The state of Utah voted to ban pride flags so Salt Lake City Council decided to make official city flags that incorporate the progress pride, Juneteenth, and transgender flags so they can fly them without breaking state law
If approved, SLC would have 4 flag designs. It's current, as well as one tied to Progress Pride, Juneteenth and Transgender designs as seen here #utpol:

When Congressman John Lewis was a child, he tried to get a library card. He was turned away & told “The Library is not for coloureds” 💔

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.
Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.
But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.
They aren’t firing for a reason.

From my time in the garden today: loquat flowers in the sunshine, stonecrop coming back lush and green after winter withering, and the sasanqua camellia (the red-pink is so hard to get a good photo of!).

I do about 10 minutes of yoga every morning with Sarah Beth yoga. I did yoga daily over 25 years ago, using a very weathered paperback copy of 28 Days of Yoga by Richard Hittleman (bought at the Salvation Army) and then slacked off. Turns out it’s the 10 minutes that’s key to my daily practice.
