The first posy in a thimble I made, to lift my mood during the pandemic. The flowers are all real.
When humans look at plants (even on a screen as here) we recover from stress 60% more quickly & the relaxation response is triggered in our brains.

Yesterday’s Supreme Court ruling will feel heavy for many of us - especially the trans community.
The mental health toll of public debate, constant scrutiny in the media, and legal decisions like this is profound. For trans people, this isn’t just political or legal. It’s personal. Exhausting. 1/4
