Just perfect. I paint since lockdown with absolute abandon never planning or knowing where it’s going. What joy ! Then surprise surprise…. Family & pals rather liked some of them. More joy !
RT @MichaelWarbur17: In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice.
Kurt Vonnegut was the only one to respond.
His reply was a doozy.

Are you in favour of Self ID ? Do you believe in safe spaces for biological women ?
RT @AyoCaesar: And the second thing is that relentless, noisy and disproportionate focus on these edge cases drowns out the real problems that trans people have to contend with. Things like workplace discrimination, lack of access to health and support services, and transphobic violence.

He should hold citizens assemblies & win over public support.

RT @tomhydecomposer: This is a victory in a battle, not the war. The decision is a suspension. The BBC still claim the issue is money ("a number of organisations came forward to offer alternative funding") when it is really about artistic vision, belief & public service. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-65063238

RT @EmmaCleobury: We mustn’t rest on our laurels. It’s only a suspension of the decision and they are ominously searching for ‘alternative funding models’. And no backtracking on cutting the orchestras. We must get @bbc to prize its classical music. The battle continues. #WeAreTheBBCSingers

What an amazing act of European solidarity. Radio choirs from across Europe write to defend BBC Singers. @BBC are you listening ? @PetrocTrelawny @EmmaCleobury
RT @spconnolly: I await the BBC ‘s decision tomorrow @Lornaatwork @SimonWebb_ which hopefully will reinstate the @BBCSingers . You had no idea what you were doing or how important this choir is (obviously no prior research was done ). Meanwhile there’s this.
