Everything is ready for me to buy a cute maisonette in Fife next week, but NS&I decided to post me a letter to query my name before they'd send me my money. Everything worked fine when I took money out a few weeks ago. They didn't even tell me something had gone wrong. Very stressful.

With Dolly and Curry leaving us, I invite everyone to enjoy this picture that one of my nieces drew. I have it as my phone wallpaper. I can't seem to adjust the awkward thumbnail crop.

They have some sort of cup or bowl or maybe a bath or backpack with them.

GNU Dolly Parton and Tim Curry. They both made the world a better place. We'll miss them, but we'll never forget them.

Today's Fringe show: Terry Pratchett's Mort Excellent, I especially enjoyed the reimagining of Cutwell. Death must've been so hard to play, but it was fantastic. Well done those kids. 😊

The Leave Review button on EdFringe takes me to my tickets. So: Space Cadet at The Caves is excellent, highly recommended.

Saw Mhairi Black and Kevin Quantum. Good jokes but I had to leave early because the magician's lights were too painful.

I didn't have the budget to give away Blahaj this time, but I brought Bubble from TADC. We met Jax there too. 😊🏳️‍🌈💜🏳️‍⚧️🦈

I'm getting fed up of supermarkets treating such rules as optional.

I did it at Trans Pride Scotland a few weeks ago because I was feeling negative and wanted to spread some positivity. I enjoyed it so much that I did it again.

I bought a big one for £23 and 6 normal ones for £5 each to give out at Edinburgh Pride. Worth it. 🦈

Sporty Pride was great today. Loads of people joined us for padel, which is a tremendously fun game. I joined Portobello's football team for some exercises and a kick about. Great fun, lovely people, smashing day. 😊

Portobello Pride. I haven't got my usual energy today but it's great. 😊

Violence against women and girls is a national emergency that we all must commit to urgently tackling. This legislation would be accompanied by funding for violence prevention services in local councils, schools, and community organisations to help end gender-based violence for good.

All sharks have been given new homes and loving owners, except for Unpronounceable Swedish Shark, who returns home with me. She hopes they all stay in touch. 🦈

I haven't seen Outlander either but I saw one of the actors giving a tour and he seemed like a really nice fella so I want to watch it just to support him.

I went to the Horrible Histories Concert with my mum. It was very good, and it was lovely to see such a varied audience enjoying the show.

This story, from @natezuke.bsky.social, is absolutely wild. A trans woman who never changed her gender marker was issued a letter invalidating her license. At the DMV they cut up her license, which had an "M" marker. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

She’d Never Changed Her Gender Marker. Kansas Invalidated Her License Anyway. — Assigned
A trans Kansas resident recently changed her name but not her gender marker on her license, fearing what Kansas may do if she did. The Kansas DMV still flagged her ID.

40th birthday party over. So many good friends from so many different walks of life. I feel like I must've been doing really well in life to have such lovely people around me. I wonder how the next ten years will go, but I feel strangely optimistic. :)
