Well, the TDOR event at Bristol went pretty well. Huge thanks to everyone who came, and to the Council for providing the space. We had 18 people in total, which was 50% more than my top-end estimate.

I appear to have done OK with the reading of the names, though I’m sure I butchered the pronunciation on some. As usual with such things, my main concern was that the event should not be disrupted by some activist taking exception to something I did or said. And if you think that’s far-fetched, one of Roz’s young friends reported via Twitter being spat at after her presentation at a local event because she’d tried to emphasize the fact that the event should be about those who died, not about relatively safe middle-class white people. Trans people can be just as stupid as the rest of society at times.

Anyway, it’s done. And there should be some further coverage on Shout Out tomorrow night (thanks to Niall & Nathan).

Now, what am I going to do with all of these left-over candles…?
