Meet Jenny…and the extent of my egocentricity. #HomeForJenny

I know no other way to do this than through the filter of my own egocentricity, so that’s what I’ll do; but I want you to finally SEE Jenny – my wonderful, whip-smart, wise-cracking, tough-as-nails friend. You already know that she’s homeless, because goodness knows I’ve talked about it enough. You already know there’s a…

A Letter to the Crystal Queen (GWSF)

Your Majesty, I have returned from my most beautiful, spontaneous trip to London with my head buzzing full of dribs and drabs which might, but don’t quite, constitute Things Worth Writing About. Then I discovered that I’ve been brought into a delightful Game of Wonderful Sparkly Fun by the most beauteous Queen of the Light…

Ten Things of Thankful 112 #10Thankful

Gather around, my lovelies, and let me tell you a story. It’s a good one and I know you’ll like it – bring your cushions and blankets and snuggle in closer – I hope you can all hear. It’s alright to get nice and cosy – we can all be friends here, under the stars,…

Fundraising for Jenny’s Wedding and Housing #HomeForJenny

My Lovelies, if you’ve been around here for more than the odd occasion lately, you’ll know all about Jenny; the amazing lady I met a few weeks ago when I took post-hotel-conference food to distribute to the homeless people in the city centre (I’m not an angel – food waste is anathema to me when…

Ten Things of Thankful 111 #10Thankful

And so it was that the mystery of the last few weeks of utter discombobulation, exacerbated by fear that I was once again falling apart at the seams of my mind, was solved. And I’m so, so very thankful. I’ve been clinging on by little more than a thread, at times, feeling the disconnect and…

BRAINDUMP

I don’t even care if that’s meant to be two words. I’m in full on rebuttal mode, fighting against all these people (all both of them) who say that I write inspirationally and wonderfully and whatever, when all I feel is that actually I’ve written nothing of merit in WEEKS, except some half-baked poetry, and…

Trans Pride Brighton 2015

Not gonna lie – I HAD THE MOST AMAZING TIME! (in spite of cold and rain and whining (whaddya mean? my whining is adorable (right?))) Ups and downs of course, but mostly UPS and lovely, lovely people and SO MUCH FUN! Vince took us along, and my friend Mike took the vid, and well…y’all know…

Going to trans pride in Brighton this weekend, so gonna be totally AWOL (or AWL, seeing as I don’t need your permission to go) and for tradition’s sake rather than anything else, will leave this here to give the opportunity for you to link up.And as per new and not-awesome-at-all tradition, sorry in advance for…

The Village needs to #BeReal

Acceptance may be absolutely the perfect topic this month, because there’s a new hashtag in town, calling everyone to practice radical acceptance of themselves and others as they embrace the opportunity to #BeReal. The movement started when Hasty got sick and tired of false efforts at acceptance, which nonetheless promoted body image in its current…

Ten Things of Thankful 109 #10Thankful

Well…it’s another week where I’m going to probably be utterly rubbish, as I have been the last few, at coming round to see everyone. I give you fair warning, so you can decide whether or not you want to bother reading further :) For me, once again, it’s a week of knowing beyond shadow of…
