A few things

[elisi]

Was working from home today and decided to put on some ambient music rather than the radio:

Watch on YouTube

If you need to work/write/concentrate it's wonderful. And - contrary to all laws of the internet - the comments are delightful too.

John Bishop's new companion Dan helps people in need - and this kind of representation is essential, writes Beth Axford.

And thanks to Twitter I came across this story which is just incredible.

i news: The secret court case 50 years ago that has robbed transgender people of their rights ever since
The story of Ewan Forbes shows how trans people were able to enjoy equality – until it was quietly removed to protect male rights of succession

You can get the book here:

The Hidden Case of Ewan Forbes : The Transgender Trial that Threatened to Upend the British Establishment Hardback

I might need to buy this asap...

ETA:

Just so I'm clear, as of today, Steve Bannon is indicted and Britney Spears is free?

Love that last tweet, lol!! It may be weird, but it is a good weird!

Thank you for the music and links, dearest!

*HUGS*

I am all for good weird. More of that please.

And I hope the music helps, if you need calm. <3

Which is why we need to smash the patriarchy *nod*

Amazing how many things 'destroying the patriarchy' would solve!

I love that ambient music. I used to have an app on my phone that played different ambient tones and music. It was useful when I was a teacher in a busy staff room. I must see if you can get something similar now.

!! I can imagine. At work we tend to have the radio on (Greatest Hits!) and I usually go for Classic FM when I am at home, but I thought I'd try something different.

There must be loads!
