office door update
office door signage for LT1317 now has “Titania” inserted with a lambda-shaped caret between “Dr Conor” and “McBride”; “Dr Guillaume Allais” remains as is

These two gentlemen were kind enough to catcall me as I was on my way to the train. I thought their little car looked particularly nice at the moment, so I took a picture. #glasgow #misogyny #transphobia

My fit for voting was not subtle about for whom and why. I have, however, been accused of seeking the keys to the TARDIS.

So I’m in #boness for barely three hours and some charming male youths give me a torrent of verbal abuse. I just want to watch movies. I spotted them a bit later: it’s a small town. It’s a great life sometimes, being trans. I wonder how they came to think hating me is the stuff of valour.

This is it. Monkfish, wild garlic, samphire, tomatoes, tamarind, fenugreek, cumin, fennel, chilli, cardamom, love. I swung from tree to tree to fetch that wild garlic, in a fetching miniskirt. And I somehow managed not to snag my tights.

I went with more leg less boot. And a dress with no pockets, so thanks, @monaeltahawy.bsky.social, for the bag! Our workshop, Transactions in Category Theory was lots of fun. Two of us Glaswegian transes were invited to plum roles in a conference…in Florida. We organised an alternative instead.

I realised it was an error to leave youse lot out of this loop. Sighted next to Bar & Tender on Woodlands Road, Glasgow, independently by three witnesses who have thus far got in touch. I wonder what is going on, and if I am the person in question, what the question actually is.
