disaffected young men in sunny Bo’ness
more disaffected young men in sunny Bo’ness
So I’m in #boness for barely three hours and some charming male youths give me a torrent of verbal abuse. I just want to watch movies. I spotted them a bit later: it’s a small town.
It’s a great life sometimes, being trans. I wonder how they came to think hating me is the stuff of valour.

Bo'ness Library took return of a book yesterday, more than half a century after it was borrowed.
Staff are sure it's because the #LoveLibraries campaign jogged some memories! 😄

The Scottish Railway Preservation Society, which operates the five-mile Railway, has wanted to build a signal box at Birkhill station for some time. www.railadvent.co.uk/2025/01/scottish-railway... #BoNessAndKinneilRailway #BoNess
