Quakers in Britain statement on the Equality and Human Rights Commission’s draft code of practice around the UK Supreme Court’s ruling on the meaning of sex in the Equality Act, which is currently before Parliament.
NHS and central government have once again made a decision based on ideology, without consulting patients or families, and in contravention of the available evidence. I am full of rage at this country. And fear for the future of trans and other marginalised communities.
Morning dress, USA, 1902
Note the lack of a 'u' - important context.
I'll hazard a guess that this is an indoor morning dress, given the colour and lightness, but maybe someone else knows.
Looks comfortable for enjoying your tea and toast anyhow.

Its somehow been 2 months since my last meditation upload!
This one is a simple practice in directing your awareness, and settling into stillness. Have a listen if that's of interest.
Also on other podcast things (apple, amazon, spotify), but I forgot how to get the links 😐

Dinner dress, France, 1903
Not sold on the colour scheme, but this is a fabulous dress. PLEASE click in and open the image in a new tab, the detailing is S-tier. I'm most taken by the neat little jacket, but the whole thing is rather lovely.

To hell with that. If you can't be bothered to recruit properly, I'm going to assume you'll be awful to work for.
Dress, Nebraska USA, 1902
I'm light on details here - can't even tell the fabric!
A simultaneously muted and extravagant dress. Extraordinary decorative detailing, but its just so dark! In bright sunlight I reckon it would be a sight to behold.

Riding ensemble, Morin Blossier, France, 1902
Not much time for fashion this week, but check this out! No way would I have called it as 1902 womenswear. Seems that it was inspired by 18th century men's fashion. The floral embroidery is lovely.

Update: Young people & families today received shocking & transphobic letters from NHS.
These letters tell people that endocrine care (blockers / HRT) is being fully withdrawn in 7 weeks time (July 31st).
Forced medical detransition.
This country is a danger to trans children & young people.

New meditation recording today.
A simple practice, sort of focused on manipura chakra, but really its what meditation always is. Being right here, right now, and simply letting that be enough.

Well. I didn't realise it had been two months! Life certainly got in the way. Here's a simple withdrawal of awareness practice, with a short (4-5 minute) silent meditation, just to get us back into th...
