To my surprise, the restaurant seemed really popular this particular day. And as if the sim Gods were trying to tell me something, Iris showed up there as well. So I just had to get Benjamin to talk to her again! After all, he had the wishes to kiss, make out and woohoo with her from the day before *cough cough*

Maureen Duffy was born in in Worthing, Sussex, in 1933. She grew up in a working class household where her mother instilled in her the belief that education was something that could never be taken away from you, no matter how the tides might turn. Duffy took a degree in English from King’s College, London in 1956.

Duffy had an ambition to be a poet, and at 17, won her first poetry prize. While studying at Kings College she completed her first full-length play Pearson which won her an invitation to join the Royal Court Writers Group in 1958 whose members included Edward Bon, Ann Jellico and William Gaskill, amongst others.

After graduating from Kings College, Duffy worked as a teacher between 1956 and 1961 in Naples and London, while also editing editions of poetry journals.

Duffy is the author of 34 published works crossing fiction and non-fiction. Her works include nine collections of poetry and 16 plays for stage, screen and radio.

Duffy, together with Brigid Brophy, founded the Writers Action Group in 1972, through which a sustained campaign was led for Public Lending Right (annual payments for authors based on the number of library loans of their printed books), which was passed into law in 1979.

Duffy is a founding member of the Authors Licensing and Collecting Society, which she chaired for 15 years and for which she remains president. She represents the International Authors Forum at the World intellectual Property Organization and held senior positions in the Writers’ Guild of Great Britain.

Duffy ‘came-out’ in the early 1960s and worked with the Homosexual Law Reform Society, which was leading the fight to implement the Wolfenden Report’s recommendations to decriminalise homosexuality. Duffy would write and be involved with the Minorities Research Group and Arena Three magazine, the first lesbian journal in the UK, although she found her place socially within Kenric, the west-London lesbian social group.

In 1966 The Microcosm was published – her first openly lesbian work. The novel narrates the lives of women in and around the famous and legendary Gateways club in London’s then-enclave of bohemia, Chelsea.

In the 1970s Duffy wrote for Sappho, the longest running lesbian feminist journal in the UK. In 1977 she published her poem The Ballad of the Blasphemy Trail which lambasted the case of blasphemy brought against Denis Lemon and the publication he edited, Gay News, by Christian campaigner Mary Whitehouse.

Duffy remains a vocal LGBTQ and animal right activist.

Week 0: The Wright’s Cup

The 2019-20 Quidditch season in the UK kicked off Saturday with the traditional meeting between the League winner and Cup winner from last year.  In a sometimes pulsating, sometimes stodgy affair, Cup holders Ballycastle defeated League champions Puddlemere United by a score of 320-210.  United Chaser David Duffy led all scorers with 12 goals, while Ballycastle Seeker Brigid O’Neill caught the Snitch just in time for afternoon tea.

The Wright’s Cup, named after Bowman Wright (inventor of the Golden Snitch), is sometimes viewed merely as an exhibition, but some managers take the opportunity to signal their intent for the coming season.  Puddlemere manager Alf Winterbottom introduced two of his summer signings for the match—Beater Simon Henderson and Chaser Sarah Moore—while Ballycastle’s Colin Sweeney put out the same starting seven that won them the Cup last year.  And Ballycastle’s play for continuity paid off over the first hour, streaking to a 70-10 lead.

However, United’s new players soon got their brooms under them, with Moore scoring three goals in quick succession, and Henderson temporarily sidelining Ballycastle’s Chaser Liam Cantwell with a crunching Bludger to the torso.  As the Snitch continued to elude capture, the match became a bit staid.  The Chasers began to tire in the sweltering afternoon heat, and both Keepers settled into their work by making a number of saves—including an acrobatic kick-save from Ballycastle’s Patrick McGovern.  

As the match went on, though, Puddlemere showed why they were last season’s champions: solid defense and reliable offense.  Beaters Henderson and Lars Lundström consistently kept Ballycastle’s Chasers hesitant, and United Chasers Duffy and Glenn Stephens began to heat up.  But then, just as the momentum seemed to have fully shifted, with United’s having taken a 40-point lead with the last of Duffy’s 12 goals, Ballycastle’s O’Neill spotted the Snitch under the United goal posts and captured it after a slick dive.  

Following the match, O’Neill noted that United’s Seeker Jaime Garcia seemed a bit tired, thus possibly giving her a bit of an advantage; however, as she noted, “This is what we’ve been training for all summer.”  Puddlemere manager Winterbottom was not bothered by the defeat, however: “We were grateful to escape the match without significant injuries, and Ballycastle gave us an excellent reminder of the level that we will face in the League this season.  On to Wigtown!”

In an exciting start to the regular season this coming weekend, both teams open their campaigns with derbies.  First, on Saturday, United travel to Wigtown for a renewal of the two teams’ historic rivalry and a beginning of Puddlemere’s title defense.  Then, on Sunday, Ballycastle defend the The Cave against Kenmare in the first Irish derby of the season.

Thanks to the heroic work of Catherine Corless, here are the names of the seven hundred and ninety-six children who died in a Tuam mother and baby home run by the Catholic Church in collusion with the government in Ireland, and whose bodies were thrown into a septic tank at the site pictured above. 

