#introduction time!

Hi, I'm Bea. I seem to be leading a highly squiggly life that's led me through a wild range of experiences, has, at this point been going on for Some Time, and fortunately shows no signs of stopping yet.

Currently, amongst other things, I'm a #coder, a #boater, a #music obsessive, and a #cat mama, plus I #parent a non-zero irrational number of other humans of various ages in this, my sandwich era.

I've also been a #soundEngineer, a #teacher, a professional #psychic, a #theatre technician, and so on. I'm a #Londoner, a lapsed #Glaswegian and a recovering #NewYorker.

I'd list more specifics, but honestly they change all the time; two of the rare constants in my life are #singing and #bass, though I'm increasingly surrounded by a constellation of strange instruments; physical and digital, musical and nautical.

I'm also a #vegan (for the animals) #trans shapeshifter practising #nonMonogamy, and am gay for girls of most genders and apparently now the occasional boy. If this feels like rubbing it in your face, feel free to move your face.

I have an overdeveloped sense of justice, but only compared to your average late capitalist human, and the kind of highly spicy brain you'd expect from, uh, well, all of the above.

I'm afraid things are likely only going to get weirder from here.

No TERFs, no SWERFs, no cops, no Tories (or any other forms of fascism).

Warning! contains multitudes!

Spent a few hours at the ruins of Ashby-de-la-Zouch Castle today. Little steep on the entry fee, but the kids enjoyed running around and climbing the 90 step tower. 

Not a bad way to spend a few hours on a Sunday.

A quotation from Homer

Few match their fathers. Any tongue can tell
The more are worse: yea, almost none their sires excel.
 
[παῦροι γάρ τοι παῖδες ὁμοῖοι πατρὶ πέλονται,
οἱ πλέονες κακίους, παῦροι δέ τε πατρὸς ἀρείους.]

Homer (fl. 7th-8th C. BC) Greek author
The Odyssey [Ὀδύσσεια], Book 2, l. 276ff (2.276) [Athena to Telemachus] (c. 700 BC) [tr. Worsley (1861), st. 37]

A quotation from Homer

O prince, in early youth divinely wise,
Born, the Ulysses of thy age to rise
If to the son the father’s worth descends,
O’er the wide wave success thy ways attends
To tread the walks of death he stood prepared;
And what he greatly thought, he nobly dared.
 
[Τηλέμαχ᾽, οὐδ᾽ ὄπιθεν κακὸς ἔσσεαι οὐδ᾽ ἀνοήμων,
εἰ δή τοι σοῦ πατρὸς ἐνέστακται μένος ἠύ,
οἷος κεῖνος ἔην τελέσαι ἔργον τε ἔπος τε:
οὔ τοι ἔπειθ᾽ ἁλίη ὁδὸς ἔσσεται οὐδ᾽ ἀτέλεστος.]

Homer (fl. 7th-8th C. BC) Greek author
The Odyssey [Ὀδύσσεια], Book 2, l. 271ff (2.271-274) (c. 700 BC) [tr. Pope (1725)]

A quotation from Euripides

CHORUS: I say that mortals who have no experience
   Of and have never had children
   Have a better chance for happiness
   Than those who bear them.
 
ΚΥΚΛΩΨ: καί φημι βροτῶν οἵτινές εἰσιν
   πάμπαν ἄπειροι μηδ᾿ ἐφύτευσαν
   παῖδας προφέρειν εἰς εὐτυχίαν
   τῶν γειναμένων.

Euripides (485?-406? BC) Greek tragic dramatist
Medea [Μήδεια], l. 1090ff (431 BC) [tr. @sentantiq (2020)]

Alright. I've stumbled onto an area of Tiktok that's leaving me somewhat confused.

The #Question:

My young daughter needs to go to the toilet. Should I (Dad) take her into the men's to use a cubicle, or the women's to use the cubicle? She's not old enough to go in on her own/can't wipe etc etc.

What's the correct course of action here because honestly, the thing I *was* doing appears to go against what I'm seeing on tiktok and I'm wondering if I'm going crazy or if Tiktok is being Tiktok again and warping reality.

A quotation from Jane Fonda

When a child enters the world through you, it alters everything on a psychic, psychological and purely practical level. You’re just not free anymore to do what you want to do. And it’s not the same again. Ever.

Jane Fonda (b. 1937) American actress and activist
Interview (1980-11-28) by Danae Brook, “At Home with Tom and Jane,” Los Angeles Weekly
