I call upon all sides not to resort to violins

No offence to my partner but I want Nick Mohammed to hold my hand and tell me I’m doing brilliantly next time I give birth. #CelebrityTraitors

I am actually really upset about the way #celebritytraitors handled the charity thing. What a missed opportunity for all those charities that could have gotten much needed attention if they had allowed participants to say who they were backing (or added it as a banner under their names)

Me: gotta give credit to the Germans, they really care about the environment more than the rest of us. My kid’s nursery: please buy this 2-euro-made-in-China-piece-of-crap plastic toy for the Lantern Festival. No we won’t explain what the Lantern Festival.

My mood. Generally on any day but definitely today.

The United States of America ladies and gents 👏 🦅

I love that they’re removing his Style. Want the next statement (for when they next find out about another dreadful thing Andrew has done) to be: His Majority is killing the Vibe of Andrew Mountbatten Windsor.

The year is 2080. AI is running what is left of humanity after the climate collapse and the spread of new viruses. Only half the planet is inhabitable. And Buckingham Palace just announced that Prince Andrew has just been stripped of another title "in light of new information"

My alternative take: a lot of the problematic representations of Jews in pop culture come from the fact we only ever get to watch American Jews doing American Jewish things and playing off American Jewish cliches. But there’s more to the diaspora than the US!

Rule #1 of catching benefit fraudsters: if you think someone is committing benefit fraud they probably aren’t. They’re probably just doing something totally normal as part of this thing called living life that your system failed to account for.

Designing a character on #FM26. You have 500 jaw types and can refine them by the millimetres. Then you go to the hair section and it’s like “long hair/short hair” “hair colour: black/orange/yellow.” I see you’re trying to cater to the needs of lookmaxxers.

It is crazy that two women made it CLEAR that Jonathan is a liar and both were proved faithful and only one person has taken that on board #celebritytraitors

If you’re a French socialist president of the council during the Third Republic it’s Blumscrolling.

““Come it will be fun! There are lots of traitors gifs and misguided opinions about the Aston Villa drama.” How I got my better half to finally join Bluesky. Welcome @omrilh.bsky.social !

As someone living with an Hapoel fan here. Let’s clarify what happened there. 🪡

Left my phone for 10 seconds in the hands of my 18-month old son and next thing I know he was trying to buy a group (?) subscription to @jonnelledge.bsky.social ‘s substack. Did I give birth to someone who will be lecturing me about the 1965 map of London boroughs in ten years from now?

Me for the past few months: Bluesky is m pleasantly free of antisemitism. Me for the past two days: interesting how no one has anything to say about Manchester apart from fellow Jews. Me looking at the replies to @nadinebh.bsky.social ‘s threads on antisemitism: oooh this is where everyone is 🤮

Last night after we left synagogue, my partner, a friend, and I were discussing what we knew would be an inevitable attack. We were saying “we know there will be an attack. We just don’t know where.” Got this text from my partner this morning.

🇩🇪 Hey Berlin friends 👋 Chayn is throwing a little party for the launch of our feminist AI tool - Survivor AI - which helps survivors of image based abuse take content down. Come for the AI hype, stay for the drinks and good company. Register here: luma.com/rg71dkhb

Brigitte Macron will be showing in court evidence that she’s not a trans woman in her libel lawsuit against the American far right whack jobs who claim otherwise. I understand the desire to go to court over this but gosh I wish she didn’t have to do this.

Albania when Trump talks about the settlement between “Aberbaijan and Albania.” youtube.com/shorts/wGj3b...

I know it’s wrong to obsess over every little thing Trump says but his speech in which he refers to the left as “the Marxist, the anarchists, the agitators, the looters and people who in many instances have no idea what they’re doing” is such a gift. Thanks for making the left sexy again DJT.

Lovely piece about a new council estate that has been very thoughtful designed for the Haredim community. It always strikes me in Stamford Hill how they manage to make great use of public space in an area that’s frankly horrendous from an urbanisation view point www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

In an ocean of sad news the release of Elizabeth Tsurkov is a massive relief. Can’t wait to find her on this platform.

I have been doing quite a bit of work lately on encryption lately and why it matters as a feminist issue and it’s for many reasons a joyous thing to work on. Here’s a not particularly joyous policy brief on the issue chayn.medium.com/encryption-a...

I miss many things about London but Pride isn’t one of them. I was so impressed by the Nuremberg pride this weekend. Dozens of thousands of people marching (it didn’t feel small town-ish or provincial, felt like a proper city Pride), a political event, while being still a fun lighthearted one.

Baby sensory activity - 16th century edition.

Really fascinating developments in the “other place”. The French far right is losing their shit because Grok is going “woke” and comparing their new guru (billionaire Pierre-Édouard Sterin) to Hitler and saying policies that favour white families over non-white ones are unethical.

Am I the only one who think about the Handmaid’s tale when I hear about U.K. regulators? (You know Ofwat, Ofcom, Ofsted, Ofgem sound like they could plot an uprising with Offred, Ofwarren, Ofjoseph, and Oflawrence)

Well that was pathetic but good enough I guess. #SWENG #euro2025 #lionesses

The shame around weight loss jabs reminds me of the shame around epidural vs “natural birth.” There’re so many things that suck about the 21st century but guys being able to give birth or lose weight without suffering is a good thing.

The new public interest tech.

Will be on LBC in 3 min to talk decriminalisation of abortion and the amendment going through House of Lords. My key message will be. It’s too hot outside for a heated debate that no one wants.

just over the last 5 weeks, Trump has helped swing elections (against him) in Wisconsin, Canada, Australia, and the Vatican.

Summary of the last 10 minutes on Bluesky

Called my son Leonard and have been battling people who shorten it to Leo for the past year. I have a vague feeling I’m about to lose this war 🙄 #HabemusPapam

Not now India. 😵‍💫

I know we have stopped counting the number of deranged things he says per second but… Donald Trump telling Mark Carney one of the reasons why Canadians would want to become Americans is… healthcare??!!!??? 😳

I want to have the moral strength that prevented Jeff Goldberg from just posting the eye emoji 👀into that chat.

Hi #RightsCon 25! Join me at 16:30 in room 101B for a dialogue on deepfakes in court.

@rightscon.org do you have a starter pack of rights con participants?

Returning to my new home after a few weeks in Paris Brussels and in London feels like a good time to make a 🚨 personal announcement 🚨 on this platform that I have already made on the other place (by which I obviously mean LinkedIn).

Yesterday was my last day at the #AIActionSummit I spent it with the inspiring laureates of the Laboratory for Women’s Rights Online. They are all grant recipients funded to work on TFGBV and some of them have incredible AI powered projects to support survivors of TFGBV.

Packed room for the Laboratory for Women’s Rights online event. Great but I long for the day men will attend those events too.
