The thing about emotions is they come across you in waves, and I do mean like the sea. There are the lapping waves that you can see coming and there’s a predictable regularity to them and then sometimes there’s a storm out deep at sea and it moves all the water around until the waves … Read More
I am glad that I know Glasgow pretty well, not only because it makes studying there easier but also because it doesn’t feel as bad as perhaps it would knowing that the last time I was here I went on a date with The Fae Ref. I suspect if I ever end up in A&E … Read More
The thing that I do love about polyamory, that I’ve loved since before the Jellicle and I started this weird loving journey of ours is how each love adds to the loves you already have.

A word of warning, this post may veer into the self-congratulatory. Feel free to comment appropriately. Earlier I was explaining to someone that I had been diagnosed with my fourth chronic illness. They reacted. My inner voice as they reacted was basically saying “calm down it’s not a tragedy.” I suspect their emotional response was … Read More
I’m sort of amused and intrigued. Last year I was asked to speak about my relationships to the Young Quakers, BBM is very involved with them and knows me hence the invitation. So I went and talked to them and had a rather good time, seriously, I left feeling like I was some sort of … Read More
