Making new friends as an adult is hard. Making queer friends specifically can be even harder. This is the story of Abi, who at 30 years old made a TikTok asking people to meet her in a park and start some friendships.

I met #SouthallCommunityAlliance and the volunteers transforming a once-derelict dumping ground into a thriving community garden where local residents can develop their green thumbs and help grow fresh crops for local food banks.

Happy to be sharing my doc all about period pain. The short line is that we need to talk more about what it is and how it can impact people's live.
Thank you to @KarrynaMadison @sexedmattersuk, Letitia and Dr Daisy Lunde for their insightful interviews.

End of course photo for a talented group of journalists at City, University of London. Big futures await. Happy to have played a small part in those careers. Good luck.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This photo of Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders is from the March 8 signing of the LEARNS Act, which expands school choice and bans Critical Race Theory. She did not pose for a photo with children when she signed the Youth Hiring Act of 2023 two days later.

❗️Is there a better term than #BAME, or is is acceptable? Do let me know! I want my #journalism to be as accurate and inclusive as possible. Every word counts!❗️#journorequest #journalism
Not sure I love the BBC one vox pops where we discuss ‘focusing on the football’ and putting so called politics aside. I think you mispronounced human rights.

The Arts Council withdrawing funding from ENO unless they move north seems like a pretty solid example of levelling down. Up would be to build and fund another ENO in Manchester, wouldn’t it?

We are very concerned to see the arrest of journalists covering protest in the UK. @charlotterlynch recounts her experience, saying she showed her press pass and was at a distance from the protest thenational.scot/news/231114…
