I spoke to stickysexysad, Grace Alice O'Shea and Dr. Apryl Alexander about the "body count" trend on TikTok, a supposedly modern conversation that trades in tired, old cliches.

One of the many passages of Hilary Mantel that will never leave. ‘All houses are haunted.’ RIP.

GOAT writer of course but also did so much to publicise the effects of endometriosis and medicine's ignorance about complex female pain. a legend

‘When you turn and look back down the years, you glimpse the ghosts of other lives you might have led; all houses are haunted.’ Hilary Mantel wrote many wonderful pieces for the LRB and we’d hoped she’d write many more: lrb.co.uk/contributors/h…

I spoke to @CaraHunterSDLP, Kate Isaacs of #NotYourPorn and @Sophie_J_J for this piece about how fake porn campaigns are deployed to silence women. The world of deep fake porn: How fabricated videos are being used to harm women inews.co.uk/inews-lifestyl…
