in good ol' GOC!

Where i can understand the lingo, folk understand me, 300m ASL isn't pie in the sky but reality and the sky to ground ratio is near on perfect!

Did you hear about the girl who had writer's block? Her friends were successful authors with good advice, so she rented a cabin in the northwoods to be alone and try to find her own moose.

Part 10 of Gaby - Changing Lives is now available on Kindle! just click on the pic!

So last night, I dreamed I was being perused by 2 men, who were much taller than me.

I tried to run away, but I got cornered. I tried throwing snowballs at them, but they still kept coming.

Finally, I realized I had no choice, and I started fighting them.

But then something strange happened - I was winning.

Finally, I had them both down, and I told them I had been holding back, if they came after me again, they would get even worse.

Don't ask me, folks, I just get the dreams, I don't know the meaning of them.

So I got a chance to watch the Backrooms movie.

If you're not familiar with the backrooms, look it up, it's weird, and so was the movie.

a man whose life is unravelling enters a space where the normal rules take a holiday, and things just spiral from there.

I'm not sure I understand the ending of the movie, but maybe that was the idea.

if you're a fan of the shorts or the games, this is a pretty faithful adaptation of the concept, so for those people, I can recommend it.

but if surrealism and such stuff annoys you, this movie is probably not for you

but only temporarily!

Sophie Wilson

Sophie was born in Leeds, England, in 1957.She studied computer science at the University of Cambridge. She worked at Acorn Computers in the 1980s.

She designed the original instruction set for the ARM chip in just a few days.. ARM stands for Acorn RISC Machine. The design uses very little power and runs very fast

Billions of devices use ARM processors.. Most smartphones and tablets rely on her chip design. Routers, gaming consoles, and smart devices also use ARM

Without her, so much of todays tech would not be possible.

If you saw my previous blog post you know I've been on an unplanned medical leave because of my vision problems. Recovery is going extremely well. I'm almost back to 100% again. In fact, there's really only one reason I haven't started posting again quite yet. I have an appointment this month for an experimental treatment (hopefully!)

one of my major problems is when I am either really manic or really depressed, I get ideas that seem to make perfect sense - until I get out of that phase, and I see them as they actually are.

When in manic, this often comes out in me overdoing things and not feeling the consequences at the time.

in depression, its mostly negative self talk - I get convinced I'm tolerated rather than liked, that I'm a pile of toxic sludge that only can hurt people who try and care about me.

to welcome autumn!

has been a significant element so far this week.

My Dear Readers will know that Shrewsbury Folk Festival features an awful lot in my stories. I am now back from the latest. I had to hire a car to get there and back, and as my neighbour helped load it, she asked if I really should be going, given my explosion in health issues.."Got to try..."

I have been epilating with a facial epilator since November, I haven't shaved my my beard area since. I only spend a few minutes a couple of times a week running the machine over my throat and beard area and my beard growth is disappearing about which I am rather pleased. Also the skin is softer because it doesn't have bristles under it. I accept plucking by hand or by machine anywhere near the mouth does hurt a bit but nowhere near as much as electrolysis and once you have a machine the costs are minimal.

I'm having a tough day, and struggling to find hope.

anybody got some to spare?

I’m Elliot Everden, and I’m a crossdresser myself.

I started writing Dressed because I kept looking for a particular kind of crossdressing fiction and rarely found it. I wasn’t looking for humiliation, forced feminisation or stories where the clothes were simply a route to sex.

I wanted the clothes themselves to be the experience.

I am currently reading/working my way through the Spearfish Lake Tales stories. There are 65 books with nearly 2100 chapters in total. Only about 8 or 9 books are NOT interrelated around the fictional north Michigan town of Spearfish Lake, as well as a few other near by fictional localities. The bulk of the tales cover the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s, though there are retrospectives and flash-backs as far back as the late 1940s.

We've had to turn on defensive mode with our firewall because we've been getting as many as 400,000 hits a minute.

They usually tire over a few hours and go back to ignoring us but for now, we raised the fences to keep them out.

This means you may have to answer a question from Cloudflare to get in.

Hugs,
Erin

Okay so I was re-reading the story of Ester from the Bible, and I noticed something.

Not to step on anybody's religious toes, but I found that as a trans woman, I could see a trans story in there.

I mean, she's living quietly, then gets pushed into a place where she can express her feminine nature - clothes, makeup, beauty treatments, and so on, but there is a catch - she has a secret that if found out could even end her life.

Eventually, though, she must reveal the secret to save her people, regardless of the risk.

so last night I dreamed I was on stage for an award ceremony, and my co-presenter, who was a guy I knew in high school, leaned over and gave me a kiss on the cheek
.
I looked at him, and said he knew I used to be a guy, and he just smiled at me.

Don't ask me folks, my brain must have been reading romance stories, or something

Can I just say how nice of a person Alyson is to take time out of her busy schedule of literary domination to plug some silly book I wrote on the internets a bajillion years ago?

Everyone should totally buy 12 of her books. They make great gifts.

so I want to talk about Executive Dysfunction for a second.

See, a while back, I bought a bottle of nail polish while at a dollar store, with the idea of painting my nails so I can get a little gender euphoria.

I haven't done it yet.

somehow, there is a gap between "wanting to do the thing" and doing the thing.

And it occurred to me that If I'm having that much trouble doing something I know would make me happy, how much worse is this problem going to be if the task involves something I dont really want to do in the first place?

...you think you have things cracked something else comes and puts the boot in!

Coop Ch.3 is now posted. Sorry for not posting it earlier :D.

Looking at my old, 17 year-old Kindle and how it works now...makes me really sad.
Now it opens to the novel I am was reading just before Amazon recertified the Kindle. As I recall, I was a third of the way through Laurence Dahnner's Ell Donsaii novel, Bioterror.

Amazon has closed my account. It started when Amazon started draining my eCash card with "fees". Then they transfered two of my gift cards (they were supposed to credit my eCash account instead) to my wife's separate account and I ended up buying my own Christmas present this year.The fees do not show up as charges, just money tranfers. I protested through Customer Service, was informed that the "problem" would be fixed, and that I would be compensated for the losses. None of that happened. In May, I tried to close the account. Five times since May.

and in health

spend the day with my aunt and her dog. He's having a rough go, and might need to be put down, so I wanted to see him one last time.

I could use some hugs, folks
