The Sleepover Club: In Defence Of Gossip

With lockdown causing the world to become suspiciously gossip free, this week Ione and Olivia are writing a love letter to their favourite thing in the world: having a good old gossip. Discussing everything from the difference between gossip and news to why gossip is essential for marginalised people — and therefore feared by the patriarchy; the pair deep dive into the importance of gossip and the need to take it seriously.On hand to give us three things to get us through this week is Birdsong founder Sophie Slater, be sure to check our their Patreon and support ethical fashion.What do you think of gossip?
