"In the 90s & 2000s the alcohol industry zeroed in on female drinkers, using female empowerment and liberation as a marketing tool... now it is pushing things like prosecco, “gin o’clock” & “wine time” as a way for women to relax and practise self-care after a hard day."

@RamzeeRawkz Would whole-heartedly recommend this documentary about another working class creative queen - Tish Murtha. It’s devastating in its understanding that so many in her community & family could’ve burned brightly if it weren’t for place, politics & money.
