Detroit

[DetroitOtherday]

Hello?

Hopefully Detroit is sleeping too now.

And having sweet dreams.

Terfton Abbey is perfect!

For a few crazy moments I wondered about joining a nunnery. I'm not Catholic. Don't like the Catholic Church and their abuses of women and children. But they may well be fully female spaces. Surely! Nope. Apparently there are trans nuns.

Well. Fuck.

Its very dark, and quiet now. I have nightmares I struggle to cope with. So I turn on the phone, bit of light helps. I sleep later in the morning when it feels safer.

I need a dog. An older dog. I can't even do that, it wouldnt be fair would it.

Oh my! A sleeping koala! I never knew dingos were so handsome! Thank you for that!

Hello Stoptheworld! I'm around for now, unless something spooks me.

Im going looking for a manual typewriter at Goodwill tomorrow. A trip to town, buy provisions. I probably should have done it today, but got lazy.

What trans person volunteers for a women's shelter, insinuating themselves into a space they don't need to use, and put their so called right to volunteer over women's rights to dick free spaces. Not a kind, gentle empathic one.

Yes, I don't think anything more needs to be said. The Vancouver Rape Relief court case was a big peak TRA moment when I learned about it.

We have very noisy squirrels. They sound like a cross between a duck and a baby.

I think they are swearing.

Hyper little things. I'm quite fond of the little black squirrel, and the flying ones. The noisy little guy who lives in the tree above me also throws pine cones.

There is a squirrel that runs across our pub shed roof

First time we were all like WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT!!!!

LIBRARY.

Will it have snuggly warm wood burner and some chairs? Please let it.

I can also crochet. some. blankeys. for the winter.

And chop and stack wood.

I'm quite useful when I want to be.

I've been looking longingly at beautiful big houses down in West Virginia. Plenty of room for the retreat, the goats and craft rooms. We could even have a women only music and arts festival. Except that wouldn't be allowed would it. Men would legally be demanding to join in and invade our space.

Today it's Patti Smith, radio Ethiopia.

My turn to be loud.

Patti might be offending some squirrels.

I love Patti.

Morning Detroit (when you wake up at any rate - guess it's still the middle of the night where you are). How're things?

Good morning, Detroit.

One day, we will win.

Have a good day Detroit.

Good morning, hope you're managing to get some undisturbed sleep. Have a good day.

Detroit hope you’re enjoying your day I’ve noticed you’ve had a few innocuous posts on other threads deleted.

Do not be disheartened! TRAs may be trying to push you out. It can feel like a pincer movement- goady posts jabbing you in the ribs, with baffling modding prodding you in the back. Hang in there, your voice is important.

Oops random there - I was going to explain that the I think used to be allowed as a way to say “I’m not going to respond to this person,” but I’m not sure this is still the case, does anyone know?

It was unless you are stating you are trans on here in which case the automatic teflon coating means that the person not wanting to respond is then taken as being goady and rude.

Because context matters - anyone is fair game unless you are male exhibiting some concerning behaviours.

Years ago, while having a late night smoke, I was most alarmed by the sudden noises from the bottom of the garden. It was clearly something alive, and large - as big as a badger, I reckoned, from the volume - and angry, unlike anything I'd ever heard before.

Clearly it was something demonic.

I proper shat myself for a bit. Then I pulled myself together, remembered this is England, and crept down the garden path to investigate.

It was a pair of mating hedgehogs.

Hahahah brilliant - guess I’d complain tho if I was trying to get frisky with a pin cushion!

Evening all - tis wine o’clock here already. And it’s cold again - the library snug with a big wooly rug and some sloe gin would be perfect.

Detroit keep being loud

Yes, don't let the attempts at coercive control even on here deter you, Detroit. We're here. We hear you.

Hello, Sisters.

Well, total failure to find space in a women's shelter that does not accommodate xy people or have them ad volunteers, and even if I could find space in a homeless shelter, I'm too high risk, as I'm fleeing domestic violence.

So, I'm going to have to try and concentrate on getting a fair settlement from Mr Charming. Current attorney will only help if I take no part of property, pension, assets etc. What I'm being offered, and told to take after 20 plus years is...nothing but my freedom from a meaningless contract.

They can get lost. I'll stay married and away.

So, this is what I'm going to be doing, I guess. Weather is still good. I've not given up on things. Im not ashamed. I should have half the damn house and pension.

Today is pink Floyd, relics. Arnold Layne (who steals women's underwear off clothes lines), see Emily play...

As for deletions, it's to be expected. Men forcing their proclivities on women and being aided by women in order to do so, is about standard for my life right now

Fuck the patriarchy.

Omg Detroit that really sucks

I hope you find a place.

Sending peace and love 💕