This was one mother and baby home. There is evidence to suggest that we can expect similar results from the many other Irish mother and baby homes (and this is without talking about Magdalene Laundries).

I’m not putting any of this under a Read More link. I’m just not.

Why, then, are most contemporary, politically acute avant-garde writers coming through poetry, performance, art, film, you name it, and not prose literature? Let’s take as an example just one of the many exclusions where identity and innovation failed to coalesce in UK literature: queer avant-garde fiction. Queer and trans avant-garde performance (Travis Alabanza, David Hoyle, Le Gateau Chocolat, Scottee, Victoria Sin), film (John Akomfrah, Campbell X), art (Richard Dodwell, Evan Ifekoya, Charlotte Prodger), photography (Christa Holka, Jacob Love, Holly Revell), and more recently poetry (Jay Bernard, Steven J. Fowler, Nat Raha, Sophie Robinson, Timothy Thornton) are positively THRIVING in contemporary Britain. In contrast, there is hardly any queer avant-garde fiction. Neither has there been a significant tradition: historically, British queer experimental novels are scarce (Brigid Brophy’s In Transit, 1969, and Maureen Duffy’s The Microcosm, 1966, are exceptions). And despite their popularity, Ali Smith’s subtly experimental novels have yet to pave the way for more radically queer (or BAME, or working-class) literary experimentation. So why are queerness and experimentation thriving in British poetry and the other arts, and not in fiction? Between 1981 and ’86, the Labour-run Greater London Council developed a funding policy supporting multi-ethnic and community arts, which was instrumental in the emergence of the influential Black Audio Film Collective, for example. Also, the newly founded public service broadcaster Channel 4 became noted for its experimental programming, facilitating wide-scale distribution of gay and working-class British films or TV shows, e.g. performance artist David Hoyle’s The Divine David Presents and The Divine David Heals (1998-2000). These conditions enabled marginalised experimental forms in disciplines such as film, art and performance to emerge and, if not thrive, survive, in the UK since the 1980s. Was funding and development support available to literature in the same way, and if so, why is there no diverse legacy of British experimental fiction? In terms of racial inclusion in publishing, the Greater Access to Publishing group (GAP) campaigned for more BAME personnel in the UK publishing workforce in the ’80s, and the Arts Council initiated publishing apprenticeships at various points in the ’80s, ’90s, ’00s, until now. But the few BAME editors that came through had to be overly mindful that the BAME writers they commissioned (from Oxbridge, always) were commercially viable, so as not to reinforce the presumption that ‘black books don’t sell’. Black experimental works did not fall under this category (commercial), which is, of course, another presumption (‘experimental books don’t sell’). The conditions of (im)possibility that prevented the emergence of BAME, LGBTQI, women’s, or working-class experimental literatures in Britain historically are many-layered and underresearched. But the structures I discuss in this intro (genre, form and discipline) have something to do with it (literature’s extraordinary resistance to diversification and innovation). We’re back to this (classist) high and low culture thing.

Snuggford Characters as John Mulaney Quotes, Part 2

Amber Hope: Sometimes...I get nervous...on airplanes...

Patrick O'Malley: "My wife" just has some kick-ass to it, you know?

Evelyn Napoli: This is an on fire garbage can. Could be a nursery.

Edward Napoli: And in the back of my head, I was like, “I was never the alpha of the house.”

Antonio Napoli: My dad loved us. He just didn’t care about our general happiness or self-esteem.

Brigid Duffy: You know, I'm Irish, and Irish people, they don't tell you a thing. Irish people keep it so bottled up. You know, like, the plan with Irish people is, "I'll keep all my emotions right here, and then one day I'll die."

Daniel Summers: Expecting to see, like, a hundred year old blind dog who's texting while driving and drinking a smoothie. Instead, they see a twenty-eight-year-old healthy man trying his best.

Connor McCoy: You know how I'm filled with rage? I’m so horny and angry all the time, and I have no outlet for it. So...eggs.

Ruth Phelps: Hey, do you want me to kill that guy for you? Because it sounds like he sucks and I will totally kill that guy for you. Okay, see you at improv practice.

Jenny Garcia: I'm really sorry about last night, it's just that I'm mean and loud. It probably will happen again.

Kitty Jackson: First off, get out of here with your facts. Just 'cause you're accurate does not mean you're interesting.

Virginia Hills: I didn't know relationships were supposed to make you feel better about yourself.

Jack Hawkins: I don't look older. I just look worse, I think.

[incorrectsnuggfordquotes]

Oh, if I wasn't such a mean old biddy, I'd break right down and cry.

Brigid Duffy

At Disneyland, in the teacups

Evelyn and Brigid: *spinning a little and talking*

Edward and Antonio: *fly past them spinning as fast as they can, screaming*

[incorrectsnuggfordquotes]

Antonio: You have feelings for me?

Brigid: Yeah...but it's kinda disrupting my whole heartless bitch vibe, so I don't know.

[incorrectsnuggfordquotes]

I swear, every time I'm in a room with that man, he stares at me constantly.  It's like I'm a traffic accident and he just can't look away.
