Wish I was at this lunch

How great would it be to hang out with "the witches they couldn't burn"

Those photos are so joyful and full of care for each other. I guess that's why certain people are absolutely full of rage on Twitter.

Not a lesbian but I've had a crush on Liane ever since that demo where the iconic picture of her was taken.

These photos make me really happy and quite emotional.
The bravery and tenacity of those women, doing this for all women.

I keep hoping there'll be some event, a call to all women where we can converge and celebrate and chant "JK Rowling" and thank these women and all women.

I was with my 75 year old telegraph reading mother at the weekend who said "I've never marched for anything in my life but I'd march for the definition of a women."

I'd love something to be organised!!
A very big lunch 😁!

I love how public they have been with the pictures, they know the message it sends. It's wonderful to see them being joyful whilst sending such a powerful message.

These photos have totally made my day. So happy to see these great women together.

I would have been happy just to be a fly on the wall. Solidarity!

Oh wow I bet they're really fun to hang out with, as well as being brave, intelligent, and genuinely progressive. Huge crushes!

Fabulous women ❤️

It's really bringing out the worst in some on Twitter. Clearly touched a nerve with India W. And have you seen Rosie Jones' reaction? Actually shocking.

What, Rosie's 'angry, mad cry'? 🙄

I hadn't seen the photo of Liane until yesterday. She's utterly brilliant - in that photo she gave absolutely 0 fucks.

Some genius on Twitter was citing that as evidence that Liane was an ex-TRA.

The page is down so I can't access the glorious tweets. This makes me wish I'd not taken down my GC post on SM yesterday. I need more of their bravery.

I agree, I’ve never seen a picture of JK looking so informal. They really do send such an important message, she’s not shutting up and she’s going nowhere.

What are they saying @musicalfrog I am not on Twitter

@EmpressaurusWitchDoesntBurn

Could you not send one of your little wingéd cherubs with a message, Datun? It would be a bit like owl post. Suzanne Moore’s said she’s going to write about it in the Telegraph tomorrow.

Suzanne Moore's article is here: www.telegraph.co.uk/women/life/truth-raucous-lunch-jk-rowling/

They were at The River Cafe apparently - very nice!

Maya Angelou reading Phenomenal Woman has you covered without a march.

@LuckySantangelo35 this was one of India's most spiteful,nasty tweets - mobile.twitter.com/IndiaWilloughby/status/1513542899367137282

Thanks @Waitwhat23

It’s is absolutely disgraceful, like you say such a nasty tweet

@Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g

This is the wonderful picture of Liane.

Damn, I wanted to show the picture of Liane again. It needs to be a poster, and if I were a young feminist again it would be blu-tacked up in pride of place on my wall.

Great photos of great women

Here's Jess de Wahls' embroidery of it. I wonder who was lucky enough to buy that!

That's embroidery?!

It's payday soon, I think I'll pre-order the latest Robert Galbraith. I'm currently reading her third and have her fourth waiting on the shelf. Ds is 7 and the right age for starting to read the Harry Potter series to him. I did it for his sisters when I was pregnant with him. I feel the need to buy supportive feminist items. JKR and covers just fecking awesome.

@LuckySantangelo35

I’ve attached a picture. There’s been some horrible misogyny and lesbophobia but this is just bonkers.

India what a tube she is and so jealous she wasn’t invited. So green with envy

The TRAS and allies are going quite nutty over this. Crying??? Really???

At least one of them had a stab at telling others "maybe don't be misogynistic" and tbf she did get some agreement, but also some disagreement. It's a start I suppose.

"Cannot be bothered to call out people individually, but some of you are far too comfortable making fun of the way gender critical women look. It's literally misogyny, guys. I know you're better than this."

Hate to say it, Rin, but a lot of them are not better than this.
