Both Mimi and I approve of the new Hori Hori knife, I can’t believe how much grass I cleared out of a bed today and how easy it was! Mad I took this long to get one 💖 🪴

Shoutout to that obviously neurodivergent baker way back in the day who figured out squishing the butter cubes in a pie crust with your fingers makes it way more flakey

I had enough Nintendo platinum points to get this ADORABLE PIKMIN kitchen towel I love it so much (as a kitchen towel too it’s excellent, super absorbent)

Hoopla, Overdrive/Libby Now Banned for Those Under 18 in Mississippi

Public libraries in Mississippi have cut off access to digital platforms like Overdrive and Hoopla to those under 18.

I never want to hear conservatives go on about repressive censorship in China, North Korea, and Iran ever again

To be clear to those unfamiliar: these are the companies that libraries use to lend ebooks.

They are literally cutting off library access to minors.

This is sadly too perfect of an example of how performative allyship can be super harmful and useless. On March 31st Mendocino County Public Health posted a Trans Day of Visibility post. This was a Friday. (This matters because there is no way to contact anyone until Monday) Whoever posted it just did it and dipped. There is no moderation at all in this post and it’s become a bunch of hateful and ignorant folks spewing misinformation and disgusting stuff. How did this post help or support any trans people? For about two seconds I felt seen and then saw the comments and that all was quickly washed away. I’m non binary and all it did was make me feel like shit that it was posted and then not backed up by any actions to keep me safe (ie moderating) and no effort to curb misinformation (people talking about it being a mental illness and grooming) I’m going to be contacting them on Monday with my complaints and I highly urge anyone else to please do the same. There is a level of responsibility that comes with talking about this kind of stuff and this was so beyond inappropriate.

Mine is a bit older with different photos of them but wow it’s so bizarre seeing such backlash against drag in some places and then here I’m able to get my debit card with local drag queens on it. Makes me feel very grateful to be living here where I do rn (both of my direct neighbors have vocally been saying trans rights too) and definitely recognize my privilege (Community First Credit Union rules just in general) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqcFhaiLELe/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
