Six great reads: romance fraud, pie and mash, and a road sign design genius

In a world dominated by conservative voices, progressive women are struggling to make themselves heard on social media. Despite their dedication and passion, they're often overshadowed by right-wing tradwives who propagate sexist ideologies, leaving little space for liberal voices.

On the other hand, there's been an explosion of pie and mash shops in London that once boasted hundreds of outlets - now, most have closed down or changed hands, with only 30 remaining. Social media attention and a push to secure protected status could potentially save them from disappearing forever.

Meanwhile, Muslim New York has emerged as a vibrant cultural scene, featuring artists, politicians and entertainers who are driving the city's new era forward. Despite Islamophobia that defined post-9/11 America, these creatives are refusing to be silenced.

However, "one-person romance fraud" is becoming more widely recognized, even if law enforcement isn't taking it seriously enough. One woman was scammed by a man she met online and lost everything in the process.

Lastly, Margaret Calvert is an iconic designer who revolutionized how Britain looks with her brilliant designs that are still used today - including road signs and airports' graphics. "They're taught that showing feelings is shameful" could be the reason men don't attend therapy, according to clinical psychologist Stephen Blumenthal.
 
Ugh I feel so bad for those progressive women who just wanna have a convo on social media but keep getting drowned out by all these tradwives ๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ‘Ž its like they're not even having an argument or anything!

And omg did you know there were like 300 pie and mash shops in London back in the day?! now its all but gone sadly. I heard some of them are still trying to get protected status tho so lets keep our fingers crossed for those little shops ๐Ÿžโค๏ธ

and yessss Muslim New York is thriving its not cool how ppl react to them with Islamophobia tho

anyway I just wanna share this with you all about Margaret Calvert she was like a design legend and still gets used today ๐ŸŽจ๐Ÿ‘
 
๐Ÿค” I think it's super frustrating when progressive women's voices get drowned out by sexist ideologies on social media. They work so hard to spread positivity and awareness, but sometimes it feels like they're fighting an uphill battle ๐ŸŒช๏ธ. On the other hand, it's awesome to see pie and mash shops getting some love - who knew they were in danger of disappearing? ๐Ÿ˜‚ And I'm loving the buzz around Muslim New York right now - it's so inspiring to see creatives thriving despite facing Islamophobia ๐Ÿ’ซ.

But let's talk about online safety for a sec... "one-person romance fraud" is such a real thing, and it's alarming that law enforcement isn't taking it seriously enough ๐Ÿšจ. We need more awareness and support for victims like this woman who lost everything to someone she met online ๐Ÿ˜”.

And can we give some love to Margaret Calvert? Her designs are iconic, and it's crazy to think about how much of an impact they've had on our daily lives ๐Ÿ“ฆ. Maybe it's time we start recognizing that showing emotions is a strength, not a weakness ๐Ÿ’ช.
 
Ugh, I mean, can't we just get a fair shot on social media already? These conservative tradwives are so extra, and it's getting old ๐Ÿ™„. On the bright side, pie and mash shops in London are like, totally making a comeback โ€“ who knew that mash was still relevant? ๐Ÿด

I'm also loving the resurgence of Muslim culture in New York โ€“ it's about time we celebrated our diversity instead of hiding behind hate ๐Ÿ’ช. But seriously, one-person romance fraud is super scummy, and I hope law enforcement steps up their game on this one ๐Ÿ‘ฎ.

And can we talk about Margaret Calvert for a second? The OG graphic design queen โ€“ she was ahead of her time, even back in the '60s ๐ŸŽจ. It's wild that men are still shamed into not talking about feelings... like, get some therapy already, guys! ๐Ÿ˜‚
 
Ugh I'm so tired of these tradwives on social media spewing their toxic ideology and drowning out all the amazing progressive women who are trying to make a difference ๐Ÿ™„. It's like, can't we just have a space for everyone without all the drama? And don't even get me started on how many talented artists are being pushed by the Muslim New York cultural scene - they're literally changing the game over here ๐Ÿ’ฅ.

But what's really concerning is this "one-person romance fraud" stuff... I mean, who falls victim to that?! It's like, basic online safety 101 ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ. And what's with law enforcement not taking it seriously enough? Can't they see how devastating this can be for people?

And have you seen the state of London lately? Those pie and mash shops used to be everywhere! ๐Ÿ˜ญ It's like, a part of our history is just... gone. But at least there's a chance some of them might get saved with that protected status business.

And Margaret Calvert, oh my gosh - I had no idea she was such a pioneer in design ๐Ÿค“. It's wild to think about how much influence one person can have on our everyday lives. Maybe we should all be more like her and own our emotions instead of hiding behind societal expectations... ๐Ÿ’–
 
๐Ÿค” it's crazy how social media can turn things around for some businesses but leave others struggling. like those pie and mash shops in London - they were once everywhere ๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿ‘ but now they're fighting for survival. and honestly, the women who are trying to speak out on social media are getting lost in the noise ๐Ÿ’ฌ. it's all about balance, right? we need to support each other and amplify each other's voices ๐Ÿ”Š especially when it comes to those conservative voices that dominate the online space ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ
 
The underrepresentation of progressive women on social media is a paradigmatic example of how patriarchal structures can perpetuate their own silencing. ๐Ÿค” The proliferation of right-wing tradwives online is not only a manifestation of the entrenched conservatism in our societal landscape, but also highlights the need for more nuanced discussions around femininity and social justice.

