I have recently been getting migraines that cause sight disturbances for 3 days at a time and my […]
For days I’ve been listening to the various sides of the gender argument calling for greater female representation on panels after a Yes group held an all-male panel. I think this is where I should mention that I’m both female and probably a bloody terrible feminist. I grew up with brothers.  A soldier, a lawyer […]
