[mental health, transphobia, Christmas]

My mom was mentally fragile, paranoid and frequently suicidal. I was really nervous about coming out to her as trans. "Don't upset your mother" was my dad's number one rule.

Once Upon A Time I despaired at the Radio Times giving more acreage to what film stars had for breakfast than to the actual times of the radio programmes.

Whenever I post something criticising the nasty little racist state of Israel, I get blocked by a handful of random accounts.

Merry Christmas.
