@ewen And I’m still following you. Yay! Now I need to figure out migrating to a new server myself.

@awilbert Scrolling quickly I first read your post as “extravagant” instead of “extra fragrant” and thought “ooh, they ARE quite lovely” 😂

Excellent reporting here.
A British Reporter Had a Big #MeToo Scoop. Her Editor Killed It. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/30/world/europe/me-too-guardian-financial-times-madison-marriage.html?smid=tw-share
Why Did The Financial Times Kill a #MeToo Scoop on the Observer Columnist Nick Cohen?

Seven women say that a star columnist groped them or made unwanted sexual advances. But Britain’s news media has a complicated relationship with outing its own.

Scammers are getting cleverer. My spouse was just nearly phished as they caught her by phone just out of the shower with a "fraud alert," and gave her enough information she gave them a little—before realizing they weren't legit. They offered her the first six digits of her card, which means they probably knew the card issuer but not the full number. They wanted her to read the full card and she called foul and then called the issuer, who confirmed nobody had called, and hard card replaced.

@JamesPadraicR Surprising they didn't require her father's signature.

@JamesPadraicR The checks for my parents’ joint bank account listed my mother as “Mrs. [Dad’s name]” until the mid-1980s. When she opened a new joint account at a different bank to receive direct deposit from her new job, my dad wasn’t present with her, and the bank listed her real name first then then my dad’s name, and my dad was shocked and offended. (He got over it eventually.) Btw, she signed everything else as Mrs. [Dad’s Name] for several more years.

We forget how relatively recently women had to fight for the simplest most basic rights.

"On this day in 1923, Attorney General Harry M. Daugherty pronounced it legal for women to wear trousers anywhere."

Now when will it be pronounced legal for women to take responsibility for their own bodies?
