There is no good justification anywhere and ever for punishing free expression harming no-one. And, as in this terrible case, the victims of vigilante anti-blasphemy actions are so often women. Misogyny joins religious zeal in a toxic combination. Must be countered. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Tuesday 9th September, @leaypi.bsky.social will be with us to talk about her new book 'Indignity'. Tickets cost £6 or £22 with a copy of the book @blackwells.bsky.social Book your place here www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1383672956...
