“There’s something so anorexic about this myth that anorexics don’t feel hungry - we’re human! We’re supposed to eat regularly!” - Hadley Freeman at The Trouble Club this evening

Sometimes you just have to sit in silence for a while when you finish reading a book and that's exactly what I'm doing now after finishing #GoodGirls .

Beyond excited to speak with Hadley Freeman this evening about the book and her experience with anorexia.

We wholeheartedly agree! ❤️

'Government confidence that deportations will start soon...' was what they said two years ago so by 'soon' we assume they mean once they've pulled the UK out of every international human rights treaty in existence.

Just one snippet of this fascinating conversation with Angela Saini, author of The Patriarchs. Thanks so much for joining us at Trouble!

“It’s very rare in other species to see the father at the top of the family. This is a man made thing. Humans haven’t been patriarchal forever.” - Angela Saini.

“We talk about patriarchy as this monolithic thing but that wasn’t how it was originally intended” - Angela Saini at AllBright this evening for tonight’s Trouble talk

'A group of older Swiss women have won the first ever climate case victory in the European Court of Human Rights.' - bbc.co.uk/news/science-e…
