If it wasn’t for the heroic efforts of thousands of trees like this, our nation’s rivers would be at a standstill

I've written about Samaritans, and why they're so good, and why I'm concerned about the charity's plans www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I was a Samaritan – I love Samaritans. But for the sake of all who take those calls, it must change course | Peter Ormerod
Branches to close, volunteers in ‘regional hubs’, some working from home. It will be bad for them and for the desperate people seeking help, says journalist Peter Ormerod

Every Easter. Never grows old. 🐣
This cartoon, by nakedpastor (David Hayward), humorously and critically comments on gender roles in Christianity, particularly in the context of the resurrection of Jesus. It shows a group of women on one side and a large group of men on the other. One of the men says:

“So ladies, thanks for being the first to witness and report the resurrection and we’ll take it from here.”

The cartoon highlights the irony that, according to the Gospels, women were the first to witness and proclaim the resurrection of Jesus—yet their role has often been minimized or sidelined in church history and leadership. It’s a pointed critique of patriarchal tendencies within religious institutions, despite the foundational importance of women in the story.

#GiselePelicot is the hero of 2024. But the question remains- how can there be so many men willing to rape a comatose woman, within a 20 mile radius of a small country town?

Me: I deserve a nice big glass of wine tonight. It’s been a long week. My brain: It’s only Tuesday. Me: Who the fuck asked you.

www.whichcandidate.ie Always enjoyable. Although few surprises for me in results, the candidate responses gave extra nuance and helped me figure out my 1-4 votes.

Katalin Karikó left Hungary, sewing £900 into her daughter's teddy bear. Her research into mRNA was a lonely path - funding repeatedly denied, she scratched out a living on the fringes of academia. Years later, BioNTech took notice. Today, she won the Nobel Prize. www.nytimes.com/2021/04/08/h...
