When life closes a door, it opens a window. And if the fall is too steep, use the fire exit. Run to the roof -- you always have that airship on the dock. The most important thing is to keep moving. Keep dreaming.

I'm making one last push to let people know about this online talk -- sponsored by the British Library in conjunction with their current exhibition on fairy tales. The live stream starts at 7:30 tonight, but if you buy a ticket *before* the event you can watch it any time over the next 7 days.

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

*Every* single time a politician uses the phrase "Jumping the queue" with respect to migrants as James Cleverly has just done they should immediately be asked "What queue?" and the journalist should insist on the details of how people can join this queue.

There is NO way of doing a meaningful conversion therapy ban in the UK in 2025. Conversion practices are fundamental to the NHS under 18s healthcare service. Criminal ban on medication + Transition denied + Search for alternative cause + Mandatory identity investigation = conversive practice.
