A couple more by him. I can imagine the cottage garden one on the cover of a nice Virago paperback - maybe by Elizabeth Taylor or Barbara Comyns - from 1978 or 1979.

Oh wow, someone with intolerant views about one demographic turns out to have intolerant views about another? Weird, that continues to be a clean sweep.

Kathleen Stock arguing for the police to do more race based stereotyping on sex crimes despite the fact that we know full well that sex abuse happens among all ethnic groups.

By refusing to see that ethnicity matters we fail grooming victims again
A wide-angle inquiry will not bring this appalling scandal into focus

I've got a joke about Daphne, but it branched out.
I've got a joke about Proteus, but it keeps changing and I can't get a grip on it.
I’ve got a joke about Eurydice, but one shouldn’t look back.

BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year.
Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.

Important thread.
My head hurts reading the Israeli interpretations of Irish history. It’s disturbing to see so much pseudohistory deployed in order to [as our president noted] declare everyone Irish, everywhere, ‘antisemitic’.

An #author builds an audience one reader at a time. Reviews are our"word of mouth", the apparatus that opens the door to other readers. It's like singing an opera in an airport...most will walk past, but the louder you sing, the more people stop to listen...

I wrote this about Chris McCausland last week. Tonight’s the final and we have literally bought a new television for it - like people did for the coronation in 1953.

In the woman’s restroom near the protests many women have left snacks, masks, and sanitary pads to help others. Protests in Korea since the authoritarian era have been very communal events. Some who cannot make it to the protest have been paying for coffee and hot packs for hands
여자는 여자를 돕는다. 이런 집회 나오면 절실히 느낌. 지하철역 화장실에 가득한 나눔 물품. 생리대며 간식이며 마스크등등. 젊은 나이대들이 이런 물품 나누기 적극적. 좋은 소식있기를.
