Yep, its the conclusion of the 24th Gaby book here at BC.

.....come back another day - preferably less strong!

I feel like a lot of people around here expect a lot of the moderation and maintenance staff here at BCTS, but that they don't tend to get nearly enough recognition for all the hard work they do.

As such, I would like to take a moment to list them all, so we can all show each of them the love they deserve.

after several weeks of up & down!

to the weather

I was out all day and watching funeral type stuff half the evening!

As the process of saying farewell to the Queen continues.

amidst a time of uncertainty here in the UK.

whatever 'normal' is!

I really don't understand how a trans woman has the advantage over a Cis woman in snooker. What next? Chess? Poker?

Former World No 1 Maria Catalano, cousin of reigning snooker champion Ronnie O'Sullivan, insists Hunter's involvement in women's matches is unfair,

She says

'There is a reason they started a women's tour. Reanne Evans is the best woman player I have ever seen and even she can't crack it against the men.'

Catalano added that she may even be forced to pull out from competing in the game herself.

You may have noticed I do not post the upcoming events like I used to, last week's meeting was pretty interesting we had no less than 5 popular authors who write for BCTS. This weeks is pretty interesting just the regular members. I will keep having these meetings every week until something bad happens to me. If you are interested you have but to ask and I will send you a PM via BCTS. Stay healthy stay happy and maybe I will we will get to meet someday.

BCTS is probably the most important constant in my life.

Some might consider that hyperbole... but in so many ways, it's 100 percent true.

Without the community this site has provided, the outlet for both creativity and pain, the *outreach* it has allowed me... I wouldn't be here today.

Without the wonderful people here, who are so incredibly generous in so many ways, and the love and support they have given me, that I have done my best to return in kind, but know I can never truly match... I wouldn't be here today.

Without Erin.

Without Angie.

not clickbait but true.

At least i'm not going to bore you with it!

In the UK, the Transgender Community is the most targeted group in LGBT+ community as a whole.

Apparently, In 2020/2021, 2,630 Hate Crimes against transgender people were recorded by the Police. Although it is thought that 88% of transgender people did not report hate crimes.

I can understand it being unreported. If you try to live a quite life, everything will be dragged out for all to see.

Is this true? Does this still happen to trans people?

Gotta love the military mindset

hello August.

Apparently Google has a pseudo AI program out that they are calling Replica. I saw it on Facebook but did not take the risk of logging onto it. Scam or no?
