“All who make idols are nothing, and the things they treasure are worthless. Those who would speak up for them are blind; they are ignorant, to their own shame.” Isaiah 44:9

PS hate to direct you to AI but it did simplify the search ☺️ you might find a YouTube video if you search yourself. Good luck!

Here’s AI’s answer … worth a try (I searched ‘convert scrivener to word footnotes’):

I did wonder just how many footnotes we were talking … 😰 hope you can find a simpler solution

I don’t know how to fix existing footnotes post-export but is it worth recreating the footnotes (copying & pasting existing text but inserting new footnotes)? In the menu at the top of Word click Insert & then Footnote (you can then choose format). They should update chronologically as you add them.

I very rarely post a link to someone else's newsletter...as I have my own. This, however...is a MUST see.

Mango can be good but best to go when new stock arrives (and bring a bunch of style and size options to the change room)

hi I lost my job & am struggling to find a new one. in the meantime, I’m free for novel manuscript consults. It’s a great joy of my life to offer these & I like to think I do a pretty damn good job.

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

I had the great honour of chatting to @sineadeoshea.bsky.social for Image.ie ahead of the release of her extraordinary documentary, Blue Road. Have a gander over on www.image.ie/living/sinea... and more importantly, go see this amazing film and take Sinéad’s advice about reading Edna O’Brien’s work.

This is the only flag I’m flying today. For Janey. #Trumpisacunt Let’s make it trend.

And there it is. Scam and grift revealed. Watch who gets rich off this. Interested also to see how legacy media covers this, which has been putrid so far.

Magazine cover with an illustration of an old-fashioned Christmas Toy Shop. There are kids leaving the shop with their mum, they've just got new teddies, while a dad holds his kid on his shoulders, looking in to the toys in the window. A dog also looks in on his hind legs. The cover reads RTÉ Guide.

Well, the news is well and truly out there, I did indeed do a wee drawing for the RTÉ Guide✨
I am impatiently awaiting its arrival and am very excited to see it in real life.
It was an absolute joy to work on and brought so much Christmas wonder and magic along as the days got shorter. 💛

The following is the text of the email that Penelope Hegseth sent to her son, Pete Hegseth, on April 30, 2018, as he was in the middle of divorcing his wife, Samantha. One sentence was redacted by The New York Times for privacy reasons.

Son, I have tried to keep quiet about your character and behavior, but after listening to the way you made Samantha feel today, I cannot stay silent. And as a woman and your mother I feel I must speak out.. You are an abuser of women — that is the ugly truth and I have no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around, and uses women for his own power and ego. You are that man (and have been for years) and as your mother, it pains me and embarrasses me to say that, but it is the sad, sad truth. I am not a saint, far from it.. so don't throw that in my face, but your abuse over the years to women (dishonesty, sleeping around, betrayal, debasing, belittling) needs to be called out.

Sam is a good mother and a good person (under the circumstances that you created) and I know deep down you know that. For you to try to label her as "unstable" for your own advantage is despicable and abusive. Is there any sense of decency left in you? She did not ask for or deserve any of what has come to her by your hand. Neither did Meredith. I know you think this is one big competition and that we have taken her side... bunk... we are on the side of good and that is not you. (Go ahead and call me self-righteous, I dont' care) Don't you dare run to her and cry foul that we shared with us... that's what babies do. It's time for someone (I wish it was a strong man) to stand up to your abusive behavior and call it out, especially against women

We still love you, but we are broken by your behavior and lack of character. I don't want to write emails like this and never thought I would. If it damages our relationship further, then so be it, but at least I have said my piece. [Redacted] And yes, we are praying for you (and you don't deserve to know how we are praying, so skip the snarky reply) I don't want an answer to this... I don't want to debate with you. You twist and abuse everything I say anyway. But... On behalf of all the women (and I know it's many) you have abused in some way, I say... get some help and take an honest look at yourself... Mom

a man who gets an email like this from his own mother should be legally required to reveal it to every woman he ever meets ever ever

It's Black Friday, which is a big day for the big boys SO if you're a small or indie Irish retailer, bookseller, printmaker, craftperson (etc, etc) doing cool shit, please reply to this and lets share 'em as good as we can.

I’m here! Looking forward to discovering who else is too ☺️
