I’m launching this hashtag #LetUsExist to protest against the gender apartheid in Afghanistan and im inviting all of you to support Afghanistani women and to fight for gender equality !

Controversial perhaps, but how about banning the Afghanistan cricket team from international matches? Sorry lads, but time to think of Afghan women and girls. theguardian.com/sport/2023/nov…

Reposting this because its a great watch - and not just because I am in it - worth it for the picture of young Tessel Middag alone #50YearsOn #SWPL #SWF Richard McBrearty Professor Fiona Skillen

Until recently, the writing about women's football in Scotland in the '60s & early '70s centred on 15 or so teams. But this seriously underestimates the amount of women's football being played. My current tally is 85 teams across the length & breadth of Scotland! #50YearsOn

The minute from the SFA that we mark today: Women's Football (Item 70. Executive and General Purposes Committee): It was agreed to give recognition to women's football. (SFA Minutes, 29 August 1974). So little said for all those years of hurt. #50YearsOn A Most Unsuitable Game

Posted a thread on organising football matches under SFA restrictions. Not only were the women not put off, they found ways to play more games in Scotland, take part in competitions in England, form the SWFA & organise the first ever International!!! #50YearsOn A Most Unsuitable Game

As will be obvious, I am passionate about the history of women's football in Scotland & telling it to as many people as possible. If any teams or groups are interested in hearing more get in touch - I will try not to rant too much but can't promise. #50YearsOn A Most Unsuitable Game

💔 this is not an 'isolated incident' as described by the police - it is yet another example of men's violence against women and children that is happening across the country and is replicated throughout the world.

A former MET police officer who served in the same unit as David Carrick and Wayne Couzens has been charged with 21 offences, including rape and sexual assault. This is absolutely infuriating, frustrating, and deeply heartbreaking. This has to stop. theguardian.com/uk-news/articl…

The main batch of books are on their way to our distributor Lomond Books Ltd so only days away from sending out those pre-orders; and then into shops. Thanks all for patience.

As welcome as Taylor's version is, please read Linda Ronstadt's statement

I'm sorry my tweets offend men, truly. However while you're worried about being offended by a tweet, women died being shot with a crossbow, one was raped and drugged by 100 men, and another's body was puréed in a blender. Find equivalents, at the same frequency, and I'll stop.

I have never loved anyone more

So Huw Edwards gets a suspended sentence for buying and making pornographic images of children, while peaceful environmental defenders seeking to prevent social catastrophe get 3, 4 and 5 years. Some justice, this.
