Perhaps now finally we can start paying attention to the billionaire funding of 'racial science' (fraud discipline) & white supremacist networks in the UK, including a branch at Cambridge? Nathan Cofnas is a small, albeit hideous cog, in a much bigger wheel.

This is correct: Farage was recruited by the press to 1) front up their endless outrage campaigns over nothing, and 2) troll the Tories from the right. Under no circumstances was he employed to 3) become the editors’ boss and control things like press regulation. So they’re revoking his legitimacy.

I wrote a thing for @shibbolethmag.bsky.social and they were very kind about it. Then I subscribed because the values on the page were calling out to me. Also Midna struggles a bit with all the words but it turns out she loves a good picture by @nakedpastor.bsky.social

The head and shoulders of a fuzzy black cat are in the foreground. The cat is facing away from the camera and looking towards an open magazine, the pages of which have several illustrations alongside a few paragraphs of writing.

The top of the image shows a painting of a woman leaning with her face down and her head wresting on her arm outstretched across a table. Their are white letter underneath her reading The Imperfect Way. Beneath the painting there is a black background with a picture of a woman's face and shoulders. She has longish brown hair and is smiling at the camera. The writing next to her reads Joy Brooks on finding a path through a burning world. At the bottom of the picture the white writing reads SHIBBOLETHmag.com

I'm a very flawed feminist, not an official theologian (whatever that is) and stubbornly agnostic. Which is all to say that this gathering of people is for anyone who thinks that feminist theology could have something to offer them as they consider their faith and/or spirituality.

Poster advertising an online gathering which is part of Anna Robinson's Faith Shift Conversations. The topic is feminist theology and it is on Sunday 31st May between 4-6pm.
