My brilliant and smart wife has written a book. #motherdom Verso Books versobooks.com/en-gb/products…

For the day that’s in it, we’re celebrating the love that communities have for lidos, and the grassroots activism that sustains, revives or creates these joyous facilities for us all. First up: Dublin City Lido, George’s Dock. #LoveLidos 🩵


"A satisfying revolt against holier-than-thou moralizing around mothers" - the essence of #motherdom Verso Books

SO excited by the first sighting of #Motherdom in the wild. Thank you Helen Wilson/Simpson for the spot Waterstones
