We are here to live stream the presenting of the awards for local Scarecrows, but we are here none the less.

I haven't been in church before church for years. 🀩 Image
I forgot to bring anything smart, so I'm wearing THESE hole-y shorts in church. Image
Someone just told me, 'I wish I could wear that'

Ok.

I've taken my hat off now.
Church music kinda just makes me want to cry these days that's all
I actually don't think I'll ever fit back into church for real.

I'm scared of half the people. 😬
Uuugchhhh. Finished now. Excuse me while I chat to no one and get out of here ASAP.
So apparently involuntary 'holy spirit' twitches come back in church, and they should be glad I didn't accidentally shout 'Shakka!' at any point.

I'm back on Havelock today. Had to take a break to read the wonderful Heaven Come Down book from Chrissie. But now I'm back. #havelockellis
Honestly Have, for all his faults, is an engaging writer and drops take downs into his writing with greatest of ease.

He discusses how when the 'sexual instinct' first appears in youth it is often not specifically directed, and mentions that women are often forced on young -

This is the book (and speaker) recommended by the church I was looking at joining after the Pandam.

Hands up if you think it's going to be a well thought out, helpful, harm-reduction focused education.

Hands up if you think it'll be sex jokes and Purity Culture πŸ–οΈ
If the Evangelical Alliance recommended my book I would need to flush myself down the toilet.
The author says he felt guilty about looking at boobs AGED FIVE.

I'm sorry but growing up in a shame-filled Purity Culture world like that from such an early age probably DIDN'T help create a balanced world view on sex at all. I feel sorry for that five year old.

These photos of the love, care and attention given to Georgia Black shortly befit her death in June 1951. The woman combing her hair is the sister of her husband. β™₯ A church leader (and of Women's Missionary Society), her story as a trans woman was protected
by her Pastor, of a Methodist Church.

Her funeral was attended by Black and white mourners, described in Black on Both Sides as, "a remarkable gesture of desegregation" at the time.
The care and dignity shown to this woman in 1951 touched me deeply.

Had a dream that I had to come out to my parents in a different way, and it was one of those ten my stressful building up dreams that keep getting more intense till it all comes out, and yet, it went well in the dream!
My mom *in my dream*: But I thought you were attracted to the girls on Bake Off
Me: Did you not see the way I looked at Andrew every time he was on screen???

Okay dream Drappa calm down πŸ˜‚
Me: and I have a boyfriend, you've met him, my friend Pete
My dad *in the dream*: You mean 'dearest Peaches'?

Apparently in my dream that was my affectionate nickname for him πŸ˜‚
