Pockets For Women

Happy international Women's Day!

May all your dresses have pockets 😁

Been rewatching Babylon 5.

The most unbelievable part? Babylon 4 disappeared just 4 years before and they managed to build another one and already have it running for at least a year. Pure fantasy 🙄😂

One look at my baby’s dungarees was all it took to give me the rage Why should he, an eight-month-old boy, have more pockets on his clothes than I do?

"Why should he, an eight-month-old boy, have more pockets on his clothes than I do?"

Well, exactly! He can look after your car keys then 😂🙄

UK households to get £15bn for solar and green tech to lower energy bills The government has announced the details of its long-awaited Warm Homes Plan which promises to cut energy bills.

Fabulous news!

Lots of pens and pencils and a Lego spaceman

I've not worn a handbag for years. Having a clear out, and I finally know where all my pens went. 😳

(Also a Lego spaceman, who doesn't wish to show his face!)

Pockets are the way forward. I haven't worn a handbag in years, it's so liberating!

Fabulous 😁. Love a dress with pockets (obvs!)

Just finished War and Peace!
It was free in audible read by Thandiwe Newton, and was really good. ( Having previously watched the BBC adaptation helped!) I've been listening to it on and off for the last year.

Hope that isn't my achievements for this year peaked 😂

🌱 🐦 Lush times at @sheffieldtransformed.org this weekend... We had a dream team there running a workshop on 'How we can use community land buy-backs to get land justice' and the room was packed! 💥

Probably don't need this anymore 😳

Let communities own rivers, woods and moors!

Write to your MP about the upcoming Community Right to Buy laws.

Just found out that a league as an imperial unit is about 3 miles. This makes 20,000 leagues under the the sea pretty good going considering the diameter of the Earth is only around 12,000km 😁

Lovely to have space for discussing community ownership of Moscar Moor on BBC Sheffield this morning… You can listen in from 8.12 via www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Things Which Are Motorcycles, and Things Which Aren't. Concerning an implacable robot master, a weak-willed human servant, what shadows are, and why hippos should always carry rubber bands.

In case it all gets a bit much and you want some more fun in your life I can highly recommend John Finnemore's Substack 😁

England's Community Right to Buy must enable communities to own environmental assets.

Excellent to see this cross-party amendment to the English Devolution Bill tabled by @vikkislademp.bsky.social @simonforstroud.bsky.social @sianberry.bsky.social:

Dr Frankenstein definitely comes across as a dangerous narcissist. I had the misfortune to listen to the book on audible a few years ago. Listening to him rant on, wasted hours of my life I won't get back. I can't imagine Shelley thought he was a sympathetic character.

Was really happy to see @threeacresacow.bsky.social at the Crucible this evening. Some things you take for granted as being just the way things are, but seeing the history of enclosure, shows how recently we had common rights to land. Also a great crowd and some lovely communal singing 😁

Girls just wanna be in our history textbooks | The Observer Women are still largely missing from the history we teach in classrooms. If we want a fairer future, we must stop erasing half the past

Is that the wonderful @katemossewriter.bsky.social writing in The Observer talking about End Sexism in School's new report into the History curriculum? 👀

New report out Wednesday - watch this space.

'Girls need to carry things too!': How women's pockets became so controversial Why do men's clothes have so many pockets, and women's so few? For centuries, the humble pocket has been a flashpoint in the gender divide of fashion. Is that finally set to change?

A great article about pockets in women's clothing, the history and the designers who champion them. www.bbc.co.uk/culture/arti...

In Bruges last month there was a little kid who'd lost his parents on a tour, but as soon as he started with his anguished cries of “mummy!” the crowd mobilised. Some to comfort him, others to look for the parents. They were reunited in minutes. Most people are nice. It's hard to remember sometimes.

Pyjamas with pockets naysayers : I found mine extremely useful when camping for my torch in a middle of the night toilet trip

That sounds great, thanks!

My 13-year-old just recently got some black skinny jeans from the women’s department because fellow emo kids told him that was the best place to find them, and, oh, the validation I felt when he complained about the teeny tiny pockets

And it was really helpful, thanks!

Thanks! That's so lovely 😁

Stop Burning Our Moors: Protect our kids, not grouse hunts. Wealthy landowners are burning our moorlands for grouse shooting on the land. But the toxic smoke from this burning blows over surrounding communities and releases tonnes of carbon into the atmosphere...

This cause is close to my heart - please sign: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...

🥾 Just shy of 200 people joined us up at Moscar Moor today to mark the start of the shooting season and united around our call for this huge grouse shooting estate in the Peak District to be taken into community ownership.

🛑 Stop grouse shooting
