Buuut, I bought myself pizza for lunch, put a thing up on my blog which got seen by a bunch of nice people, and I threw a halfway decent outfit and makeup together to go out to the theatre last night, and I felt a load better for all of those (well, maybe not the pizza). It was a good reminder that actively practising/observing/choosing femininity feels better than just letting myself languish in jeans and oversized hoodie.

This is by design, and a number of solutions exist to generate a comments section onto a given page. However, a growing trend in the community is to put "Reply by email" or similar at the bottom of the comments section, often with their personal email address in plaintext in a
<a href="mailto:">tag. I quite like this idea, and I wanted to try it myself, but I know through bitter experience that having a plaintext email address on the open web is just asking for endless spam, so I went looking for solutions to the problem that didn't involve putting together a form, and found this page. It's interesting to look at what works and what doesn't, and I was surprised by how well some of the more trivial solutions work! -

As a trans woman myself, and with a kid who is almost certainly going to end up coming out as binary trans, I won’t even be pirating it. The sooner this shit fades to obscurity (yeah right) the better.

Until I heard this version, that is. I love the groove, and the more bluesy sound. That little tail riff that descends downwards (1:27 on this video) is so simple but so fucking cool. This performance is all over the place, and really fuzzy and messy, but I love it for that. It's got the feel of a band just jamming out a track that they only half know. It's such a ballsy way to open a show!
Forever gutted that I was born too late to ever see a Queen concert. I have long maintained that if I ever get my genie-wish one-time-only time travel deal (or I bump into a Doctor Who), that I'll be going back to Wembley Stadium on July 12th, 1986. Yes they played the rubbisher version of this song, but the whole setlist from that show is a complete banger.

It’s so good for the soul to see queer stories tacked into places that I have been and known and lived. It makes me feel so connected to the community.

It’s imperfect, but it’s definitely easier for my brain to wrangle! I have a smart playlist that surfaces anything favourited that I’ve not heard in a while (I think it’s set to six months, off the top of my head), and I get by pretty well like that. Though I do still find myself skipping tracks, that tends to be a mood-based response.
Which brings me to my main issue with rating (including my binary favourited/not favourited method) music and other media; I am a constantly evolving creature. What I am in the mood for shifts from day to day, week to week, and so on. It’s hard to build rankings that will be resilient to that kind of flux without constant tinkering and review. Which I would genuinely love to have the time for, but have not in a very long time!
Miasma by Ghost!
It’s an instrumental track, but great fun. The way they perform it live is superb.
