Wise Words

The Dalai Lama, when asked what surprised him most about humanity, answered:

“Man. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money
to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future
that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not
live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to
die, and then dies having never really lived.”

Men Don’t Hold a Monopoly on Ignorant Behavior

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

Last night I watched an enlightening documentary on homophobic, college coaches.

Yes, the villain in this film is a woman.

Rene Portland, a women’s basketball coach at Penn State for twenty-seven years, openly had a “no lesbians allowed” rule. She not only consistently ran off girls on her team who came out, she also did what she could to make sure they didn’t play for other programs.

Dry Spell

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

What is really sad, that, ever since my arm started the spasm thing I have barely written. Since my last blog post I have written nothing. This is not a good thing for me as writing is very therapeutic. I am not sure what the problem is, as I can't seem to really focus on much. If I had to guess what is the problem I would probably go with depression getting worse as well. I mean... my arm has gotten worse, more fun and games with poverty and life being generally crazy. So... that would probably be it.

Sigh... this is getting ridiculous.

That newspaper

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

The Daily Mail, also known as the Hate Mail or Wail, is often referred to disparagingly by UK members of this site. For very good reasons, as the link will show. Even for the Mail, they plumbed new depths of opportunistic nastiness with this one. For those of you outside the UK, this is why it is so badly thought of.

Comments on the site were disabled for some time due to the vitriol that was poured out by readers.

Being able to state my own case

Well, I'm going to have a chance to make a case for starting hormones sooner than I thought. I'll be seeing the gender specialist's assistant on Tuesday, and hopefully, I'll be able to persuade her to get me started right away.

Corrective Rape in S. Africa

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

I really don't understand how some men think that raping a lesbian is going to 'cure' them. Surely, any effect it has is going to put them off being near men for life?

It still seems to be happening and on almost epidemic scale in South Africa, and the response of the police appears to have been less than helpful in many cases.

This from the BBC website:

Possible Delays in postings

Just so everyone knows, I've decided to take part in Camp NaNoWriMo. This is an 'official' spinoff of NaNoWriMo, and takes place in July and again in August (I'm not sure that I have it in me to go at it twice in a row, but who knows...)

I may delay any writing or posting of My Mistake or Emma's Story until Camp NaNoWriMo is done, but I may not do that either. We will have to see.

Is it just me or is bad grammar becoming acceptable?

Forums: 

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

I was never a great speller or one that was grammatically correct in every way, but the use of "your" instead of "you're" was drilled into me at school. There seems to be more and more stories in the media and even here that get the two mixed up, another phrase being "then" when it should be "than".

Is the problem brought about by voice recognition software and the various accents where words sound the same and stories are not being grammar checked? By the way, (BTW) I just wanted to say that I love being part of this community even if being in Western Australia is a long way away.

Setback

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

Well, I've had a bit of a setback. I phoned the gender specialist's office, and found out that I don't yet have an appointment to get my blood tested to start female hormones. Apparently, there is some question as to whether just going to work as Dorothy qualifies as a real life test or not. (Why this matters, I don't know, but there you are.) So now I have to wait and hear back from the specialist, or maybe I'll be waiting until I see him again in December to find out if I can start them anyway. ... Sigh.

Computer Problems.... again!

I'm having computer problems again. Once more my romance entry is nearly completed, but may be lost. This is the third time I've had to write parts of it over again due to virus's, and this time a POST problem. Just as bad, LL's excellent Retcon Star Wars rekindled my muse for my own Retcon story involving Ms Marvel. Tired last night, I shut down without backing up like I usually do, so all of that may be lost too.

replacing my cards

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

Well, I spent yesterday getting started on replacing all my cards and identifications. First, I was able to get a new health card sent to me after answering enough questions to prove I'm me. (For non-Canadians, this little card basically allows me to access, free of charge most services at hospitals and doctor's offices.) Then, I was able to get a temporary driver's license and a permanent one will come later. I have some things left to do, including getting a copy of my birth certificate so I can get a new social insurance card, but its good to get the process rolling.

Plausible space velocities for stories.

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

One of the stories here got me curious about the "Star Wars" series, for purely technical reasons. :) So, I began to watch the entire series again from I-VI. In Epi IV, Han Solo mentioned that his ship would do 1.5 light speed. Hmmmm that is just plodding along and is really not much good for space travel. In Lili's present story, she mentioned that the drive she is peddling is capable of 100,000 times light speed; something just barely useful considering the scale of the Universe, or even our own Galaxy.

Freaking out my daughter

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

Well, If I needed any proof that my daughter isnt ready for me to be out with her as Dorothy, yesterday provided it. I had woken up at 330 pm in a panic, thinking I had forgotten to pick her up from school. I hurriedly put on a t-shirt and shorts and ran out to the school, only to find her gone, picked up by my mother, who had told me she would before I went to sleep, only I had forgotten. So I went home, and they came home right after, and my daughter took one look at me and freaked out. I hadn't realized it, but I had grabbed a ladies t shirt I use as a camisole by mistake.
