With the onset of the holiday season, stores and radios are rolling out Christmas related songs. This is a rendition of Carol of the Bells by artists who might just be on Santa’s naughty list.

Suspicious headrests

From a previous generation’s “wars because they could”, don’t let War Weenie Hegseth (he doesn’t like the Secretary title as that’s a woman’s job to him) lead people into another one. https://youtu.be/dHCtfJGHPs0?si=9W4T7N_-qyjdFf20

Name a song that probably can’t work on a different instrument. My observation (I woke up with this on my mind, so it may have been a nightmare): Unchained Melody on Bagpipes

I know that I am far from the only trans woman to buy sexy under things early on in transition. With the just past Amazon Prime Day, I got a couple functional granny bras, a couple plain slips, and granny pants - much more practical. I’m in my 60s, so granny wear is fine.

Understand if you ever feel self doubts, Santa Claus believes in you.

The young whippersnappers may not have heard this. I think it should be playing on loop on loudspeakers aimed at the Capitol, the Oval Office, and the news centres for each network, until they understand it.

For American followers who are transgender (and please reskeet this)

In Canada, we stopped buying Florida (or other US) oranges following the 51st state rants. We now get South African ones. I got wondering where they were grown in the country - turns out up by Zimbabwe. I did see that the Orange Free State is still Orange Free, growing grains instead.

Lasers were once a huge scientific breakthrough, now we use them to play with cats. Computers were once a huge scientific breakthrough, now we use them to look at pictures of cats. Conclusion: science was made for cats.

New bloodwork, E is up 50% to 271 pmol/L, T is down to 0.8 nmol/L, dropped nearly 40%. This is six months after the previous blood work and the prior numbers had been consistent for at least a year and a half. I do know that I have a return to a libido, now estrogen driven.

The longer I live, the more convinced I am that other planets use this planet as a lunatic asylum.

Had to take the House Hippo to the vet this morning, she got confused and thought some currants were raisins and upset her stomach.

At the end of a recent show, the great Sir Rod Stewart announced that it was the end of his and his band’s music for the night, but he wanted to share something from the Internet:

50 years ago, in 1975, Tracey Africa Norman served as the hair model for Clairol’s Born Beautiful 512 Dark Auburn hair colour. This was her actual hair colour as the portrait was meant as a mock-up as part of a brand proposal. She continued modeling, under contract with Clairol for six years, 1/

Me: It’s not about how many times you fall, it’s about how many times you can pick yourself back up. Cop: That’s not how field sobriety tests work.

Q: What do monsters eat? A: Things Q: What do monsters drink? A: Coke (Because Things go better with Coke(TM)).

A touch late for passing this on, but… “Now they will know we are here.”

Well, Well,Well, Not So Easy To Find A Government That Doesn’t Suck Shit By King George III

44 years ago today, a hero in the funding of cancer research succumbed to his fight with the condition. Terry Fox, one of the greatest Canadians to ever live. The video is 14 years old, so far he has raised over $900 million for cancer research.

#IQ45 has spoken about his fear of sharks. Trans people are huge fans of blahajs. Is Trump afraid of the which makes him anti-trans? Maybe we should post our blahajs en masse to see if we can scare him away.

Doctor’s appointment today about something non-trans, but with the heat & humidex, I was wearing a camisole that showed my doctor my cleavage. She took a look at my trans jewelry but also a gander down my top. She seems to be having fun with my transition.

Bonne journée Sainte-Jean Baptiste! Bonne Fête National au Québec.

Sometimes you just want to Keep Calm and Laugh, sometimes you get to Keep Calm and Love.

Happy Pride, Everyone!

Someone posted a comment on a Quora answer I had written on the visibility of trans women. The assertions the person made were that the media and government are all transgender people, and that it is being hidden from the public. Umm, yeah…

Some days I think that I am surrounded by f’n idiots. Other days I realise… It’s just not some days.

Stumbled upon this video about Sneeze. Unlucky Sneeze.

It was nearly 45 years ago when I saw the film that made Ben Hur look like an Epic, but I had already heard the taunts and the questions about sparrows. I told someone about their mother being a hamster and their father smelling of elderberries, and they were just baffled.

Musical interlude…

Free the beer!

Two years ago today

My condolences to Roman Catholics on the just announced death of Pope Francis, at heart a good man who tried to fix and heal the institutional problems of an organisation abused by some of its participants.

Even if this is perfectly accurate, what we saw Saturday mornings was a coyote busy with dynamite, boomerangs, anvils, rockets, guns, glue, etc. Also I am sure that with all the explosions, falls over cliffs, rocks falling on him and the like, the coyote probably limps, slowing him down!

In the view of Evangelicals that Trump walks with Christ, may Christ thoroughly baptise him

This weekend was one of an ice storm along a swath of the province. For the trees that survived, it was a rather amazing sight, but many didn’t. Nearing half a million people without power and stretches of many rural roads are impassable.

You may wonder if this constitutes a sin by the cat…

Just watched Zero Hour - it was the serious movie that served as the basis for Airplane. Because the core of it was copied so faithfully, only to be expanded into the jokes, the producers of Airplane bought it to avoid issues over copyright. Even a number of the voices are similar.

I have added a roommate…

So, Jeff Douglas reprised his role from 2000 for the new North American situation…
