On Transgender Day of Remembrance, California mourns and honors all the trans and gender non-conforming people taken from us by violence and discrimination.

I see there's once again Discourse about blocking. You are not entitled to anyone else's attention, and nor are you obliged to pay attention to anyone else.

The library did a profile on board members & I shared that my favourite book in the world is A Prayer For Owen Meany. Now I am hearing from people in town who also love the book. Instant best friends! Tonight we introduced kiddo to Simon Birch (film adaptation) & what it means to be a hero. So good.
