Bye Bye Intersectionalism
It was the best of tweets, it was the worst of tweets…. I like to use Twitter and blogs to explore the ideas that interest me. A while back I decided to educate myself more about feminism, in the wake of a bizarre and complicated run-in that I had with a prominent member of the […]
The Geoffrey Pick Case: The UK Council for Psychotherapy Responds

Geoffrey Pick, UKCP and the Arbours Association: A Failure of Safeguarding
April 15, 2013
[Trigger warning: sexual abuse] A few days ago I broke the news that a psychotherapist, Geoffrey Pick, had been allowed to return to practice after sexually exploiting a patient.

I had already accessed Duty Psychiatry earlier on in […]
We repent! This government is great!
April 1, 2013
On behalf of Ermintrude2, Abe Laurens, Bonklesoul, Celtic Knot and those others who have contributed to the Not So Big Society, we would all like to make a formal apology for our criticisms of the coalition government.
