The legend around Clach an Tiompain or "The Eagle Stone", a pictish stone in Strathpeffer. A legend goes that if the stone fell over three times the valley would flood. It has fallen over twice since the prophecy was made. It's now set in concrete.
In the foreground is a pictish standing stone made fom blue gneiss.  Carved on the face are two images, a horse shoe-like arc symbol above an eagle.  The top right corner of the stone is missing.

Why are “the camps” a reprehensible threat when levied at Aaron but perfectly fine when levied at trans women?

Why are you trans? Wrong answers only I made a pretty public declaration back in the mid 00s: "Charles Kennedy will stay on as Lib Dem leader, or I'm a transsexual lesbian". Never let it be said that I'm not a woman of my word.

And worse, Osborne never had any economic or financial education or experience. He got a 2:1 in Modern History, then he was a fucking journo. THAT'S the guy who conjured up these rules that no-one has the political will to say "wait a minute these fucking suck and we have the power to change them".

I'm reminded of Scarne's "On Dice", a book that was issued to US soldiers in WW2. It explained the distinction between lady luck and "old man percentage", the actual probabilities in craps, and bluntly stated that if you couldn't understand and memorise the actual odds you should't play dice games.

When a missing woman has used drugs, traded sex, experienced homelessness, or had an arrest record, her disappearance is the consequence of a “high-risk lifestyle.” That phrase performs a moral trick. It shifts responsibility from the person who caused harm to the person forced to navigate danger.

I'll say it, Nick Bostrom is a shit philosopher. That he has been able to make a reputation and career off of a bullshit book is an indictment of philosophy, and is conclusive proof that the professionalisation of philosophy was a mistake.

It would be par for the course, same happened in other parties. At this point, any still paying members of these parties who are "heartbroken" by party leadership are mooks who deserve to be creamed for all they're worth. They should value themselves more and resign their membership.

How am I distracting myself from the horrors? Bought a few liqueurs to explore Tiki cocktails, as I've generally not been a huge fan of TIki drinks. Recently bought a recently published Tiki book - "Coconuts and Carnage" by Justin Wojslaw - and it's got me interested in expanding my repertoire.

It's interesting to see which academics who tried to make a name for themselves in the 2010s on the basis of being pro LGBT rights aren't on this list. An old sociology professor of mine signed the letter. Not one of my old philosophy professors has.

MSPs are debating tackling violence against women & girls. Reform have dismissed the assault of a young woman at their conference with 'She shouldn't have been there'. We've heard that before. She shouldn't have walked down that dark street. She shouldn't have worn that. Victim blaming at its worst

Drop a random GL manga panel with absolutely no context.
A black and white panel from a mang.  It depicts an irate girl screaming"Quit doom-scrolling the ass end of the internet!!".  In the bottom left corner, another girl replies "Ah!  Uhm!  Okay, I'm sorry...".

Panel is from "I See You Aizawa-san)".

I've heard some disturbing things from MPs in my lifetime. Namely in the last decade. Jonathan Gullis blaming literal children for being trafficking victims. Christopher Chope sabotaging a bill to ban upskirting. Jacob Rees-Mogg saying Grenfell Tower victims lacked common sense. This is up there.

Robert Jenrick has today continued to not only laugh at the woman assaulted at the Reform conference. But he's essentially made clear that women who step out of line deserve to be struck. In normal times, he would be sacked and expelled from any political party. But not today. Not by Reform.

Seeing trans siblings in Wales be denied their surgeries, some mere hours before they were mean to happen, has really shaken me. Was I too slow? Will the rug be pulled from under me this close to getting what I've waited decades for? Am I taking someone else's rightful place in the queue?

Evelyn @dingledodie77.bsky.social · 07/09/2026
I've been quiet for the past couple of weeks, mostly a result of the Welsh GIC stopping all surgeries. I live in Scotland, and surgeries are provided by NHS England under a four nations contract. Holyrood is flaky on trans people. I'm also currently awaiting a consultation for bottom surgery.

We need to end the culture of the NHS can harm trans people with impunity. The idea that we cannot demand real accountability is wrong. An institutional problem is a people problem.

Spare me from fucking Democrats who bitch about "purity tests on The Left" who then follow it up with "vote blue no matter who", a literal purity test. "Oh if you REALLY cared about the situation you'd vote blue, and voting blue is the only real way to show that you care". Shut the fuck up.
