• 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.

    Forgive my denseness, or ignorance, Kelvin – but what are the white bits?! Feathers? Rose petals? No, you could never throw them that high. Have you opened a magnum of superbubbly? – Whatever they are / it is, it looks lovely!

  • 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.
