Loved this! And what a great #WomensDay movie!
The Statues Were Mostly Men or Nude Women. So These Knitters Got to Work. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/05/a...
A small girl wearing a rabbit costume and blue coat carries a book as she walks to school. Her mother (head out of shot) wheels her baby brother along in a pushchair. The baby says "Peter Rabbit may be the 'Hero' of the story, but surely the obedient, widowed Mrs Rabbit is a more effective symbol of the oppression inherent within Mister McGregor's regime" The girls looks furious and snaps "Mum!! He's critiquing my world book day costume from a marxist perspective again!"
A cartoon reminder that tomorrow is World Book Day (In the UK anyway). Originally for the @theguardian.com
Also--the PDF of this book is free every day of the year, but why not point out free books on this important day!

“Professional mothers are being put on trial for whether or not they can combine being a good mother and having a career, when the same does not apply to fathers. Feigel says: 'My book is about the way men have used the courts to punish their ex-wives under the guise of protecting their children.'”
The U.S. Senate must be clear: no war with Iran.
The President has launched our nation and our great military into a war of choice, risking American lives and resources, ignoring American law, and endangering our allies and partners. It does nothing to help with the urgent problems here at home that Americans face every day.

I am closely monitoring the ongoing military operations in Iran. International military actions have a direct and profound impact on Maryland’s families and communities.
I served in Afghanistan and I’ve seen who pays the price when Washington rushes into conflict.
Malala Yousafzai ‹ @Malala • 1h They were girls who went to school to learn, with hopes and dreams for their future. Today, their lives were brutally cut short. X I am heartbroken and appalled by the U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran, including reports that a girls' school in southern Iran was hit, resulting in the injury and death of many girls. The killing of civilians, especially children, is unconscionable, and I condemn it unequivocally. My heart is with the children, families and communities affected by escalation across the region. I stand firmly against violence and the targeting of schools and civilians. I call for the escalation of violence across the region to end. Justice and accountability must follow. All states and parties must uphold their obligations under international law to protect civilians and safeguard schools. Every child deserves to live and learn in peace.
“Phil Noble’s photograph of Andrew exposes the mundanity of monarchy”| Letters - with a comparison to Joan Miro’s work “His Majesty the King”:
“…I can imagine long-ago sticklers for tradition, around the time some bright spark was using new tech to consign the Homeric epics to papyrus, bemoaning the fact that the alphabet was destroying a creative culture of orality, memory and improvisation.”
This is just the beginning.

Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647.
