Sad to see the passing today of Jennifer Johnston. She was one of the first people I ever interviewed as a very very green student reporter and was immensely kind to me. www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle/ar...

This is well put. Arts organisations are paragons of how to do a lot on a shoestring. The sector is characterised by low wages, long hours, and sweating over funding decisions needed to keep the lights on, all while producing some world class work that makes the country a better place.

There are trans people who are faithful Catholics. I don't know how they do it. Some Catholics have a heart of stone excluding some people from the human love.

I'm writing a piece that advocates in part for more of this. This country's largest companies are a bad bet morally, but also increasingly fiscally.

Trump has sacked so many people at the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), which rules on “unfair labour practices”, that the agency can do nothing.

"The moment was captured yesterday at (CPAC) where Steve Bannon tossed off a Nazi salute and Musk appeared in a “Dark MAGA” baseball cap sporting a chainsaw and basking in the adulation of the MAGA/CPAC faithful awash in the joy a certain kind of individual derives from destruction and pain."

I warned people that not supporting Ukraine when Russia invaded it would strengthen global.fascism. Now USA and Russia are pals I fear this has happened. Any leftist that has bad geo politics go to hell.

The case of Dr Upton really sums up the UK’s relationship with trans. A daily barrage of abusive, demonising stories from those who are supposedly ‘cancelled’ , ‘silenced’ and powerless. On platforms such as BBCNews, Times, Express etc. On a ‘live’ hearing. Contempt laws ignored. Zero trans voices.

Wow huge news as my alma mater, the Institute for Christian Studies, disaffiliates from the Christian Reformed Church of North America over its exclusion of LGBTQ+ people. I'm so very proud of ICS, a rare institution of Christian higher ed with the courage of its convictions. letter.icscanada.edu
