You might think that the beauty industry is a petty thing but lots of people love wearing makeup. It makes us feel a bit more beautiful. Influencers encourage overconsumption. We can still feel good with fewer products from ethical companies, same with clothing ❤️

Here are a few really good cruelty free products, btw. Upcircle, Beauty Pie, Pixi, M&S, Eden Perfumes, Barry M, Code Beautiful, Revolution, Collection, MUA, Nyx, Mylee, Fenti, Huda... Lots are inexpensive and not on the BDS list. There's no excuse for promoting products that harm people or animals

Influencers need to use cruelty free make up. This should be an absolute minimum requirement.

People REALLY don’t like being told they’re wrong. What the far right have done is weaponise this and tell people that the feelings of bigotry that they’re secretly ashamed of are actually good. And if deployed cunningly this works on far more people than you'd think, which is exhausting.

The UK government ceasing automatically to support almost anything the government of Israel does is a major shift. The next step should be to rescind the ban on #PalestineAction, to stop treating protesters as terrorists, and to acknowledge that those seeking to disrupt a genocide may have a point.

An actor has pulled out of a play because he did not want to star alongside Maureen Lipman and THIS was her response. She hasn't thought this through...at all. Oh no, he's going to be doomed to working with Oscar winners who are nice? Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck!

And if he doesn't grow up, then he's going to limit himself to working with just Mark Ruffalo and Javier Bardem for the rest of his career
