To me there's nothing different in principle with a Catholic adoption agency, or indeed Methodist adoption agency, saying the rules in our community are different and therefore the law shouldn't apply to us.

One important reason to stay calm is that calm parents hear more. Low-key, accepting parents are the ones whose children keep talking. ↗

All these directors who do different locations forget that one room can be shot from a million different angles and a million different ways. When I direct a movie, I'm going to use that. ↗

Mathematics is the art of giving the same name to different things. ↗
