3 infant #pertussis deaths this year in Kentucky. "Of the three infant deaths reported over the past 12 months, all three were not vaccinated, nor were their mothers."
We first tested maternal vaccination for whooping cough over 80 years ago. It's safe & effective & might have saved these babies.

Lilly enjoyed the sun for a bit, then moved to the shade to cool off.
I love the difference in her color/appearance when sunlit or not. 😍

This Transgender Awareness Week, we come together to celebrate the resilience and bravery of the transgender community in the face of relentless attacks.
My message to you is simple:
I am with you. I love you. I will never stop fighting for you.

For obvious reasons 😉, I don't take many selfies (let alone post them), but when Lilly's involved, anything goes!
So, behold, "Beauty and the Beast."

"Beyond being the 24th consecutive grant of emergency relief to the Trump administration, the cryptic ruling in Orr is a reminder of just how bankrupt the Court’s proffered justifications are in these cases—both legally and in other ways, too."

189. The Breezy Inequity of Trump v. Orr
The Supreme Court's latest grant of emergency relief to the Trump administration illustrates in technicolor the direct (and ugly) consequences of the two different ways it keeps messing up "equity."

i hope this election cycle empowers everyone the next time a centrist liberal says to drop pro-trans and pro-immigrant rhetoric to enthusiastically tell them to shut the fuck up

Treats were offered as penance for this "torture".

TBH, I'm pretty proud of this photo, since I had to hold my phone upside down behind my back!

Lilly soaking up some sun on the back deck.
Shortly after these were taken, she lay down in my shadow. I guess the sun can get too warm for a fluffy cat... or a bald human. 🙂 I had to move to the shade soon thereafter.

Very sunny and clear here in Petaluma today. Although I won't complain (or is it too late?), I think I like (rain) clouds better. 🙂
Here's an after-rain #Sunset from a week or two ago.

a trans girl in vermont was kicked off her swimming team and committed suicide and at the very same time, the discourse in d.c. today is about whether the democratic party should’ve abandoned her sooner in order to win votes
