I met the brilliant Kristine Ziwica at the kinder gate in 2014. Our second kids graduated primary school together tonight. Every woman deserves a fellow feminist at the school gate. If you find one, hold her close.

Every photo of video of ‘kids being kids’ has, invisible behind it, broader socioeconomic privilege, and a whole lot of (usually female) adult labour. Behind this photo are many carers (to change kids out of wet clothes) and parent(a) with time to run the washing machine daily.
