Well the holiday weekend is upon us here in the states. Unfortunately most people look at it as a time to raise cain, as with most holidays anymore. People just hink of it as time off for them not the real reason. Sad.

I’m going to enjoy the holiday by trying to relax and get away from the crazies. It’s a much needed 3 day weekend and then back to work. Not many people realize that the holiday was a way to commemorate the labor unions and give them a day to celebrate. Now it’s just a day to get sloshed or remember that white shoes are not fashionable through the rest of the year. So I’d better not get out my white canvas sneakers this weekend while I’m drinking boxed wine. Who am I kidding. I can’t even afford a discount six pack!?! Well, guess it’s a salad and some YouTube for me.

Isn’t every holiday just an excuse to get sloshed? ? Almost every holiday has some drinking involved, or it’s a money pit. ?

I presume from what Josie said your holiday is labor day, which I remember from wayback but here, for some reason, it ended up as May Day bank holiday which has always given me the picture of endless tanks rolling through Red Square, Moscow, round the block and past again to show endless might lol. I am not sure of its reasoning here. Our August bank holiday has just past. A good excuse to not go anywhere and get locked in gridlock on the roads lol. Have a lovely holiday everyone!

The traffic was nuts last night on the way to the library.  I'll be home this weekend, caring for goats and cutting firewood.  No drinking for this gal but i may get a "kick" by taking the '67 BMW motor cycle out for a ride.  I finally found how to keep my wig on when i take my helmet off.  I wear a long silk scarf around my head and tied under my chin.  Looks great and no awkward bald flashes.

 

Hugs,

 It’s similar to May Day but it’s not really the same thing. I also have the same image of tanks rolling through red square and parades but it doesn’t seem to have the same connotation now as it did in the 80s. I watched the last one and it was a happier event than when the communist party was running things. It used to be a bunch of serious somber blank faces clapping like it was mandatory with all the enthusiasm of a bunch of soulless clones. Now people wave and cheer because their relatives are in the parade. They also changed the words to many of the songs to reflect a much less political message and a more ethnic flavor. It’s no wonder that people enjoy the parade more than back then. They are allowed to. I personally don’t buy into the propaganda that they only changed the names of things but the communists are still in control. It’s just not the same vibe. Every country is trying to find their way into a better tomorrow. Sure, many are making mistakes but there’s also many that are learning from their past instead of repeating them. Sometimes the nonsense we hear is to distract us from what we have to work on in our own cultures. 

 

But enough musing. I’m home after spending half the day going to the phone repair shop to get a new battery installed and it was a good thing I did because the battery was bulging so bad that the screen was warped. Luckily I caught it early because if I had waited it might have been damaged. Once the new battery was inside, the screen went back to normal again and lays flat like it’s supposed to. It’s also missing a discoloration it had on the left edge. I’m guessing that was where the bulge was pushing the most because that’s the side where the battery is. It lasted about a year before it went bad. Hopefully it will last longer this time. The tech told me typically 6 months is the maximum lifetime. I went twice as long as expected. I’m not really worried though because eventually I really want to get a one plus 5t or 6t because it’s got a charge life of 2-4 days. So this phone will be fine until I can scrape the money together for a better one.

 

 I’m happily binging Farscape and it’s a great throwback to early 2000s sci fi. Maybe I’ll break things up by hunting around for a Halloween costume? I have 2 months to get ready for it.! I’m going to try getting things that I can also wear even after it’s over. October is also pride month here so maybe I’ll have a somewhat Halloween theme for that as well. I thought maybe it was because they were using the opportunity to wear costumes for pride but it turns out they changed it to October to avoid conflict with Juneteenth here. That’s a very huge tradition for African Americans everywhere in the south afaik.

What a beautiful vista Cyndee.  We spent yesterday in Portland, ME.  We had a nice (late) lunch then roamed around the shops.  So much fun.  Then we topped it off with gelato before heading home!   

 

Congratulations Debra.  That sounds like a nice truck.

Lovely view. I haven’t been to those mountains in many years. The last time was in the early 2000s. I’m definitely going to have to do it again sometime.

@Jani - that sounds like a very enjoyable trip, Portland, ME looks like a very scenic place. 

 

@Ellora - thanks ! I hope you have a wonderful day in paradise :)

Hi All,

 

We spent several days with our friends Penny and Stevi in NC.  We had a great time.  Supported Stevi at a talk she gave on LGBTQ, with emphasis on TG.  We had to leave a day earlier than planned thanks to Dorian.  The disaster in the Bahamas is devastating and I doubt we know all of it yet.

