Really sad to hear that gal-dem will no longer be operating. For 8 years they’ve set the bar for what representation looks like & have undoubtedly paved the way for so many talented journalists from across the societal spectrum. Y’all set the tone guys & will be sorely missed.
We are incredibly sad to announce that gal-dem is closing.
Several factors that have contributed to this difficult decision, including numerous challenges with running a small, mission-driven, independent media company. We’ve shared more here gal-dem.com/gal-dem-goodbye-…
First ever cover story at the new job! 😁 I promise I'm not going to do this with all of them, but it was such a nice way to start the week. 🎉

The GC herself @missgemcollins shares unexpected TV ambition and slams 'snobs' for doubting her ok.co.uk/celebrity-news/gemm…
So today I did my first interview for @OK_Magazine with @missgemcollins and I am buzzing. She is an absolute queen and so friendly and passionate about everything she does. It was such a nice way to end the week talking about gardening and bingo! 🌷 Time to get growing!
And can we just also take a moment to appreciate the sheer hypocrisy of SCOTUS forcing women to have children while also failing to regulate guns so that they can y'know...actually survive beyond childhood. You can't pick and choose pro-life. You either protect 'em all, or none.

One of the darkest days for women’s rights in my lifetime. Obviously the immediate consequences will be suffered by women in the US - but this will embolden anti-abortion & anti-women forces in other countries too. Solidarity doesn’t feel enough right now - but it is necessary.
Right to abortion overturned by US Supreme Court after nearly 50 years in Roe v Wade ruling news.sky.com/story/right-to-…
If the Supreme Court really gave a rat's ass about the right to life and the wellbeing of citizens, it would spare a thought for the countless women that will now die needlessly by trying to get a backstreet abortion rather than accessing safe, regulated ones.
Ahhh! Congrats to @MeganJBanner for her first national print byline! 👏👏👏 First of many, for sure! 💚

Since it’s election week… this ridiculous decision has been on my mind all weekend. mirror.co.uk/news/politics/b…
Making voter ID compulsory is definitely not going to improve U.K. elections. I mean, the government itself already said 9% of people don’t have valid photo ID. Usually the most marginalised in society too. So marginalising them a bit further is going to help how?

Everyone involved in this article - commissioning, writing, sourced quotes, etc - need their hard drives searching urgently. Because “Woman wearing skirt leads PM into sexual frenzy” is a problem. As is “Working class woman couldn’t possibly be as clever as Oxford-educated man”.
Trying to rent in 2022 is feeling suspiciously more like playing the Hunger Games. I swear every time I like a house it’s just the immediate kiss of death. 🙃
Had a really interesting listen to @HollyLynch5 today as she highlighted the hugely important and growing issue of disposable BBQ’s impact on Moorland fires. I couldn’t believe there’s been 75 in Yorkshire alone this year and we’re only in March!
If the people complaining about Willy Collins’ grave actually took five minutes to educate themselves on the significance of GRT burial traditions maybe they would understand the cultural significance behind the grand scale of the memorial.

Granted, the grave in Sheffield should have had planning permission - and by all rights it won’t be to everyone’s taste, but it’s still a hugely poignant and heartfelt tribute from a man’s family to honour him.
