600 words on the new WiP; clay and temples and guilt. Poking at this one a bit to see where it wants to go. Right now it's acting like a snail after a hard night's snailing.

Oh no, not at all. I'm not in the GSFWC. (I'm a wee bit out of the Glasgow catchment 😂) I'm enjoying reading it though. I am in the Nova Scotia vol. 2 anthology that Luna is putting out.

I do wonder how many of the visiting folk to WorldCon actually care one iota about Scottish genre writers ...

Got the referral! She says it could take a long time so she's trying me with something used to treat fibromyalgia in the mean time.

Yeah, I've managed to get an appointment today, so we'll see if I get a referral or if I am once again told to take ibuprofen and lose weight....

Googling how to get a doctor to take you seriously.... The advice appears to be to die in front of them. But otherwise, tell them someone else made you go to the doctor, don't dress neatly/wear make up, keep going back.

Anyway I'm angry and tired because the UK as a whole is essentially a 2 party system because of the refusal to use proportional representation. So you get Full Fat Fuckery with the Tories, or Skim Milk Fuckery with Labour. And now Labour seems to be borrowing the Tory milk jug.

The wild thing about this is that Starmer, once the top lawyer in the UK, is just plain wrong about this. The equality act is clear about this and there are multiple examples of case law stating exactly that trans women have the right to use single-sex spaces aligning with their gender identity.

And Keir Starmer can fuck all the way off if he thinks pandering to these bigoted fuckers is a good thing.

If trans and trans-allied folk are boring you with their posts, just remember that the UK hatred of trans people is currently been driven by a bigoted millionaire and her alt-right pals. And the UK politicians and media are amplifying them so you won't look behind the curtain It's terrifying.

I am begging genre magazines to vet their cover/interior artists if they don't have a dedicated and on-the-ball art department. Check their portfolios or something. And learn the AI tells.
