The latest round of #protests in #Iran is large, significant and sharp. We shall hope and see if the people of Iran have success this time

Here's a little #socialMedia wrinkle and it is amazing

#Women have been lighting pictures of the #Ayatollah on fire, and lighting cigarettes with it

Burning photos of the supreme leader is a serious offense

Women smoking is restricted

Not a single (mandatory) #hijab to be seen

You might expect that the NHS of all organisations would not have accessibility issues for tests & treatments... but its seems that's not the case, as disabled women trying to access (vital) smear tests have found.

Given a significant majority of women surveyed by the Spinal Injuries Association had had problems getting smear tests due to accessibility issues, it looks like once again disabled people's health is going to the back of the queue.

This week I've been mainly reading, no. 273.

Caroline Chapman' book of accessible art history, Nineteenth Century Women Artists: Sisters of the Brush (2021) is a synthetic account of a range of relatively well known & perhaps more obscure women artists working between 1800-1914. Its more a survey than a book with a coherent central argument (other than women artists confront many obstacles), but as an introduction to female painters & sculptors it works well.