 

We had to come home to take care of our boat, move it and tie it up better, then board up the windows and make other preparations prior to the hurricane arriving here.  We have our generator to keep the refrigerator and a few lights on just in case we lose power.  We aren't leaving we are 3 miles from the ocean.

      I'd love to have a dinner party with Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Voltaire, and Ayn Rand.  Would definitely be an interesting time.

      In the forward I learn that transgenderism is bad, and somewhere else that transgender ideology is bad.  I have not yet read a definition of either in the document.  I assume they are the same.  I know Focus on a Family has a definition of transgenderism on their website, or did, but I am not sure this is the same as that.  I might agree that transgenderism is bad if they use a definition I condemn (e.g. transgenderism means you always pour ketchup in your shoes before you put them on - I could not agree to that).  Is someone who believes in transgenderism, whatever it is, a transgenderist? I never see that term.  There may be other definitions out there, but I don't think there is an Official Definition that we all agree to.

      Crazy fact, was gonna go to the school where this went down at before I moved, have a lot of friends there. I know at least one of my friends met the guy on one occasion, not knowing who it was.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      They are thinking of Loudon.  The problem there was the girls were not protected from a known predator, who was moved from one school to another instead being effectively disciplined.  Outlaw school administrators? <sarc>

      How ironic.  I agree with the governor "“You cannot change your gender; you cannot pick your gender…there is a confused group of people that somehow think you can,”    - we are what we are, we are fighting the fact we CANNOT change our gender, which we did not pick.  Many if not all of us would not have picked a trans condition and have sought to evade, deny or move out or resolve it anyway we can.  Those who are confused on this issue are not trans folk.  They want us to change our gender but they deny we can.  Confusion.

      @FinnyFinsterHH no one can satisfy your questions about what will the future hold. But I can advise you to slow your mind down as much as you're able. Take it slow and one moment at a time. This advice goes beyond the practical reality that that's truly all you can do - further, try to enjoy each moment. It's clear you have a lot of aspirations regarding transition. But it's best to try to accept the bounds of your life circumstances at present because if you develop worries or even resentments about them, that will only make you bitter and more anxious. Instead, try to focus on anything you find affirming. Practice positive self-talk and give yourself affirmations too. Try to let go of expectations of your family members - they can only deal with change to the capacity they're able due to their own life conditions. Allow them grace as you wish they would allow you. Practice patience.   Try this exercise - read through your post and make one list of the positive developments and another of things you cannot control (including the future). If you have a sense of spirituality, offer the second list as a sacrifice to however you understand a higher power - leave it in their hands. If you're not spiritual, then offer it up to hope. Then throw that list away. Keep the list of positives and leave some room on it because guaranteed you'll have more and more to add. Look forward to that, but don't let your mind think it can rush things. Try to enjoy the ride.

      I still have not read much of this.  Very little of this document pertains to trans folk.  Some of the statements are more than problematic concerning trans folk.   It certainly was not written just to get us.   " those with gender dysphoria should be expelled from military service."  and "Reverse policies that allow transgender individuals to serve in the military. Gender dysphoria is incompatible with the demands of military service,"  https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_CHAPTER-04.pdf are two lines out of hundreds if not thousands regarding the Department of Defense, targeting trans folk in an almost off-hand manner.    So if a fighter pilot, say, or a ship's captain, highly experienced and trained at enormous expense, is determined to be transgender (method unknown) the US loses someone badly needed due to the personnel shortage who is ready, willing and able to perform their duties.  Many trans folk have served well and transitioned later.  I don't think this point is well thought out.    A number of policy recommendations I would disagree with.  I am not sure there is a method to discuss those with the authors; I am attempting to find out.  I have good conservative creds.    They are fully intending to implement this, regardless of who the president is, as long as that president is conservative. It is not Trump centered.  I don't think he had anything to do with it.

      I wear a Delimira Mastectomy sleep bra with Vollence sleep rated breast forms. The form fit inside pockets so they don't touch your skin. I bought the bras on Amazon and found the forms on eBay. They were much less expensive than buying through the other sources.

      I don't wear a bra to bed.  The girls aren't big enough to need it, but still enough to appreciate.  Just a flannel nightgown suits me fine.
