Today is the transgender day of visibility. I don't know what to say more globally on the matter, but personally: there is a part of me that is the heterodox tech thinker. I write articles: I get quite a few views, I am popular. Then there's the trans side of me: the person who can't get a job however good and socially well-adjusted I am. Those parts don't often cohabit in people's minds. I can be the clever person who write the things that people love, or I can be the trans girl trying to make

Comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS over Ancestral Puebloan structures at Chaco Culture National Historical Park (Oct. 2024). Moon light, to illuminate the foreground makes all the difference in comet wide-angle comet photography. Earlier, that week, I caught the comet over the Grand Canyon and the Sonoran Desert. I wasn't very happy with my shots from Chaco. I should have used a tripod & made a composite.

Paul O'Grady died a year ago.
It's 1987. The Metropolitan Police are waging an intimidation campaign against London's LBTQ+ community.
Wearing rubber gloves to "protect from AIDS" they raid the Royal Vauxhall Tavern
"Well well," says Lily Savage (Paul O'Grady) from the stage as the police pile into the venue. "It looks like we’ve got help with the washing up"
The raid was one of a number carried out by the police, using obscure laws as justification for their intimidation.
In this instance, the excuse was "reports of drunkenness on premises"
With Lily continuing to mock the police, she was handcuffed and arrested with others.
Paul refused to drop his alter ego for the entire duration events.
When she was booked in, and ordered to give her name the answer was "Lily Savage".
When a REAL name was demanded, the reply was:
"Lily Veronica Mae Savage"
On release, Lily was back on stage the next night.
