Look at the lovely sunflowers my partner met me with at the airport yesterday. I thought it was funny, because I met him without Huckleberry chocolate from Seatttle. Between the two of us, we covered the flowers and the chocolate 😁

The last of this season's planting plugs came today, all native plants (Woods Rose, Rabbitbrush, Saltbrush, Sumac, etc). I repotted them temporarily and watered them. My husband will plant them this weekend. I'll be in Seattle for Antioch's fall Sex Therapy residency weekend 🙂

Got the results from the external evaluation after last year having to hire an attorney because the school kept failing to give my kiddo his 504 and then EIP accomodations, and then failed to give access over summer to make up a class he failed because he didn't have access to his accomodations.

That moment when your cat has been weirdly cuddly the last few days, then you wake up vomiting and now have to wonder if it was just because she knew you are sick or because she knew you are dying. And it kind of feels like the latter 🙃

I put together some Halloween themed milkweed seed packets for trick or treaters this year. We'll have candy and other non food stuff too, but thought this would be fun also.

A variety of Halloween themed seed packets are strewn across a table. Labels say Milkweed Seeds, Do Not Eat, and 15 Common, Showy, Pink Swamp, White Swamp, and Butterfly. The backs say Plant these seeds now and you can grow monster-sized monarch caterpillars that will turn into monarch butterflies.

Corporations spend more than $1.5 billion a year on union-busting. That’s $1.5 billion they could have spent on higher wages, better benefits, and improving workplace safety. Remember: if they weren’t so scared of worker power, they wouldn’t fight so hard against unions.

"Y'all were the same ones saying we shouldn't have been invested in, saying we're a joke, the same ones that don't respect Black women. So, if you're going to protect women, that means all women.

What I've learnt is the Police will allow all manner of verbal abuse against trans people and claim it's free-speech. A trans person is not afforded that priveledge and will have everything they say and do held to a much higher standard. This is two-tier justice. It is not justice at all.

Just saw a video where a dude said, "women are starting to beat men in certain sports and we aren't sure why" I imagine it's cause we increasingly have a more representative sample of women in those sports. One of the cool things about feminism that is it lets more women do more cool things.
