Girl guides, WI, what’s next for exclusion of trans women?
Stupid question. The answer is - everything. The people demanding this exclusion will never be satisfied.

The first gender reassigned surgery in the UK was in 1951. She would be over 100 today and lived as a woman for 60+ years. Telling these women they are no longer welcome in the WI is brutal, as they themselves admit. These are our regressive times. #transrightsarehumanrights

The Bursar – Mrs Horsefall – was tall, blonde, cheerful, muscular, and had a very brisk manner, along the lines of a doctor’s merry certainty that the latest injection wouldn’t hurt. (Well, it wouldn’t hurt him, at least.) #editing

What was your version of eeny, meeny, miney, moe (counting game for choosing or eliminating someone) when you were younger? The best one I've heard is from Czech, which has several different endings but this is my favourite (image on the left is the original Czech, on the right is rough translation)

What a wonderful story - and a beautiful illustration of the power of the arts.
Great writing expands our imagination. It helps us to see the world in new ways.
And that has consequences that can never be measured by "average starting salaries" or "contribution to GDP".

New calligraphic work: "On Resisting ICE and the DHS"
This one is complex enough that I am providing a key to how it's structured, similar to those keys you see that show how a Talmud page is divided up. See the alt for the explanation.

Phil had seen this sort of reaction in old Hammer Horror movies – the sort when Van Helsing walked into an inn and asked if anyone knew about the local big castle, or if they’d observed any passing bats – but she’d never actually witnessed it in real life. #editing
