2 h. ago ‘We feel the pain but there is also joy’: the healing power of diasporic connection

The Legacies of Enslavement programme aims to atone for the Guardian’s past while highlighting the lasting impact of transatlantic slaveryIllustrations by Ngadi SmartSalvador, Bahia, Brazil. In capoeira – an art form whose origins were carried across the Black Atlantic by enslaved people, but which developed and grew into a cultural form of resistance in Brazil – we sometimes wish each other axé (pronounced “ah-shay”). In doing so, we would be bestowing on our interlocutor life force, vitality or just positive energy in the capoeira roda (circle where capoeira is played) or in life.The term is also used in Candomblé and Umbanda, syncretic afro-Brazilian religions with African roots. For me it also symbolises the ability to harness ancestral knowledge and energy to enrich the jogo (game of capoeira), embodying and paying tribute to those who kept the art form alive.

4 h. ago Sexting an old friend was exciting – but now I can’t face sleeping with my husband

The virtual sex life I enjoyed with someone else only made me realise what was missing at home. How can I make my marriage work again?I have been with my husband for 10 years and have previously never so much as looked in the direction of another man. We had a regular sex life but when an old school friend got back in touch, we began messaging each other and it quickly turned into sexting. The nudes and explicit, erotic messages I sent were completely out of character for me. We discussed plans to meet up for one night of selfish, illicit fun – free of spouses, children and responsibilities – but when I asked for clarity on where I stood, he said that we shouldn’t message any more. I was heartbroken. Now I don’t want to have sex with my husband because it is not exciting enough. What can I do to get my marriage back on track?Virtual sex can be risky and painful, and this experience has been very challenging for you. When sexting, it is important to remember that it belongs in the fa...

4 h. ago A lot of mums are angry at Chappell Roan. I just want her to come over and listen to me whinge | Molly Glassey

Whether you’re a parent or not, you should be able to talk candidly about how tough it is having kidsA few weeks ago I told my friend – a good friend – that I was considering having a third kid. The colour washed from her face, and before her filter could kick in she said: “Please don’t.” She corrected herself. “You don’t really want to, do you?” I realised she thought I was unhappy. She thought I regretted it all. She was wrong on both accounts, but I didn’t blame her for coming to such a stark conclusion.That friend was not Chappell Roan. But the pop star is being pelted with the internet equivalent of soiled nappies for saying “all [her] friends who have kids are in hell” and “she doesn’t know anyone who’s happy with children at her age”.

5 h. ago Story of a Murder by Hallie Rubenhold review – engrossing retelling of ‘the crime of the century’

This account of Dr Crippen’s notorious Edwardian-era killing shifts the focus to the women at the centre of the sordid taleOn the evening of 31 January 1910, two couples dined together at a house in Hilldrop Crescent, on the borders of Holloway, London. The hosts, Dr Crippen and his wife, Belle Elmore, had been entertaining their friends, Clara and Paul Martinetti, until the small hours. After some difficulty fetching a cab, the visitors headed home around 1.30am. It was the last time they, or anyone else, would see Elmore alive. When her colleagues at the Music Hall Ladies’ Guild made inquiries about their friend – she was treasurer of the organisation – Crippen told them she had gone off to America to deal with a family crisis. Some weeks later they were informed she had died of double pneumonia in Los Angeles.Thus was sparked an international murder case, one of the most notorious in Britain, later called “the crime of the century”. But Hallie Rubenhold’s engrossing account begin...
