SCROLLING
• The Daily Mail (Abre numa nova janela) got in first, naturally, bemoaning Madge's inability to know her place and go quietly into the wilderness. While Piers Morgan (trolling for England as usual) reckons she should "just go and put on a lot of clothing and sit in a rocking chair" (Abre numa nova janela). Strange how, every time the Rolling Stones announce a new tour, nobody says that to Mick Jagger...
• On the subject of double-standards, Monica Lewinsky (Abre numa nova janela) on 25 years since she became public property.
• Jacinda Ardern resigned (Abre numa nova janela) as Prime Minister of New Zealand, saying she "no longer had enough in the tank" to do the job.
• On that subject, this piece by Emma Gannon on knowing when to quit (Abre numa nova janela) absolutely nails it.
• Grey hair jokes (Abre numa nova janela) don't count as ageism, even if they're symptomatic of a sexist, ageist office culture. Apparently.
• When did fitness become a luxury (Abre numa nova janela)?
• Why we all need a little everyday awe (Abre numa nova janela).
