This beloved east London museum will reopen after years of closure

Vestry House will reopen its doors in autumn with new exhibitions and a prison cell on displayWalthamstow’s one of those east London spots that has a bit of everything: wetlands, a bustling street market, a criminally underrated library. But if you’re partial to an exhibition you might’ve noticed that, for a few years now, the town has been without one of its greatest museums: Vestry House. 
Luckily that won’t be the case for too much longer. After shutting its doors years ago for a revamp, the...

“People really want to hate on women”: What the backlash against Blake Lively for her Justin Baldoni complaint warns of modern misogyny - The New Feminist

Content warning: This article contains mentions of domestic violence.


In 2024, Blake Lively became the face of an uncomfortable truth: Hollywood can’t talk about domestic violence without dressing it up as something pink, sparkly and romantic. She egged audiences on to see her film It Ends With Us (2024) on girls-night, decked out in flowers – after asking them to try out her new hair-care line.

A Real Pain: Families Are A Nightmare and Jesse Eisenberg Understands Why

By Meadow Wattret, Film and TV Co-Deputy EditorIt’s 2am in the middle of term two and I can’t sleep because of my three younger brothers. Not because they’re screaming at video games, or because I’m still seething after a text-fight where I declared they were ‘the worst’.
