 2032, up from 2.6% yesterday.
This is the highest risk assessment an asteroid has ever received, surpassing 2.7% in 2004

I am angry. What Gisèle Pelicot was subjected to by her husband, the sheer number of men involved, the likelihood of other women across the world unknowingly experiencing the same. I see women talking about this. Men: have you read this? Are you horrified? We need you to join the conversation.
When Gisèle Pelicot was called to talk to police in November 2020, she believed it was to discuss the upskirting allegations made against her husband of 50 years.
Instead, police would go on to show her countless photographs which she described as “a horror scene".

Fuse ODG's points about the harm done by this track are very articulately made and worth reading. I watched the Band Aid documentary on iPlayer last night and was also really struck by how few women and people of colour were involved in the original, the lack of diversity was quite shocking.
I’m glad my criticism of Bob Geldof’s Band Aid charity single for Africa caused a storm. Here’s why I did it | Fuse ODG

This Christmas, something significant is unfolding. I believe that in decades…

Watched the first episode of #boybandsforever on Iplayer at the weekend and it's magnificent. Had forgotten how hilarious (and wise) Robbie is. And Nigel Martin Smith describing Gary Barlow as "19 going on 50"....brilliant.
