a gentle reminder that it is ✨always✨ a good time to pop in your earbuds and listen to Joni Mitchell’s seminal album Blue while you take a walk, hit a garden store, or pick up groceries

You’re too kind ❤️

The kids are alright

Dinner table ideas for new nat’l holidays:

🔹Free day: everyone gets the things they need for free.

🔹Minecraft day: everyone plays Minecraft together for the whole day.

🔹Help day: everyone gets a half day at school/work, followed by giant dog adoption parties until all the dogs have homes. 🥹

Doubly effective when combined with "the look" lol

Standing up for our trans children ​Parents of trans youth share their experiences and advocate for acceptance and support.

Trans kids are just kids. Immigrant kids are just kids. Empathy isn’t a deficit, it’s a super power.

“When politicians speak with contempt about transgender children, remember: they're talking about our beautiful, ordinary children who simply want to belong.”

My partner and I spent most of the past six years as foster parents getting these amazing siblings out of the system and reunited with one another. Now we’re just a happy family ❤️
