Women have made waves all over the world, but are so often left out of the history books. It was wonderful to write for @scoop_the_mag about six sheroes of the sea who made a big splash in Herstory!
Have a listen to hear from some fantastic women using/ making/ disrupting tech for feminism !
At @atlanticfellows we’re exploring being human when digital, considering how AR/VR can help us be together when we’re apart. To experience the sort of tech we’re exploring go here: beem.plus/atlanticfellow… if you’re an Atlantic Fellow join the Being Human series 21stApril @BeemHQ

Loved reflecting on the Artist Engineer Podcast on my relationship with art and technology. It was wonderful to think about artists as meaning makers and the urgent need to get more creative activists in the field. Have a listen! theartistengineer.com
👀 Just spotted that the BBC TV 60min documentary that we are part of: ✨Craftivism: Making A Difference✨ is now on YouTube for anyone outside of the UK to watch. Please share with contacts who you know wanted to watch it and couldn’t until now 🤫👉youtu.be/zmvypjQJcKE
Doing some @herstory_uk research this weekend and have come across Rell Sunn - one of the world's greatest all round water women and complete Hawaiian legend. Love that as she took on the most ferocious waves she had a delicate flower tucked behind her ear!

Spending most of my time in & out of virtual worlds, thinking about how we can be more human when in them. But it's lovely to get a slice of @herstory_uk in too. Loved sharing Six Sheroes for @scoop_the_mag - look these women up and buy a copy of Scoop for a child in your life!
The wonderful @WIRED article by @elipariser @civic_signals sent me down a beautiful research tunnel: JANE JACOBS. The Urbanist/Activist who championed community in city building. LOOK HER UP! As our communities gather online ask what would citizen Jane do with all this space
Mary Wollstonecraft statue=beyond disappointing-lack of clothing aside-the notion that this representation allows her to be "every woman" is frustrating statues of women often represent all women. Herstory is full of individuals whose specific lives we stand to learn from Let us!
Hosting with @alicewroe was so much fun! Such an important topic, Alice always puts women- all women- at the forefront of her work and I am proud of her for making this event a success and thank her for letting me be apart of it 🥳

More thanks are flying there way to @carsoncenterunl who gifted us their brightest minds! Delivering nuggets of wisdom throughout the show on whether emerging arts can accelerate our journey to a feminist future in this industry
Thanks need to be delivered to Mark West of @UNESCO whose report on virtual assistants changed my working life. It was privilege to get to discuss “Id Blush If I Could” with him and explore the feminist ramifications of that report.
Hosted an event @feministlibrary with @Arroyo_live exploring whether a feminist future is poss in tech Speakers were amazing, tech was frustrating! Takeaway= there's audience hungry for an answer This drives me to continue questioning & share it in a variety of ways.
I also want to thank @lishali88 who talked with me about the ethics of digital bodies- we discussed whether deep fakes were in opposition to the body positivity movement.
My HUGE thanks go to overall superwoman of broadcasting @AzanaFrancis18 - she held the evening together beautifully, I was delighted to co-host with her. A complete Shero

I will not celebrate someone born into unearned privilege, who has a personal wealth of £22 billion, has one of the most expensive jewellery collections in the world stolen from past colonies and has their extravagant lifestyle funded by taxpayers. Not when children are starving.
Thank you @ToppingsEdin for hosting me last night. Lovely crowd and lovely setting. Bookshops and people that like spending time in them are consistently wonderful 🙏😘
Me too, Kieran - an honour.
Really looking forward to speaking alongside @JoBrowningWroe and @AyaRoots With the legendary Ali Smith. Tickets now available cambridgeliteraryfestival.com/events/ali-smi…

Thanks, Damian - and Ingrid and Louisa - what company I get to keep these days.
I just did a panel w/ @IngridPersaud & @JoBrowningWroe for @FaberAcademy on 'writing sensitive subjects' - something we all do. It was a joy-odd to say when each of our books deals w tough stuff. But wonderful to bask in their insight under the caring eye of chair Louisa Joyner.
Thank you Cardiff Waterstones, so looking forward to being with you!

👇👇 ! !
New @BooksOfTheYear pod recording this morning with @Mattm_Williams @JoBrowningWroe With you shortly!
“The help we can give these people is not complicated. We do our job. We do it well, we do it quickly and we leave. We’re not priests, or friends, or family. We’re embalmers. Keep your head down and your heart hard. That’s your kindness.” The aching complexity of being human.
I’m reading #ATerribleKindness by @JoBrowningWroe a coming of age story about a 19 year old embalmer who heeds a call as the Aberfan disaster happens killing 116 children & 28 adults in 1966. The first chapter is without doubt one of the most extraordinary I have ever read.
I feel a piece coming on about the parallels between novel writing and jigsaw completion. Also I never want to see another cotton reel. Happy new year everyone.
@FaberBooks @JoBrowningWroe However many times I press ‘like’ wouldn’t do justice to this brilliant writing about to land in the world.
When we go through impossible things, someone, or something, will help us, if we let them . . . A Terrible Kindness by @JoBrowningWroe is one of the most hotly anticipated debut novels of '22. Out 20 Jan, pre-order a beautiful hardback edition now 💛 💙 linktr.ee/ATerribleKindn…
