Are there academic studies on an increase in paid working time (across genders) and this being a factor in less capacity for voluntary organisations (like churches)?

Fixed it for you. Idiots! If the exclusion is based on appearance then it will certainly impact cis folks as well as trans folks.

I have a lot of thoughts about interfaith work in the UK... most of them kinda negative, but not well thought through enough yet.

It's cold outside and there's a cat on my lap. I don’t want to move but there's an interfaith event I gotta go to.

"Blessed are the peacemakers"
Sitting in a police cell after arrest at a peaceful protest is a lonely experience.
But please know you are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses. You are not alone but in a great community of those who have sought justice and witnessed to a better world.

God bless everyone arrested today at the Senedd and elsewhere. You are building a better world with your actions and opposing the Empire of violence and lies. I will be praying for you over the next few hours as you sit in cells. You are not alone.

Arrest at the Senedd today.

Multiple arrests at the Senedd. Where are our MSs to witness this attack on Welsh democracy?

Have protesters ever been arrested on the Senedd steps before today?
