George Michael hits #1 today in 1987 with “Faith”.
“.. It was very much about having faith in yourself,” he said. “It wasn’t a religious song at all — it was about believing in yourself when everything around you is changing and people are questioning what you’re doing.”

I am so proud to call Robin a friend. Shame on Brian Cox, whose wife is a virulent TERF bigot and his silence is utter complicity. Stop lionizing him. Please support Robin in every way possible when he announces his next move. He's a brilliant writer, a piss your pants funny comic+ a total mensch.
Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

I’m reminded of the story about the guy who dies in a flood and, when he gets to heaven, he asks God why he didn’t save him, and God responds, “I tried, but you kept sending away the people I sent to save you.” Like, I look at some people and wonder, “How in the fuck don’t you see the signs?”
