'Screams reverberated through dead village streets. And then the Dragons arrived.'

How appropriate that the two lines blend so well in sequence!

The truth is, you’ll never really know how far your kindness travels.

Something you said in passing might still be echoing in someone’s mind.

A small act that felt routine to you might have meant everything to them.

Don’t underestimate the ways you may have made a difference in someone’s life.

I'm Transgender and an Australian.
This true in our society.

Aside from a few ignorant bigots, the 'trans factor' is a non-issue in Australia.

It’s almost like when you don’t have a rabidly trans-hostile media ecosystem, people generally support human rights.

lens.monash.edu/@politics-so...

A poll, commissioned by Equality Australia in the first quarter of 2025, found that:
• 86% agree or strongly agree that government and opposition should not politicise trans issues for political gain
• 89% agree or strongly agree that LGBT people deserve to live with dignity and respect
• 91% agree or strongly agree that trans people should have the freedom and choice to live their lives in the way that makes them happy
• 81% agree of strongly agree that trans people deserve the same rights and protections as other
Australians.

That time you do a bulk order of novels.
Yes, 'fantasy' is a fave genre for me.

Hardcover books have become very expensive in Australia, but all my existing 'series' are in that format, so needs must .....

According to the Malleus Maleficarum, a 15th century guide for witchhunters, witches could steal men’s penises and keep them as pets.

The Millennium Falcon is my preferred next buy / build.
It will be my first Star Wars piece.

All my large sets are the NASA Saturn rocket / Shuttle and the Concord aeroplane.
