Bless ya, Michele. I thought so ;). In the old days of cultural studies - that would be pretty mild. But now - we see so much gatekeeping and pearl clutching. Pearl-clutching gatekeepers, indeed. Next life - that's the name of my goth band ;)

Thanks Michele. The article title meant some were offended. That restricted the circulation of the research. Amazingly, the offensive actions continue - but researching and writing about those offensive actions gives citizens an attack of the (patriarchal equivalent of) the Victorian Vapours ;) tx

Ditto, My Queen :) txxx

You are the best, Jane. Thank you for sharing so many of your beautiful walks with me. You carry me around the world :). All my love and hopes - always. txxx

Thank you so much, Karen - all my respects and hopes to you. txxx

I love that, Michele. Tiny and mighty. And that thread of connectivity between us all. Thank you for your kind repost. Lovely to be connected with you here :) txxx

Thanks mate. I am very happy to wheelbarrow and shovel hope in your direction. Thank you for your kindness :) txxx

Thank you so much, Karen. It is book 21 (!!!) - but each of them are a thrill. This one offers - I hope - a way for people who have suffered and are suffering to get upright - organized - positive - centred. That makes all the early mornings worthwhile ;). Thank you for being you. txxx
