SC Dem Senate nominee Annie Andrews released an ad calling trans women "biological men." She embraces sports and surgery bans for youth. Her campaign even says she won't work to overturn the HRT/blocker trans youth ban. She once argued against capitulation. Subscribe to support our journalism.

It’s not chicken-fried steak at the Wigwam. But it’s good nonetheless. Except my eyes are now much bigger than my stomach. Must remember this.

Successfully made it to Chester from @cherylmorgan.bsky.social ‘s home in Wales. Staying on points and my platinum status got us upgraded to a larger “executive” room. Time to have dinner and maybe get to bed early. Wales is beautiful.

Heading for Glasgow (via Chester tonight) for FantasyCon soon. Looks like there will be enough room in @cherylmorgan.bsky.social ‘s car even after packing the Wizard’s Tower books that I won’t have to ride on the roof. 😄

Because we’ll be leaving my host’s home for Glasgow and FantasyCon today, I have a relatively short night tonight. So waking up at 0345 with massive cramps in both legs was not something I wanted. Ow.

According to a new shadow docket filing with SCOTUS, the Alliance Defending Freedom is arguing that parents of cis kids have a "parental right" to forcibly out trans kids and prevent them from playing. It also seeks further Title IX restrictions in blue states. Subscribe to support our journalism.

I need to remind myself that trying to “power through” Day Jobbe stuff by skipping meals is a Very Bad Idea. When you are a diabetic, blood sugar crashes like that must not be ignored. I’m better now.

Not enough signal for me to post when we got to Swansea, but we did get there. And @cherylmorgan.bsky.social got us back to her home (my temporary base for something like 7 of the next 12 weeks). Glad to not be moving for a little while.

After having burritos at Paddington, Cheryl and I boarded the 16:45 to Swansea. We were lucky get seats. The train was short-formed if only 5 coaches, so the aisles are packed with standees.

And yet the women demanding trans people be excluded from public life seem to insist that they are the only “real” women and that any women who disagree with them should be “re-educated,” probably by force.

I happened to notice from the in-flight map that Ben Nevis is only about 400 ft / 120 m higher than my home in Fernley, Nevada. And Fernley is on the floor of an ancient playa surrounded by mountains.

Well, how about that! I finally managed to get about 3 hours of sleep, dozing off as our flight left the Quebec coast toward Greenland, then waking up about halfway between Iceland and Scotland.

About 40% of the way there, as our plane heads out across Hudson Bay. Glad I got the premium Economy seat, but sleep is very elusive for me in a plane. Now if it were a train, I’d been asleep hours ago.

As expected, we’re flying not too far north of Fernley. If I were standing on my front porch at home, I might make out this flight passing over Pyramid Lake.

On board. Decided to buy the onboard wi-fi because it was only 800 United miles. We’re holding to leave 10 minutes late because we were projected to arrive 30 minutes early, and Heathrow doesn’t like anyone arriving more than 20 minutes early.

Here’s hoping I’m this sleepy on the plane a couple of hours from now. So glad I got to chill in the lounge for a get hours. Not many sugar free, caffeine free drinks other than water in the “everything” soda dispenser. I ended up running them out of Barq’ SF vanilla cream soda.

Surprise! The Premium Economy (Business) upgrade included Lounge access. This is good because it’s more than three hours until my flight boards and while the airport is hot, the lounge is comfortable.

Landed at SFO. Easy flight. Glad I was in row 1. I had barely enough time to use the lavatory once the fasten seat belt sign came off before the return-to-your-seat announcement.

Through Security. My first class upgrades was very useful. For a change, the main queue was mobbed. Also they had a security queue where I could leave my computer and CPAP in my bag and leave my shoes on. Didn’t even get the usual pat down. 90 minutes to boarding.

First one in the door when the Wigwam opened this morning. Last breakfast before heading to the UK this afternoon. First/business class upgrades today, which will help.
Look for travel from Reno to SFO to LHR today: pink trainers, black stretch jeans, a white tight fitting blouse, a silver chain necklace, an a smile.
