We were having a discussion about this, and I was in research mode.
One thing about positive research is it offers more opportunity for research and knowledge. This isa good example of that for me.

Rosie has become a fan of standing on my necklace, which pulls it against my neck. It's an action of love, I think, though it hurts a little.
Looking at the pictures, though, I'm a little sad for our dinosaur wooble, who had a claw on the eye and nose. Poor baby.

Ugh!! Today's nausea and headache are caused by the frickin' wind/rain storm that will not pause. It's not going to for a few days. If it wasn't for in town procedures, we might fly somewhere that's warmer.

On #InternationalDayOfPersonsWithDisabilities, let’s amplify the leadership of people with disabilities. This year’s theme is all about creating an inclusive future. Congress must back programs like AbilityOne to create an inclusive future and remove roadblocks.

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. Each year, the trans community loses too many lives, especially trans women of color, to hate and violence.
More than ever, we must stand by our trans family and support them, hold space for them, and insist the scapegoating and targeting stop.
Now.

We have pet allergies in our family, so no cats or dogs. We've had several amazing gerbils, these two recently. Free Range Gerbils. Allowed in spaces upstairs.
Our newest pet is a bearded dragon. She is shown in her backpack and in her dragon costume with her favorite dragon.
