• The Hegemony Asserts Itself

    Every day, the straight heterosexist hegemony manages to find new ways to assert its dominance over all who do not share its presumptions.

    Today, hangers on the back of an hotel room door.

    Every day something different.

    you forgot to mention that light boxes work much better in proper offices, rather than those shared with cats.

    Oh, that’s one of those PhD theses never yet completed: Symbiosis and Stasis – the effect of cats on lightboxes, the effect of lightboxes on cats and the effects of each on those living with Seasonally Affective Disorder.

    According to those posters on the underground, catowners are apparently more stress-free and content and the norm so, surely, a cat AND light box owner ought to be chirpy as Santa Clause!

    Thanks Coxy. Can I also saw how much I am in awe of your Church Times Page 3 Stunner success this week.

    A media triumph.

We now have a new Provincial Whole Church Mission and Ministry Policy to absorb. It is fourteen pages long and has some good things in it. Like lots of long documents, it also has…

  • The Syrian Lesbian Blogger Story

    Most people will be familiar with the details by now.  A forty year old straight American male based in Edinburgh wrote a blog which purported to be written by a Syrian lesbian woman. And it took a lot of people in. It is an interesting story on a number of levels. There has been a…

  • Clergy Morale

    Anne has posted about the all too palpable sense of low morale amongst the clergy which she notices at General Synod last week. She reports that she is working on a CMD handbook. I think that it might be worth trying to think about the things which contribute to lower morale. One thing which came…
