Are lgbTq influential enough to affect an election ???

Power just returned after a couple days. Now might be a good idea to get new batteries for a couple of my UPSs. I may be able to return my worn-out UPS batteries by UPS.

There is a site that is new to me on YouTube called "The Bender Of Gender". So far, the first entry looks to be some four hours long. It is all voice and perhaps a Cross Dressers dream. I'm into it about ten minutes, and have it paused to make this blog. It remains to be seen if I will be able to keep getting into it for the whole four hours.

So far so good.

Happy Independence Day, all you Murricans! Enjoy your day.

A little birdie told me that today is Dot's birthday. Let's take a moment to celebrate her life and wish her well.

or some other Anglo-Saxon expression of expletive!

Yep, the actual concluding chapter of On The Edge is yours today!

It is profound to me that some are just busy about being who they are no matter what the self-proclaimed experts say. We all know them, and it is not about gender, though sometimes it is. They are just born that way. Some born leaders, some are followers, some are healers and others are warriors. Some have a high need for order knit right into their souls, so are police whether there is a badge or not. Some tear clocks apart all their lives.

Well there's a mob of them attacking the bird feeders with some gusto so i presume they're hungry!

has a habit of happening.

It seems transgender children are the easiest target for the self-righteous rightwing parties to target, so it's good to read a positive story for once.

A Guide to the Saga

The contest is now live! You can find the tag above, and I'm excited to see your entries!

For many of us BCTS is a huge part of our lives, or has helped us pull through rough times thanks to the community and stories the site has helped to foster.

Well, what better way to show our appreciation of that than a 25th anniversary contest?

I certainly looked like i'd been used as a salt pan when i got back from todays excursion!

Too lazy to dress properly to ride my bike, so I just stayed in my Ankle length A line skirt, a top, with a pretty flowery Jacket, and of course HELMET.

yes i know its technically still spring but it did reach 20c yesterday!

You were a great actor in many roles — the Captain of the Titanic and the wily Duke of Norfolk. But to me, you will always be Théoden King. May the Simbelmynë bloom ever white upon your funeral mound, and your memory be ever green.

He and several others are going to prison. The story is still developing on BBC Internet.

Odd that.

Lets hope May is a bit better!

quite Spring-like atm, blossom on the trees, a splash of colour in the hedgerows and lo, what is that yellow thing in the sky?
