It was never going to stop at "protecting girls' sports" or "defending women's bathrooms". And it won't stop here, either - what rights will be denied next?

This is why you don't give an inch to transphobes - they don't make a good point, there is nothing to consider. Shut them down early.
Screenshot reads "Breaking: the justice department is deliberating banning guns for transgenders as part of a range of options blocking mentally unstable individuals from committing acts of violence, @realDailyWire has learned. Story to come."

Two perfect roses from the garden and one perfect cat. Why, yes, Doyle is reclining on my stuffed sloth.

Spent a sunny afternoon planting my raised beds. Now ready to grill and enjoy some wine. The rest of the plants will be squeezed into the front yard tomorrow.
An untidy garden with raised beds, foxglove, and several plants that still need planting Volunteer foxglove with white and purple flowers, too pretty to pull out of the earth.

I love coming home to my garden in springtime. Most of the credit goes to @zeesm.bsky.social - I just wander through, pulling occasional weeds.

Io and Miska relaxing on a Saturday afternoon. #catsofbluesky
Two black and white kitties relaxing on a blue sofa. One cat is on her back with front legs stretched over her head, and the other is in a more classic loaf position.

I decided to be productive rather than doomscroll this morning. Now I can look forward to fig rosemary jam! #Canning

Makes me think of this story
The philosopher Diigenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king. Said Aristippus "If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to eat lentils" Diogenes replied "learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king."

The world may be falling apart, but today I got to spend some time gardening and enjoying the sunshine. I will take joy where I can find it.

One of these men is a leader and a hero. The other is wearing a suit.

Saw a pale double rainbow during a break in the rain. Nice way to end a Monday.

This is my Jack (also 2017, also lacking the brain cell). Behind him are Doyle and Io.
Three cats - a large orange boy, a gray and white boy peeking over the orange one, and a black cat sitting behind the other two.
