How come we aren't talking about the rape scene in Bridgerton?
Content warning: Rape Spoilers for Bridgerton season 1 episode 6. I’d heard a lot of talk about Bridgerton at the start of the year, so when I finished what I'd been watching it was the next show on my list, and I must say it was a good watch. And damn does it make me thankful that I live in the 21st Century. Watching Daphne almost get married off to some random old man had me cringing, and I was incensed with rage when he then tried to claim her and assaulted her. Also, the thought of ‘shaming’ yourself and all the women in your family just for being with a man ‘unchaperoned’ is horrendously archaic. Honestly, props to all women for making it through that time alive because it must have been absolute hell. My other half even made a comment when Daphne’s older brother was trying to find her a husband, asking how I’d feel if my older brother was having to find me a husband. Thank god we don’t operate like that anymore!

Covid-19 and the UK; Who's to Blame?
Let’s be frank, the situation is dire. Not only are we an island, but we also had a few months head start whilst Covid-19 made its way across the globe. We could literally see it coming. So, it’s interesting that we’ve somehow ended up with the worst death rate in the world and the highest death toll in Europe.

A First Timer's Experience Giving Blood
I feel like personally, organ donation is talked about a lot more than blood donation. For me, I heard about organ donation as a child and signed up for it as soon as I was able to, but I don’t think I’d heard of anyone giving blood until my housemate did at university.
