This week the world said goodbye to Dame Stephanie “Steve” Shirley — Holocaust survivor, tech trailblazer, fierce feminist, and tireless advocate for autistic people. Arriving in Britain at just five years old on the Kindertransport, she went on to revolutionise the computing industry in the 1960s, building a company that hired and empowered hundreds of women at a time when doors were firmly shut to them. She donated most of her fortune to causes close to her heart, especially autism support and education. Her courage, generosity, and determination changed countless lives, and her legacy will keep inspiring generations to come.

“You can’t change the whole world – but you can change hers.”

This October, Jinty & Lou are taking part in Trevi’s Warrior Women’s 10K Walk – walking to connect with friends and other amazing women, and to raise vital funds for TREVI.

TREVI is where women escaping trauma, abuse, and addiction find safety, hope, and a second chance – often with their children by their side.

From Jasmine Mother’s Recovery – the UK’s only rehab where mums can stay with their kids – to the Sunflower Women’s Centre offering wrap-around community support, TREVI changes lives every day.

In the past year alone, they helped over 1,000 women. For many, it was the difference between losing everything and starting again.

You’d really have to be thicker than Devon Clotted cream left out all day by some clot, to not know that this would happen, in a world where gender and racial bias in health care not only exists but is often unrecognised by many clinicians.
Thanks to Jessica Murray and for highlighting this.

Where do the English councils think AI gets their information from in the first place.

The example given is of no surprise to most women. We deal with this bias every single day from real people- we don’t need it compounded by AI.

Is this how our councils are going to decide which of our neurodivergent children get PIP, EHCPs, or any support at all in fact, too?

It’s no surprise that AI is gender bias- what is appalling, however, is that English councils are using it and not checking it when they make life changing decisions about real people- instead, perhaps they could- oh I don’t know, maybe use AI to help educate people about gender bias in health care - how to understand their own biases and give them the tools to know what they can do about it.

🥂 Last night we raised a glass (or three) to the birth of Namaste Motherf*ckers- the Book.
Already a great Podcast, it is the fabulous, funny, brainchild of the one and only . 🎉📚

Huge congrats, Cally – it’s a brilliant book. The room was buzzing with incredible people… but let’s be honest, the real VIP was Jeff the dog. 🐾✨

Thank you for the invite and for writing something that finally reflects what midlife actually looks like — not the tired old “it’s all downhill from here” narrative. Nope. We’re talking messy, chaotic, powerful, hilarious, and 100% motherf*cking awesome. 💥💃

Here’s to the our chapter. Bring it on.

Pre order now and start reading it tomorrow 31st July 🩷💚🩷💚🩷💚🩷💚🩷
