We’ve been calling this security cam regular a fox for a year… until last night it jumped and we got a better look. Taller. Built different. Not the same as our front yard fox. So now we’re asking… what is it?

Ahead of Pride Month marketing monstrosity: Pride isn’t a brand moment. If you’re not LGBTQ-owned or donating all profits to orgs like GLAAD, Trevor Project, or Lambda Legal, I’m not buying.
Rainbow capitalism won’t get my cash.
No LGBTQ Ownership? No LGBTQ Donation of All Profits from the sale of the pride merch? No queer or ally dollars. Pride is protest, not a promo.

“nothing lasted forever—no bliss, but no sadness either. Happiness followed pain and pain followed happiness, and all you could do was hang on and feel every bit of it for as long as this world would let you.” — One-Star Romance by Laura Hankin https://a.co/gRa2dEc

““I mean… there have been moments when I’ve read something in a book that feels like it was written just for me. Like the author reached inside my brain, took all the thoughts I didn’t know how to express, and put them into a perfect paragraph. And in those moments, I’ve felt so utterly connected to a person I didn’t know that it made me think, ‘Yes, the world can be hard, and people can be awful to each other. But there is also such beauty in the fact that we can recognize each other like that.’ ” She fiddled with her straw. “I want to be able to give that feeling to other people.”” — One-Star Romance by Laura Hankin https://a.co/6sahIAo
