Sometimes the internet knows things

I want to get a phone that can tell me where I am and how to get where I'm going
and also take photos, and remember where it took them,
and stick them to the map so I can show people the interesting things.

since currently all I do with my phone is send texts to my employee and my mum
this would require new knowings.

is it simples? the guy in the phone shop says I just need an android phone. my employee reckons we should look them up and compare features but really, I wouldn't know from features.

Government to tell parents how to make their children "aspirational" and "ambitious for themselves".
Because clearly the solution to structural inequalities is to tell individuals they need to try harder.

I guess this may not be obvious to people who have achieved the sort of power that can make this stuff happen, but: sometimes, wanting is not getting.
Telling girls to want more... have we not been asking? Have we not been trying? I rather thought we were.

But no, not according to this bollocks. Apparently we hold ourselves back.

This is not feminism. This is the same old same old in high heels.
