THERE ARE NO TRANSPHOBES WITH HONOR. NO TRANSPHOBE WILL SEE THE GATES OF STO’VO’KOR.

RIP Marcia Lucas, whose skill as a film editor and storyteller made a clunky independent film called STAR WARS greater than the sum of its parts. Rightly referred to as "Lucas's secret weapon," Marcia had an uncanny talent to see a film from the perspective of an audience--and won an Oscar for it.

Holy cow!

I have more in common with a trans woman who suffers under misogyny and patriarchy than I do with a cis woman who chooses to enforce and internalize misogyny and supports patriarchy. Trans women are my sisters. And trans men are my brothers.

My good friend Jonathan Harker is only a few days into his first business trip and the vibes are already off.

At the beginning of each Brownie meeting, we would place a green felt mat in the middle of the room, on which we would place a papier mache toadstool decorated with fairies & pixies & such, topped with a brown owl, & then we would dance around it.

The dry humour of the English burns like nothing else

It's today, today!

"Reform's manifesto for the Senedd election says the party will tell museums how to display history if it wins, saying they will present events in chronological order and "in context"." So, History Reclaimed but in government. History without rigour, compassion, or reflection. #skystorians

I have started a new sewing project. There have been some struggles.

The inspiration for my favourite Hop song!

Delighted to listen to two Australian youtubers tell me about a 1979 Marvel comic where - and this is a sentence I never thought I would write - Pierre Elliot Trudeau plays a major role in the creation of Wolverine.

Yesterday I got to hold a tiny lamb and it was good

HANK, 49 Twice divorced, twice widowed, and looking for fun. Are you a buxom seventeen-year-old and also first cousin to my late second wife and also willing to ignore that I am nearly thrice your age and also in my direct line of sight?
