This probably happened a while ago, but the news just got to me. WTAF.
Trans people still exist, even if references to them are deleted from every single site.
The entire alphabet mafia will still exist.
We are people. People exist.

So, this is "fun" as in fu(-n +ck)ed up.
This administration has decided to remove the TQ+ leaving just the LGBs.

Saturday morning. Coffee. This Old House on TV. Picking out a couch. Designing cat friendly shelving for our screen porch. Thinking of work on my in-progress painting. Validation of friends' emotions. Hurting for Ukraine. Wondering what the day will bring.

The '3.5% rule': How a small minority can change the world Nonviolent protests are twice as likely to succeed as armed conflicts – and those engaging a threshold of 3.5% of the population have never failed to bring about change.

Source for others that are curious. 3.5% isn't many

I bet way more people see you and think they should thank you but just don't act on it.

I loved Fairy Tale! Wasn't sure that it would, but it did. Thanks for saving Radar ❤️

Not by policy, or prayer, or deleted data. We still exist.

Excited about my 2nd painting of the year -Sol's

Hard core. I'm definitely weighing my need for purchases more these days. I feel like it's a tiny drop in the bucket. We've created monsters.

We will take the whole week. Thanks. 😁

My favorite part of creating a painting is towards the end when I add marks, change colors, & rework. I sat down with this a while ago to relieve the tightness in my chest. It worked. Nothing stays the same. #colorsoakedcity

The New Government says there are only 2 genders, and are defined within strict perimeters. Nature says otherwise.
Be kind.
