Just got off the phone with my GP, he suggested that I self refer to the local GIC as it'll be quicker than waiting 2 weeks for us to meet again for an appointment to go through pretty much the same form, lol.

Gonna do that when I get home tonight! 💜🏳️‍⚧️

Long time coming but ahhhhh finally!!!
Those of you who knew me in the early 2000s, and knew I was trans back then (there are a couple of you), you were right. 💜💜

As a millennial who grew up in Britain, The Crystal Maze, Knightmare and ZZZap! are the Holy Trinity of weird telly shows that shaped my child psyche. Amazing stuff. You don't get telly like that any more.

I mean, they rebooted The Crystal Maze with Richard Ayoade, but it wasn't the SAME.

I didn't realise I'd basically recreated "bonkers UK telly show The Crystal Maze except it kills you" until I realised one of the characters was basically immortal game vampire Richard O'Brien

this has only made the idea more compelling to me, naturally.

my latest novel idea attempting to distract me from my WIPs is about extradimensional "puzzle houses" that spring up behind doors in cities, run by immortal game masters who promise a single wish to anyone who can survive and complete six of these deadly environments

and someone is going to say "ah, like Squid Game?"

and I am going to respond "no, like The Crystal Maze"

Happy International Trans Day of Visibility, to all those observed by it!

Actually used as the theme for the BBC's "Nationwide" current affairs programme that ran between 1969 and 1983.

The All-Knowing Trash Heap has this to say:

"The show's tendency to sidestep serious matters in favour of light pieces was parodied in an episode of Monty Python's Flying Circus, where the show, instead of reporting on the opening of the Third World War, chose to feature a story about a "theory" that sitting down in a comfortable chair rests one's legs.

mh--, stalking??? 

Just to clarify this was a pretty unassuming white guy; nothing about him shouted bad news until he started the stanard scam spiel; compliments, then convoluted story to keep me distracted/let my guard down.

mh--, stalking??? 

After five seconds he runs up to start walking beside me

"Are you a racist? Is it because I'm Armenian?"

At this point my flight/fight responds kicks in and I just start running, shouting back at them to stop following me but also so other people hear the commotion.

Thankfully he didn't follow me anymore, but jeez fuck I haven't felt that scared since high school.

I meant to go grocery shopping but instead just went back home.

mh--, stalking??? 

Went out into town today to update the name on my mortgage and get some lunch.

On my way to catch the bus home a white guy waves to get my attention.

Me: "Hello."
Him: "Your hair is nice."
Me: "Thank you?"
"I used to have hair like that."
"Okay. Sorry, how can I help?"
"I'm Armenian and..."

So I tune out at this point; It's likely a scam so I wave my hand. "Sorry I've got a bus to catch" and start walking away. 1/2

This is maybe even more relevant today. Just change "is on the moon" to "is building AGI" or "is going to Mars."

Yes, okay, this is a bit of a whinge.

I have spent hours helping people and small organisations with the UK's Online Safety Act.

Many, many, many hours.

And... no-one is any safer for it.

#OnlineSafetyAct

"Hahah! Yeah, it's actually pretty easy, once you stop being so scared of it enough to start having fun."
