Romeowl & Whooliet: Shakespeare's tragedy, but they're owls. They're not from rival families, don't fall in love, don't even meet. They hang out separately in trees, hooting ominously and pouncing on scurrying things. They don't die in each other's wings. They live and do cool owl stuff. The end.

Meet Romeowl & Whooliet, mascots for The New Bardiverse.
Romeowl: Why?
Whooliet: Because we're "bard" owls!
Romeowl: OK, so what is The New Bardiverse?
Whooliet: Everything Shakespeare-inspired. For example, "It's a love story, baby..."
Romeowl: "Just sayyyyyy yes!"

An ad said "Go ad-free" which I read as "goad-free" and I'm like, sign me up, I hate being goaded.
Also I think there should be a donut store called "Donut Reply." Because of course there should.

Great turnout at C-U for the rally. Some awesome signs, including "Hoo nees ejukashun?" and "Take an econ class before taking office!" with drawings of penguins. (Yep, this is a college town.)

If you can make it to one of the April 5 protests, you should definitely go. If you can't, no worries -- I got you covered. I used to be a high school teacher and a cross-country coach; I can YELL. :)

Proud of my community. Pretty good turnout for a Trans Day of Visibility rally on a cold Monday. Glad I could support family and friends. Parker says, "Sunshine, yes. Oligarchy, no."

This book, by the way, is amazing -- published in 1962 but better than many post-apocalyptic novels I've read recently. #books
