Tell me again about Starmer's fucking box at Arsenal.

is that what i think it is? Another advocacy group using the front of protecting women & girls as a cover for their internalised misogyny and belief in victorian ideals of masculinity and femininity to legitimise control over women’s bodies in sport? Yes!

so the sports journalism industry is fully aware that it’s one of the most white straight cis male middle class dominated industries and yet companies are using in-company referrals when recruiting. what a joke 💀

There is no easy way to talk about this. This week the UN announced we are on track to reach up to 3.1° Celsius of warming. We are slated to blow past the goals of the Paris Accords. Here's what this means. (1/9) 🧵

Devastating letter on assisted dying published by the Irish Times last Friday irishtimes.com/opinion/letter…

Let’s not call sexual harassment „the kiss“

the only thing america hates more than a rapist is a woman

It says A LOT how people are actively misconstruing her point to make her sound ungrateful. She knows the population doesn’t retire her age. It’s about the huge disparity of earnings within the women’s game.

excited to finally get on the bluesky bandwagon: bsky.app/profile/evieas… will continue my usual sport x politics x journalism ramblings on here of course but now you can find them on another platform too!

Less than 8% of ECB, FCC or CCB staff are disabled, compared to 23% of the working age population. Michael Powell’s story demonstrates the essential rich experiences, skills and perspectives disabled talent bring to cricket. Take note from Hampshire Cricket
