3 d. ago What happened next: The We Do Not Care Club – how a funny, furious feminist movement began

Melani Sanders was frazzled and sleep-deprived, and wondered whether other menopausal women were going through the same thing. So she put her feelings on camera. The answer was immediate ...If you’re a woman of a certain age with a phone, you’ve probably seen one of Melani Sanders’ We Do Not Care Club posts. In a fleecy dressing gown with reading glasses hanging off her like Christmas tree baubles, a sleep mask wonkily on her forehead, Sanders stares deadpan at the camera. “We are putting the world on notice that we simply do not care much any more,” she says. She uncaps a highlighter with her teeth, spitting the lid out of shot, then starts flatly listing stuff members of the We Do Not Care Club, her virtual community of menopausal women, don’t care about. “We do not care we have to go to therapy weekly; you are probably the reason we are there.” “We do not care if we asked you the question 13 times.

My research on social media shows high levels of misinformation and disconnect. Here’s how to talk to kith and kin this week without tears and tantrumsDr Kaitlyn Regehr is the programme director of digital humanities at University College LondonDecember: a time of cultural rituals around food, gathering and taking to TikTok to bemoan bigoted relatives.
