If you’re on the fence about getting knee injections, do it. I had an especially difficult time getting them (passed out- twice, needed a cane for a couple days, extremely uncomfortable all around) and a week out, it is already worth it. I’m getting out of chairs more easily than I have in years!

Cis people do not understand how much trans people's rights have regressed in just 5 years. 5 years ago, there were none of these restrictions. 19 states banned legal recognition 21 states have bathroom bans 8 states ban gender marker changes on DLs 25 ban gender affirming care for trans youth

When you have an abundance of very ripe tomatoes but no energy to deal with them on account of being sick, the dehydrator is your friend. All you gotta do is slice them up, spread them out, and plug it in.
Before: slices of juicy yellow orange tomato on stacked dehydrator traysAfter: dried out slices of red and orange tomatoes on paper towels, ready to be used in place of sun dried tomatoes (planning to store dry instead of pack in oil because botulism)

Exciting garden developments this week include a bevy of cukes that should be pickable within the week, a little baby cantaloupe, three artichokes, and an unplanned peanut. Thanks, squirrels!
Four mid sized cucumbers (not the only four, maybe not even the biggest four)Tiny baby cantaloupe about the size and shape of a large olive, green and fuzzy because they don’t get brown and crispy until they’re biggerOne big artichoke atop a stalk and little buds of two others farther down, I’m a bit worried it’s not getting enough sun because the tomatoes are taking over everythingSmallish peanut plant that’s just leaves at this point and might not actually do anything because it’s in shade all the time.
