Biological women who aren't 'feminine enough" beware
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4g355v07l2o
"When asked to clarify this, the EHRC pointed to a section of the Supreme Court ruling stating that trans men could be excluded from women's facilities "where reasonable objection is taken to their presence, for example because the gender reassignment process has given them a masculine appearance or attributes to which reasonable objection might be taken" in the context of a women-only service."

pretty much the process in the U.K. is design to protect the NHS from a malpractice claim / so no-one sue them - like a kind of beaucratic ass covering. How we decide if some one trans resembles how we used to decide if some is a witch. Put them under water for 10+ years & if you still alive & still say you’re trans then you will get “care”. Health care delayed is health care deny…

I think one of the problems with the "cloud" is that people forget they still have point-to-point links between sites, which are often quite slow. They expect to move large amounts of data around without understanding the plumbing that allows that to happen. Loads of overlays obscure the plumbing - and the folks scratch their heads why things are so slow...

I'm 'new to' Karine Polwart and I had the pleasure to see her with Julie Fowlis and Mary Chapin Carpenter at the The Fire Station earlier this year. I picked up 2x CDs of Karine's.
Rather foolishly realised afterwards that my Hudson Records Club sub included a free download. Hey-ho, at least I have a CD for the van. I'd have to say "Laws of Motion" is a treat.
the track "Crow on the Cradle" is stunning.

- Occasionally, I got back to have a look. A bit slowing down for a car crash. I checked on UK trans-story - it was a veritable wasps nest - with absolutely no one with a counter-narrative. The thread read a hate-in (the reverse of the 60s 'love-in). You have to wonder how long they will enjoy being disagreeable when there is no one to disagree with their bile at.

mainly guitar and harmonium. I'm much more able on the guitar. Tend to use the harmonium as drone to accompany my guitar+single. Dabbled with other stringed instruments like mandolin, mandola, banjo, uke..

- I think Labour/Democrats focused on "cultural issues" because they were unwilling and unable to address the economic inequities in both the US and UK. Now they say seek to scapegoat "cultural issues" as their get-out-of-jail card for being useless. It's not as if being working class - and black, or a woman or LGBTQIA+ are mutually exclusive - as if working-class people were uniformly white and heterosexual. It's a fatuous excuse for their capitulation to neo-conservatism...

In case you missed it, my song "Selkie Child" was played by Dan James on his show on BGfm Community Radio last night.
The word eerie is a good description. The track is played around 8min 50s mark...

Working on my new (debut?) single - a reworking of Peter Bellamy's "Oak and Ash and Thorn" - although it's not a funk song, it's a folk song! :-)
Hopefully ready for release by the end of this month