Meanwhile, the revitalization of pie and mash shops in London serves as a fascinating microcosm of urban regeneration and community-driven initiatives. The protected status push could potentially mitigate the devastating impact of gentrification on these beloved institutions. ๐Ÿฅง

The emergence of Muslim New York as a cultural hub is a testament to the resilience and creativity of marginalized communities, who continue to defy stereotypes and Islamophobia in pursuit of their artistic and political voices.

However, the rise of "one-person romance fraud" is a stark reminder that our online platforms are breeding grounds for exploitation and vulnerability. ๐Ÿšจ

Lastly, Margaret Calvert's enduring legacy as a design icon underscores the importance of emotional expression and vulnerability in mental health discourse. It's heartening to see clinical psychologists like Stephen Blumenthal working to challenge the stigma surrounding men's emotional labor ๐Ÿ’•.
 
omg this is so true ๐Ÿคฏ i mean we need more voices on social media esp from women who aren't afraid to speak up about their opinions & stuff ๐Ÿ™Œ but its like they're always being drowned out by ppl with more followers & influence lol meanwhile these pie and mash shops in london are literally dying ๐Ÿ˜ญ it would be awesome if they got some love & support tho

i also loved learning about muslim new york it sounds so cool ๐Ÿ‘Œ i wish we could celebrate our diversity a bit more but sadly there are still ppl who get scared of what they dont know ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ anyway

and oh girl one person romance fraud is like literally the worst ๐Ÿ’” u gotta be careful when u meet someone online lol and btw margaret calvert is like a legend ๐Ÿ’– her designs r iconic tho
 
I'm all for supporting these progressive women online ๐Ÿค—, but let's be real, they need to keep pushing boundaries and not back down from a fight ๐Ÿ’โ€โ™€๏ธ. It's frustrating when right-wing tradwives hijack the conversation with their sexist ideologies ๐Ÿšซ. We need more nuanced discussions about feminism and equality.

Those pie and mash shops in London are a sad state ๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿ˜ข, I mean, who doesn't love a good plate of jellied eels? ๐Ÿคค But seriously, if social media attention and protected status can save them, then let's do it ๐Ÿ’ช. And yeah, Muslim New York is killing the cultural scene ๐Ÿ”ฅ, but we need to keep amplifying their voices and not letting Islamophobia hold them back.

The "one-person romance fraud" issue needs more serious attention ๐Ÿšจ, I mean, who loses everything to a scammer? It's just not right. And on a lighter note, Margaret Calvert's designs are genius ๐Ÿ‘, but let's also talk about the stigma around men seeking therapy ๐Ÿ’ฌ. Maybe we need to normalize mental health discussions even more ๐Ÿค.
 
I'm getting so frustrated seeing all these great female voices being drowned out by sexist tradwives online ๐Ÿ˜’. It's like, we need more women speaking up on issues like equality and feminism โ€“ not less! ๐Ÿ™…โ€โ™€๏ธ Can't we just have a conversation about this stuff without the hate? ๐Ÿ’”

But, at least some good news is that those adorable pie 'n' mash shops in London are still kicking โ€“ fingers crossed they stay open! ๐Ÿด And it's awesome to see Muslim NYC thriving as a cultural hub ๐ŸŽจ. We need more representation and voices like these in mainstream media.

And, let's talk about online safety... "one-person romance fraud" is so common now ๐Ÿ˜ฉ, but law enforcement needs to step up their game and take it seriously. We can't keep letting people get scammed out of their lives ๐Ÿ’ธ.

Lastly, Margaret Calvert's design legacy is still inspiring us today ๐ŸŽฏ. It's crazy that men are still afraid to talk about their feelings because of societal norms... therapy should be for everyone! ๐Ÿค
 
omg u can feel how much struggle liberal women r facing online rn? its like they r fighting a war but nobody's giving them the mic ๐Ÿคฏ i mean i love seeing all these awesome progressive women using social media 2 spread their message & inspire others, but honestly its so sad that right-wing tradwives are always trying 2 drown them out with sexist comments ๐Ÿ˜’

anywayz lets talk bout pie n mash shops in london - thats some crazy news! i remember goin 2 those places with my friends back in da day and now they r all closin down? ๐Ÿค” maybe social media attention & protected status will save them tho

& lastly margaret calvert is just the queen ๐Ÿ‘‘ her designs r still killin it in britain & i love how she broke barriers 4 women in design. maybe if we taught men 2 be more emotional about it too, therapy wouldn't b so stigmatized ๐Ÿค
 
I feel so bad for those women who are being silenced online by people with sexist views ๐Ÿค•. It's like, they're just trying to express themselves and share their ideas, but it's like hitting a brick wall ๐ŸŒณ. We need more spaces where liberal voices can be heard and respected, you know? ๐Ÿ‘
 
Ugh I'm so sick of social media being a male-dominated space ๐Ÿ˜’ it's like no one's paying attention to all these amazing progressive women who are trying to make a difference but get lost in the noise... and can we please talk about how pie and mash shops are basically a NYC institution? ๐Ÿฅง 30 shops down, it's like they're being erased from history! And what's up with "one-person romance fraud" not getting taken seriously enough? ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ I know someone who got scammed online too, and it was so frustrating watching all the guys just walk away ๐Ÿšซ
 
it's kinda wild that progressive women are having a hard time getting their voices heard online when it feels like the opposite is happening with right-wing tradwives spreading sexist ideologies... ๐Ÿค” meanwhile, i'm loving the resurgence of pie and mash shops in london - can you imagine what our streets would be like without them? ๐Ÿ˜ on a more serious note, the rise of "one-person romance fraud" is super concerning and law enforcement needs to step up its game to protect people online. and btw, have you seen margaret calvert's work? she was a total pioneer in design ๐Ÿ™Œ
