Help this trans biologist get heard. Sex is complicated and that message needs to get out.

Dr Kate Manne, philosopher, is worth reading. Her books deepened my thinking about human relations, the roots of the harm, and changed me.

I was a HELL NO on ICE funding in the budget bill then, and I’m a HELL NO on ICE funding in the DHS funding bill now.

And take the Pennies they have away! They have shown that they are unwilling to follow laws

I felt it. I reported it. Borrego springs.

Baby’s (me) first earthquake. I am very excited to have felt it.

Earthquake (4.61M) 48 miles north of us near Indio Hills just a few minutes ago! We received USGS's shake alert in Borrego Springs just moments before feeling the rolling/weaving with a little shake.

White flowers with lots of green leaves growing in sand

Dune evening primrose plants the size of trash can lids. One single plant had 27 open flowers

Thank you Tara for mentioning this. It sounds like just what I need. I missed this one but I’ll try to catch the next one

Need more clues.
