Hi there, Michelle. *Great* apologizes for the long delay in writing. I was a little under the weather for the past couple days.

Chaulk one up for the good guys on this one. And a very "Nice Catch" to You, Ma'am. TYTY!

Great article by M Fanshawe. And I'm very sorry to "hear" about the death threats to M Cherry. Figures. Such pleasant people these activists are. Shame that being unpleasant is the *best* way to get things done these daze. TY again, Michelle.

TY, as always. :-)

Another wonderful round-up of wind-ups. Oxford? Weren't they an educational institution at one time? Now? I hope the new free speech tsar, Professor Ahmed, can knock some heads together over there. They can't bear to hear Ms. Stock? The mindless lead the brainless, and they both fall into an intellectual pit.

Again, good news about Ms. Cherry.

I hadn't thought about sensitivity readers harming people's brains, but Oxford kids tell the tale. What a world we live in these daze. Thank You, as always, for the enlightening articles and the nice pic. And sorry to "hear" You didn't see Your curlews. But understandable under the circumstances.

Hope You stay well. Me? Going back to sleep.
