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.

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! 🥰😻

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!)

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.

Happy Birthday, Luv! 😘🥰🥳 So happy to spend many more revolutions around the sun with you!!
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 🎨 😻

For. Real. Sigh
I think it's important to remember, with everything extremely fucked up and dumb right now, that at the root of it, fuck fuck fucking fucking fuck.

Apparently it’s #macromonday. How serendipitous that a friend just taught me a great technique for that on the ol’ iPhone!

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!
