Western Isles versus Outer Hebrides: Is there a preference locally for one over the other? Or is another name more usual?

This sounds interesting. Does anyone have any pertinent thoughts on the matter before I do anything impulsive?

It looks as though I'll have a few days in Kernow at the end of the month. Where should I definitely go for: History/archaeology/folk history/folklore Birds and other wildlife Good walking Affordable food Good ale & cider? Would any friends between here and there appreciate a visit/want to meet?

Thinking about my birthday (end of November) and wondering whether any friends might fancy a bit of a road trip to Kernow and SW Englandshire. I've found plausible (i.e. very basic but affordable) accommodation in Tewynblustri/Newquay but I'd be happy to upgrade within reason. Happy to visit also

St Janey Godley (1961-2024), patron saint of trans ppl & Scotland. It is traditional that locals bearing shields, emblazoned with the Saint’s motto, face off against vampires, vandals & sociopathic narcissists. A tradition that is ongoing.

[9] Some people can be born with the genitalia of both ‘sexes’. Are they male or female? Some can be genetically tested &, despite having given birth to children, be found to be male. Others identify as the opposite sex. As you can see, talking of ‘sex’ with 19th C definitions can be challenging.

Bore ym Meirionnydd Morning in Meirionnydd

Edrych dros iard Rheilffordd Ffestiniog tua mynyddoedd Eryri. Mae'r awyr yn ddulas a'r golau dros y mynydd yn wan ac yn bygwth rhagor o law cyn diwedd y dydd.

Gwelir toeon siediau'r rheilffordd, yn gymysgedd o sinc a llechi, a phwff o fwg yn codi o'r to llechi ar ochr chwith y llun.

Looking over the Ffestiniog Railway yard towards the mountains of Eryri. The sky is blue-black and the light on the mountain is weak and watery and threatens more reason before the day is out.

We look over the tops of the buildings which are roofed with a mixture of slate and corrugated metal ('zinc' or 'tin-roofed') and a puff of smoke can be seen rising from the slate roof on the left

This makes me happy, not least remembering the great Lyra McKee* (1990-2019), murdered by extremists. She was one of the best of us. The part of the window I love most is the mottled colours of the rainbow stretching out on the marble floor enticing our communities forward!

Both young and old approach tech the same way. They interact with it like a white goods product. Neither group understands how it really works. It's only GenX/Y (the ones who used to program the family VCR) who's tech education evolved at the same pace as the technology itself who seem to get it.

So it’s time to update the ‘technical’ side to match what has been actual practice for decades: free, legal, widely available abortion up to viability. Call or write to your MPs, now. I know we’re all tired and there’s so much, but this too must be a priority.

Today is Romani Resistance Day, which commemorates the day in 1944 when 6,000 Romani prisoners in the Zigeunerlager at Auschwitz-Birkenau learned that they were all to be gassed, and rose up to fight back with “stones, iron pipes, wood panels, barbed wire [and] smuggled pikes.”

Finally, some sense. Grub out the stump and put something native and long-lived in its place. A sessile oak or an ash would be good if they grow in the area, or a pedunculate ('common') oak if not

If you wouldn't accept Nigel Farage's framing on migration or use his rhetoric, stop accepting anti-trans framing and using their rhetoric. Trans people do not 'identify' as their gender any more than you identify with yours. We are that gender. End of story. As for 'biologically male/female' no!
