A neighbor planned a small neighborhood thing for those who could not make it to the larger STL event. I had a long week. I was tired. It was storming. As I got near the event I began to tear up. Not my first protest. But the number of people engaged amazed me. 2/3h

Car break-ins happen in cities. We live in a very queer part of our city. Today we awoke to find a brick had been thrown through our back window with no attempt to get into the car. I wonder why our car was targeted… I just don’t understand people.

I am going to scream this again - what we are Not. Going. To. Do. is throw marginalized communities, including trans communities, under the bus. Not only is it wrong, it is not a winning strategy.

I am getting used to the feeling of impending doom I have been experiencing since the election and working to find fun moments. Last night was a success watching the musical Spirited!!

This is the face of the boy who managed to shut both his brothers in the same crate while we were out of the house. Came prancing to the door so proud when we got home. Wish I had a video of that. You do you Ted.

Dog day three - our spunky baby, Oscar. He has more energy in his little 7lb body than my spouse and I have combined. And he is the best stress relief ever. How can you say no to those eyes?

New platform new habits. More dog pics. Teddy is an old rescue from a hoarding situation that came with a warning that he kills wildlife “including turtles” 😳. He has lost nearly all his teeth. I believe he will outlive me out of pure spite. And he is also the sweetest thing ever.
