The brilliant debut album from Modern Woman is out tomorrow. I had the great pleasure of speaking to lead singer/songwriter Sophie Harris ahead of the band's performance at next month's excellent Wanderlust Festival in Southampton.

I tried Gaza Cola & it 100% passes the taste test. I've been wanting to try it but online it's in multipacks & I didn't want to buy loads if it wasn't good. I'm not buying the well known cola brands so am pleased to have an ethical alternative - all profits go to rebuilding hospitals in Gaza.

I've just had my MMR. I've always assumed I was fully vaced but it turns out if you were born before 1990 you might not have had it. You can email your GP to check your vaccination record. Please do your own research obvs. Also, send me a sticker. Apparently I was too old to get one from the nurse.

Anne of Green Gables is my favourite book - and has played a significant role in my outlook to this day.

1. Consent in our pseudo-democracies is strained at the best of times, but it hangs on the belief that there is some kind of justice: through inquiries, tribunals, sometimes even the law, powerful people who commit crimes against us will one day be held to account. But what if this no longer works?🧵

I don't normally watch films about male violence because they tend to objectify the victims, either in terms of characterisation, cinematography or both. But as I knew Anna Kendrick had directed Woman of the Hour I gave it a go and am here to recommend it (with trigger warnings, obviously). Contd.

We're hearing increasing concern from parents & those who work with young people about the rise of pro-ana content on social media & an interest in being unhealthily thin among teen girls. The global political slide to the right & open misogyny appear to be factors alongside revival of 90s fashions.
