It is Book Quote Wednesday and the word is 'treat'. Your treat for today is an extract from 'Incoming' by JL George, one of the many fine stories in They Are Still Here, on pre-order now: wizardstowerpress.co...

Her people lived beneath the waves. They had done for centuries, since her father left dry land. Rhys Dwfn was his name—Rhys of the deep, the wise, the long-lived. He’d warned them to stay away from the world above. Land-dwellers had never done him any good, and surely they’d treat his daughters no better.
But Rhys had grown set in his ways. The longer he lived, the more adamant he was that the human world would never change.
He was not exactly wrong. They saw the evidence of that every day, washed into the sea—all the land-dwellers’ waste, plastics that never rotted as live things do, nets that caught up the creatures of the sea and throttled the life from them. Oil, sometimes, an acrid, clinging poison. And sewage, choking clouds of effluent that lingered in the water for days, making the sea-dwellers sick, so that they came to dread the rain.

Absolutely it has! We now have the situation where, if a trans woman with a GRC were to get married, she’d be recognise as female for the wedding ceremony, but should not be using the women’s toilets at her wedding reception, unless they’re designated as trans inclusive.

Just had a PIP appointment. It took an hour and twenty minutes and I'm just utterly exhausted. Totally drained of everything. The woman was nice but it was just so invasive. Not the most invasive thing I've ever done - initial appointment at the GIC beats it hands down - but still pretty bad.

My eternal frustration with Wonder Woman is that it could be much more credible with only a few small changes. For example, if you give the plane a second set of wings, it's a lot more believable, due to bi invisibility.

Quote: Perhaps stopping dead—not the best choice of words—in the middle of the courtyard and shouting at nothing was somewhat unusual behaviour. I gave them a reassuring nod, and diverted over to the left, where there were a couple of cherry trees, boughs laden with flowers, and I could lose my mind in peace.
