An Art World Stand Against Rising Fascism
It is nice to see anyone in the worlds of art and entertainment taking a stand against the RISING FASCIST ELEMENTS OF OUR CULTURE, knowing full-well that in doing so they will anger some really bad people who crave power and control over others.
It is my sincerest wish to see not just the museum in the article, but others in leadership positions at not only art museums, but in film and TV studios, publishers of books and comic books and video game producers to do likewise and REFUSE TO BE BULLIED.

Invisible Disabilities Week – My Story
I just learned today that it is Invisible Disabilities Week. As someone who has spent her whole adult life with an invisible disability, I thought I would share this ‘short’ anecdote on what it is like to look strong and healthy but struggle with a pain and disability that is not obvious to the casual observer. I know I promised short, but this wasn’t planned and you know me, this could go on a bit, for which I apologise in advance – but there are some nice photos too (and yes, that is a packet of crisps in front of me!)
Many moons ago, in a county far, far away, I had a prolapsed disc that refused to heal. I was in my early twenties with a toddler son, had spent a couple of months in bed on the advice of my doctor but could not get moving. I did…

How To Overcome Your Disability
If life were a game, ‘abilities’ would be the tokens we collect to advance ourselves. Abilities are the bronze coins, they are the pennies. We all have them stored away, but they are nothing like the gold coins we prize; they are commonplace.
