‘Stop these crazy bills’: Republicans join Democrats to defeat anti-trans legislation in Montana One bill would remove trans children from their parents, and the other would ban drag shows and Pride marches

Last year, Republicans silenced her.

This year, many stood beside her and defeated four anti-trans bills.

This is the power of standing up for your beliefs and for what's right, and good trouble.

National Democrats, take notice.

Got the spring/Easter birds out this week. Mostly new this year.

Also, my spring birds arrived, officially to be put on display in March.

A critical point.

Just trying to deal with everything so I decided to do some coloring.

For the people who used to ask 'Why do you have to be so political?' I hope that it's now obvious why.

I love this pic of Theo menacing the birds.

As of this weekend we have new friends, Ghost and Milo. We are in love.

The things we do for love.

I'm not officially setting them out yet because we haven't even had Thanksgiving yet, but these guys are so stinkin' cute!

Target didn't have Halloween birds this year, which makes me sad but I did add all of my previous ones to the holiday table.

Had a nice low key time at the event this weekend. Enjoyed having a cabin and feast was great. It was also nice to welcome some newcomers with kiddos interested in boffer.
