#childess experiences do not fit the modern neo-liberal narrative of choice and personal agency. They are about how we can’t always have what we want. That like ageing and death some aspects of life are beyond our control. They involve grief. All unpopular!

Simply incredible. The prejudice is real and programmed into our social media. It is undoubtedly replicating in our AI as well. Jody Day (Gateway Women) New Legacy Institute (NLI) Solo Advocacy Aus Allen & Unwin #sheidarenotname

WATCH NOW: An amazing time with the NomoCrones discussing what 'radical' means to use (dictionary definitions n'all) and whether a life lived outside the mainstream of motherhood predisposes us by elderhood to such things #childlesselderhood bit.ly/watch-radical

Creating community: Storyhouse Childless is helping to develop the childless community by providing a safe space.

And weirdly totally “recognisable”. Just older. #ageism #sexism

Dame Bibi Lynch Jody Day (Gateway Women) Another instance of our childless voices being unheard and our grief disregarded. Sadly, if you'd been a mum complaining of insensitivity for say grieving the loss of a second child, I feel you would have been treated differently. Pronatalism (I.e Mumsnet) has power, we don't.

#Ageing, #alone, #childless I’ve recently run the emotional, physically draining process of moving house alone aged 74. I’m asked to understand the issues of ‘Mums’, #kids, #families, etc. I ‘cope’ so ignore me/us? Perhaps our childless status makes many uncomfortable.

7 days to feel seen, understood & validated. 7 days for the #childless not by choice community to unite in a global voice. You can participate by sending in a submission, being a panellist in a webinar or by creating your #iamme photo. Find out more at: buff.ly/2qROKu3

Do you think the #childless are represented fairly in the media? What are your thoughts on the portrayal of the childless in films, soap operas, books, news, magazines, advertisements, politics & social media etc? Submission details at: buff.ly/3kDgKy2

Such a lovely, surprising, wide-ranging, meaningful and, I think, hopeful conversation! Thank you Andrew G. Marshall - Therapy

Here they are - the first 51 losses in our mission to find 101 different types 💗 (thesilentwhy.com/101losses). It's like one half of the big Silent Why family! And I've learnt hundreds of ways to deal with grief through these lovely humans. Full post: facebook.com/thesilentwhypo…

How do women learn to speak up for themselves if we're taught the opposite as girls? And as grown-up and older women without children, told to sit on the sidelines of 'real' womanhood? My new essay, free to read. bit.ly/ss-courage

This is a fascinating and important interview - understanding how pronatalism and patriarchy are intertwined and yet often hidden from view; we need to understand and unpack this. Thank you New Legacy Institute (NLI) and Jane van Dis MD 🌎

Regardless of the political party, non-coupled people continue to be ignored in new reforms. In my research, 70% of the single people interviewed lived with parents or in rented communal properties. The housing crisis doesn’t just impact “families”, it impacts everybody.

Isn't pronatalism exhausting? Wonderful groups I'm sure, but still... people without children care about future generations too! "... groups like 1000 Grandmothers for Future Generations [...] & the Society of Fearless Grandmothers [...] Moms Clean Air Force"
