Just to let people know that Fictionmania has successfully changed servers and is back and running, albeit with my recent postings there, gone.
It was interesting that when WebDeb advised us it was down there was a couple of comments about FM like - "nothing but soft core porn, most of the time" and "more sexually oriented material, for they who prefer more erotic fare". There was also the chilling statement - "PROJECT 2025 won't see any difference - if it's transgender, it's PORN; and a danger to the Fatherland".
Here is my comment in response:

season is here

So yesterday and the day before, it pretty much snowed here all day, and it was what you would call a mixed blessing.

One the one hand, the city looks beautiful, white everywhere, and after a pretty grim summer that is a good thing.

On the other hand, drivers here seem to forget how to drive in snow, so car accidents have been plentiful.

Ah well, into every life a little snow must fall, right?

I was wondering if Sarah McBride had had her GCS. If so, she could confirm her physical sex for the house.

The German Green Party has proposed the creation of “women only” train cars for the underground network in the capital city of Berlin, due to the huge increase of sexual assaults and rapes in the last ten years. This proposal has caused a huge backlash from most other sectors of the German society.

and a personal reboot!

so reading the pundits take on the American election, the general takeaway is that Kama losing was trans people's fault.

Apparently, we are such a threat to the wellbeing of the US that because she didn't join the Republicans in declaring us subhuman was the difference.

This would worry me a little less if this wasn't the overall opinion of Republican and Democrat pundits, which means I fully expect the Democrats to throw us under the bus.

yep, its finally here, the last chapter of my Dad's life.

which i guess is quite apt given the turn of the month!

but not quite!

but its neither Pontoon or summer!

Where does the time go?

Six months after her report into gender care for children, BBC Women's Hour interviewed Hilary Cass
https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0023q2z

What I hear in this interview is not what I expected after reading much of what I read about the report.

There were some statements made a few days ago that require some context.

Sugar, people are fighting to survive with inflation taking everything and more than they make.

I mean obviously it's ticked by, second by second but i seem to have missed it all somehow.

Yep, its taken a decidedly cool turn!

I woke up this morning with needing to deal with SOMEONE, Goofle once (again ???). Perhaps what happened is merely a minor disturbance in the force. Their little ARMY was simply "Being All They Could Be". I'll get over it.

Community is always important, whether that is our community here, or the broader trans community as a whole, and today we have a chance to help another part of the community in need.

I think it is the rain that's falling down.

and less good news!

Spent the evening sorting through what were awful movies.

Despite my sympathy for the plight of Bruce Willis.

"Cosmic Sin" is really awful. I may not watch all of it.

I dunno, but it seems most of those i have left are essentially digital.

Erin, ladies remove this if it's out of line for this channel.
Abbott passed the same exec orders Gov Stitt did years ago.

Thus I reached out to equalitytexas.org and explained how I worked past Gov Stitt's exec order when he had done the exact same thing. Received a response thanking me and inviting me to join. I'm not going to but it was a kind of them to offer.

but hopefully not the Walrus, koo koo ka choo!
