Ella Fitzgerald was born with perfect pitch so precise that the band musicians she worked with would tune their instruments to her voice.

This week’s column. Some (not all) of the coverage I have seen of Myles Lewis Skelly over the last 10 days or so has bothered me. It’s clear many of us are still not mindful enough and do not take due care with language and framing when it comes to talking about black footballers 👇🏻

Most know what I think, been saying the same for years. From the black club, to the French club & now the all inclusive club.

When I hear “same old Arsenal always cheating” every week (& repeatedly when playing the leagues dirtiest team) I know where it comes from.

It’s deep rooted biases & isms.

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

Very proud of this programme of exhibitions over the next couple of months.

We only have 8.5 weeks in 2025 where the gallery is (currently) empty, which is great.

Any #lincolnshire based artists - the Carre Gallery in Sleaford has a call for submissions from young (14-21yo) Lincs based artists and photographers.

The gallery has funding from the local authority, which means participation in this group exhibition is free. Check the links in the post below:

So here’s the update. The billionaire owner of the Guardian preparing to get rid of a core part of the news org + 100 journalists.
If you’re a Guardian or Observer reader, please share this. The need for a strong, free & independent press couldn’t be greater. Yet, here it is.

Fun fact: If someone quotes a post of yours in a way that is unwelcome (as is commonplace on Twitter/X) there is a tool to combat the unwanted attention. Simply click the three dot menu on the quote post & click "Detach quote". This removes your post from their quote post. Useful to know, do share!
