Trans rights are not the rights of a tiny minority, trans rights are everyone’s rights to self-determination, control of our bodies, and a society where opportunity and aesthetics are not restricted by sex assigned at birth

You should support and defend trans people because trans people are people

This overcast, gloomy 4th of July really suits my mood, given the sheer, hateful stupidity of the MAGA Trumpers. Sigh. I’m so tired of being angry and scared, for my family and all the people in the U.S. Sorry this doesn’t really add anything to the discourse… Just here, queer and venting.

Thank you to my son and his day care for this terrifying Father’s Day gift.
Selfie of Dan. He has a White Jesus look. Ooh, isn’t he handsome! He’s wearing a black and white trucker hat with his son’s handprints in red on the top and “DAD” on the brim.

On my way home with a PC on the bus… cheaper than a Zip Car/taxi! This will bring the total number of working computers in our apartment to 5… 2 of which came home within 3 days of each other. 🤓

Happy sweet 16 to our littlest miss, Belle! She’s our wee-angel-baby-princess, and we love her chirps and purrs so much! 🥰😻
Beautiful, silver and grey long haired cat on the back of the couch, with tail draped over the shoulder of a nerdy human wearing glasses.

Say it after me: Chat GPT is not a search engine. It does not scan the web for information, it just generates statistically likely sentences. You cannot use it a search engine, or as a substitute for searching.

Now. Please never use an LLM for information searches ever again.

Boo used to be able to curl up in the fruit bowl, now he barely fits standing up. Silly boy! (We had to stop keeping fruit in it, of course!)
Very large white and striped cat in large, flat fruit dish next to paper towel roll and holder.

Sorry to leave my few BlueSky peeps hanging - my shoulder is doing much better, and I only need PT. Phew! Thankful for no need for surgery. My teeth are also doing better - the splint is off, and now we wait to see how they do. Trauma in teeth can take awhile to show up… eep.

Good morning, BlueSky! It’s my birthday today. My wife is taking me to my favorite nursery and art store, so I likely won’t be on much until tomorrow. I love our community here, thank you for giving me a loving and supportive place to share my art. You’re the best 💛

I haven’t introduced you to my other studio cat, Belle. She’s very sweet with the most charming trills and meows. Her favorite hobby is laying down on my watercolor WIP when I’m not looking. She does love watching me paint 🎨 😻

#Caturday #StudioCat #Cat #ArtYear
My studio cat, Belle sitting on a tall stool behind my desk. In front of her are freshly laundered tea towels I use when I’m painting watercolor. Belle is gray and fluffy with adorable ears and large eyes. She always looks mad, but she’s really an affectionate angel.

Starting my first full week at my new/old branch, and I’m loving it. My commute was 11 minutes on my electric bike under full cruise power (tested for science!) The building is all new and fancy, which is a little odd after so many years at the old building, but I can’t complain about the amenities!

Quote of skeet by @verybadllama.bsky.social: if they want to go back to the 1950s, we're bringing the cuisine back to the 1950s too. you put me in the kitchen, I will spend 100% of my time in there finding how much horseradish and shrimp I can put in Jello before God personally comes down here to stop me.
