I wonder if he knows how well he bends into the chair, or if he just likes that chair right now.

We have never granted a marginalized population "too many rights". Not a thing that has ever happened. You are speaking nonsense.

Got done with work at 8 PM, but wanted to go look at what clearanced waterwise/drought resistant perennials a nearby store had. Bought a bunch, then told my partner (who works at 4 AM) I'd probably plant them tomorrow, so he could go to bed and not feel bad. Spoiler, I did not wait to plant them.

Two types of cats cat napping, same day bed.

Frederick Douglass, 1857: Those who profess to favor freedom yet deprecate agitation want crops without plowing the ground; they want rain without thunder + lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its waters. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.

transgender women are physiologically distinct from cisgender men. a bunch of clown men trying to draft in the wnba doesn't actually say anything about trans inclusion in sports. it just further highlights the ignorance and science denialism at the root of transphobia.

I have PCOS (or what it's called now). I bled nearly every day while being in intense pain for MONTHS as a 10-YEAR-OLD child before a doctor finally started me on hormonal birth control. This statement should not alienate anyone, it's messed up that it does.

I'm going to alienate some people now. Abortion is a critical part of gynecological care. Full stop. Hormonal birth control is used by many individuals simply to regulate difficult menstrual cycles. Legislators who don't understand the minutiae of reproductive biology should SHUT THE FUCK UP.

Dream last night, I was a space traveler. I was on a planet where all the women and a good chunk of men were missing. Turned out the women of the species were a hivemind, and they decided to move civilization underground for a while and just like left the most problematic men out of the plans 😂

Went to the Colorado Railroad Museum and got to ride the train!

My partner and I both got this week mostly off, so have been seeing local sites. We went to see the Denver Downtown Aquarium earlier this week, was pretty neat!

Did end up doing a scalloped edge. Came out matching my office daybed really nice.

This is working up so nicely. I still havent devided in the border, but I have a few more skeins of the body before that. I'm thinking about doing a scalloped crochet border, maybe in a darker teal.

Hung out around Arapahoe National Forest and Blue Sky Mountain today.

Look at these gorgeous cards my family got me for Parents Day. Happy Parents Day!

I've been watching some discussions on why millennial feel a greater need to keep surfaces cleared off. I think the discussion are all missing a key point that many of us have cats who will clear those surfaces off if we don't. 😹

Nougat is very interested in something outside.

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.

It's Monday and Cookie and I have feelings about that.

I should make a photo book of Nougat sleeping

Just submitted the initial chapter revision draft at 15,382 words. We'll see how the editors feel about it 😅

I'm working on a research textbook chapter that was previously just shy of 22K words. Editors want it down to 15k works, including references (which started at 3.5k words), and updated to include diverse research. Which cool, but I'm sitting at 16.8k words with 2.8k of that in the references. 🙃

My kiddo's 2008 PT Cruiser has pretty severe electric issues now meaning headlights aren't working at all. Fixing is cost and/or time prohibitive for us. So we bought a 2016 Dodge Journey and listed the PT Cruiser for $500 on marketplace, being brutally honest about what is wrong.

Nougat continues to wonder why his doggy friend isn't sleeping with him.

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.

I don't know what was going on here, but I have my suspicions. Charlie looks annoyed, and Nougat looks too innocent.
