OMG: “The healthy baby boy was born through natural birth early Monday at 1:38 a.m., standing at birth at 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighing 139 pounds… While it was a natural birth, zoo staffers were on hand and created a soft-landing area to cushion the calf’s 6-foot drop during delivery.”

Love the new observer feature 'what's on my mind' . Today with author Rose Tremain who is 82 years old. Taking up 14% is 'doing the dying'. Really pertinent at the moment in my family. And really helping to talk about the fears and the practical aspects.

Really worth reading this. There is so much more to come out about the billionaires, politicians & techbros who consorted with Epstein - but at its centre is the sickening belief that girls can be bought and sold for fun. Not just on that island, but pervading our whole world.
We all live in Jeffrey Epstein's world now. That's what we can't face. It's our world. Where sexual desire for children is protected, victims receive no justice & the President of what used to be called the free world is Jeff's friend. This is Jeff's World now.

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

Here’s what they found:
Women are interrupted more often than men—by about 10–20% in economics seminars.
Those interruptions are more likely to:
- Cut women off mid-sentence
- Come from men
- Be adversarial rather than clarifying in nature
