Boy girl or not
This article is intended as a reflection, a collection of thoughts and some views based on experience. It is also a plea for care, consideration, understanding, 'tolerance' (if you can call it that), if not love. It is a plea to those (like me) with 'binary' understanding of their own sex and gender identity to accept rather than judge. You may already do so and I intend no suggestion that my thinking is in any way special. My thoughts, feelings and opinions are my own, and I make no claim that they are in any way different.

Dinosaurs were never scary. Content Warning.
You may have read one or two of my dino ditties, and thank you if you have. Each of these four poems focuses on a favorite dinosaur from my distant boyhood and provides what I hope is a lighter side to the dinosaur story.

Unloved stories
Posting this in response to the wonderful Paul Stewart's fabulous Be Your Own Advocate challenge. I thought it would be easier to explain my choices in a separate story space, rather than to cram my blathering into a comment on Paul's story. Anyways, here is a link to the challenge:

Happy Hash
What did you have for breakfast today? This is my little starter meal for the morning. Hash champignons et épinards. The basic recipe is vegetarian, vegan, kosher and halal but if you are embellishing the dish (see options below), it would of course depend on the the extras you choose. I know some can't imagine breakfast without their bacon, for instance.

Saved by a data grab
Ever been hoodwinked into giving up your personal data in return for a bogus or dubious free offer? Haven't we all! Not this time, I said. This time, I said "NO", refused to 'register' for free access to Wordle stats, and benefitted hugely by doing so. How did this happen?
