A note on the film Pride - I was scrolling Pink News yesterday and saw that Jessica Gunning who plays Siân James (later Siân James MP of course!!) has come out as gay. Something delightfully circular about that!

Oh wow - thanks for sharing! Such a great character / part of history. Delightfully circular indeed!

I can relate to your experience with gray hair. My family goes gray early, and I dyed mine for years until the pandemic made it more difficult. And then the birth of my son left me with little extra energy or time. So I gave up. And now I’m 40 with a ton of gray hair that most days I don’t mind. But so many people have an opinion about it (post on that coming up soon).

I think the feminist thing is to do whatever is right for us, whether it’s using dye or not.

Thank you so much for sharing Jillian! Feels like such a ‘silly’ tricky thing to juggle. But I think you're right - we can only do what's best/feels right for us! ❤️

Love this. In the theme of workers rights - I believe Timpsons are renowned for being wonderful employers, offering leave for the death of a pet, for example, which does my heart good. You won’t regret the welly purchase - and you’ll have room for huge socks!

Yes I think you're right! And also offering employment opportunities to those who might not find other companies so willing to take them on due to past experiences etc. So another double whammy worthwhile cause, I think.

And yes to huge socks - the more layers the better! 🧦
