We are now further away from the theatrical release of Raiders of the Lost Ark (June 12, 1981) than it was from the year it takes place in (1936). We have reached the Indiana Jones event horizon.

In April, I wondered what a trans toilet ban might look like in practice. Trans people and their cis women allies have been sounding these alarms for years. It now seems clear that the UK government took all these dire warnings as policy proposals.

www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle-co...
With 8,000 holders of gender recognition certificates now unsure if they’re barred from peeing once they leave the house, some have argued that the provision of millions of unisex toilets might be the answer. Considering these would be the same unisex toilets they never got round to building for Britain’s 4m pre-school age kids — and their awkward dads — we can dismiss this stalling tactic with the contempt it deserves. We might also consider what this means for the millions of cis women who do not fit the standard, sexist notion of “femininity” which logic dictates they must be checked against to enforce this ruling. Too tall, perhaps, too strong-jawed, or short-haired — anything that one patron, one witness, one supermarket or leisure centre security guard might consider cause to question their femininity. And how might they prove their “real” gender? How would you? Perhaps my conception of feminism has been mis-calibrated all this time, and true freedom for women is mandating that they carry their birth certificates around with them all day, so they can be checked by citizen genital inspectors, male and female, encouraged to presume you’re a predator first, and work backwards from there.

⏰This is your reminder to check that bonfire thoroughly before lighting!🚨

Hedgehogs and other animals are looking to hibernate at this time of year, and a pile of logs and leaves are a very appealing place to snuggle up for winter.

“When black cats prowl and pumpkins gleam, may luck be yours on Halloween.”

Happy #Halloween all 🎃

🎨 'Jack Jill and Jol' by Margaryta Yermolayeva
Painting of a Halloween scene at night. In the foreground are three black cats, one dressed as a witch, walking on their hind legs and holding pumpkins with carved faces on. In the background are trees with orange leaves. To the left is a large spooky house and in front of it a field with a scarecrow in, and a fence round the field with a crow sitting on it and two more carved pumpkins. On the right is a graveyard with numerous tombstones. Behind it all is a huge yellow Moon with a witch on a broomstick flying in front. https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1212710399/5x7-jack-jill-and-jol-ryta-art-halloween
