Something I remind myself of about the trans rights fight is the asymmetry of what's required to change someone's mind:
Transphobes: A decade-long, billion dollar, globally coordinated campaign of disinformation, lawfare, and media capture.
Trans people: Meeting a trans person.
We'll win, folx 🏳️⚧️✊

What happens if the end goal of your wacko movement is “And then the public will rise up to support us” but the public remains indifferent, no matter how thickly TV and radio are blanketed in your drivel? This is what happens, if you have a squillionaire friend who can put her thumb on the scales.

Churanoumi has some dedicated fans out here in Fukuoka, respect!
Since I had created my own 'fan accessories' I feel that I can appreciate such DIY beauties more.

Think there was something off in the recipe I made for dinner, because it was supposed to be carrot soup thickened with rice but ended up being rice and carrots. Still tasted good with roasted paneer and cauliflower

These lines by Paul Simon have stuck with me:
"Once I was crazy, but my ace in the hole
Was that I knew that I was crazy, so I never lost my self-control."
Only recently have I learned I can't micromanage my illness without making myself iller.

During a previous breakdown, I (re)read nothing but Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories. This time, Higashino Keigo and Matsumoto Seichō's novels have been a welcome escape

A very short film about Charles Palmer’s concrete teddy bear garden in Bradford-on-Avon, demolished in the 1970s.
There is a sadness to these places being lost but I like to think the love hours spent on making, the person’s pleasure in their creation is never lost

Wonderful footage at about 6:44 in this film of Sidney Dowdeswell’s sadly long ago demolished visionary art environment, an extraordinary shell & concrete artwork which the retired engineer built singlehandedly in his own back garden in Hindlip, Worcestershire

The government could have put its energy the last few days into publicising the new ban on ticket touts, instead of proposing new ways to brutalise the most vulnerable. They'd have got nothing but goodwill & some of them could still claim to have souls
