please read & share: my new article on Medium about being uninvited from irish TV. (Patreon)

{patron only}

good morning comrades.

i won't lie. the show in cork last night was hard. there was some (drunken?, but still) shock in the audience when i discussed abortion so openly. it was...well, it was hard. 

i am out of my comfort zone, and my comfort zone is wide.

on top of that, i didn't do my usual show prep, because i was zooming around trying to draw attention to the abortion rights campaign tables that weren't allowed to set up in the lobby of the venue. 

meanwhile....

i just published a huge article on medium about getting an invitation from the late late show (ireland's biggest chat show) and then getting uninivted when i pushed back about their refusal to let me play "voicemail for jill".

if you saw my twitter feed, you may have known this was happening, and i spoke about this at the cork show last night.

it's a hard one. the late late show will probably tell the world that their schedule just shifted. maybe that's true. but maybe it's bullshit. i'll never know.

off the internet record please, because i don't want to burn further bridges: i was going to post this article on medium yesterday, but then the irish times offered to publish it. 

then they got cold feet and changed their minds. 

i am surrounded by cold feet here in ireland.  

so please.....please....go read it, and share it. 

PLEASE share it. share it a lot.

this link will work for anyone, even if you've used up for complimentary articles:

if you don't have a medium account, please start one. medium is GREAT and i'm going to be using it a lot in the next year to publish material..especially this upcoming long-read opress about the tour that jack & gaby are working on. please follow my account...and also: clap for the article down at the bottom. the more engagement the article gets, the more it shoves itself up the algorithmic pyramid. 

i have been working on this article for about five or six days, in the cracks. i considered thinging it (i've thing'ed essays and projects that i've sepnt less time on) but it just felt ... like that wasn't the right thing to do. 

neil stayed up way past his bedtime the other night helpng me edit it, word things delicately, get the tone right. i love him. gabrielle, max melton and jack nicholls all gave me feedback, and hayley helped me with the links and final layout. 

i am so grateful to all of you.

see you in dublin tonight.

i will be ready.
