Patting myself on the back for making a bug repellent that smells heavenly.

I know I'm middle-aged because I get joy out of getting a new hose and hose attachment to water my garden at night in a heatwave. A suggested washing the dog with the hose outside and I just feel that's a bit barbaric since our pup despises being wet.

Today is the last beautiful weather day before the heatwave comes for us next week. I went roller skating with my friend at the park and although there were a lot of people out, only a couple people were using the space we were skating in. Then the grocery store, which is normally packed on the weekends, was empty. And I made tacos with fresh pico de gallo and grilled zucchini. Cute day even though I had to work this morning. I forgot all about that.

please consider writing to Prarieland defendants Autumn Hill and Meagan Morris, they are both trans lesbians incarcerated in men's prisons for protesting an ICE facility

prosecution established affiliation by way of defendants having fucking anarchist zines, the kind of shit you see in a punk house. this is what they want and are willing to pursue for all of us who aren't willing to lay down and die, imprisonment and torture and the absolute stripping of our dignity (the govt gleefully included their deadnames in a press release yesterday; Morris' public defender has consistently deadnamed and misgendered her despite her legal name change)

there is no one who will protect us except us, and if our sisters are lost to us and forgotten as soon as they are grabbed by the prison system (ie if the system is allowed to work as intended) then we are failing, and we are woefully unprepared for a world where they start taking more of us

Autumn Hill - Support the Prairieland Defendants

Autumn is a loving wife and is interested in religious history and mythology. Write to her at FMC Fort Worth.

Meagan Morris - Support the Prairieland Defendants

Meagan Elizabeth Morris is loved by her wife housemates, and dogs. Her name was legally changed in 2007, but the federal complaint used her

Makin' little bouqs is saving my mental health lately.

I love Chicago and all the people flying their gigantic Juneteenth, Afro-American, Puerto Rican, and Latin American flags out their cars. Summer is beautiful walking down the sidewalk in the shade of century old houses, booming music blasting out people's cars with the windows rolled down.

I've always been a hater, but I truly h8 sports.

Ground up the hojicha leaves I had and made it into a latte. I much prefer it iced latte style than steeped. Idk how to get it to a fine enough powder so it's not floating around in the drink, but it'll do for now.

Never really into worshiping celebrity or whatever, but Marjane Satrapi's passing is very sad. My friend recently wrote a graphic novel about how Chicago teens organized around Chicago Public Schools banning Persepolis. That graphic novel was so formative for me. What a big bummer.

All these flowers are from my backyard, can you believe that?

Not everything is awful but my brain keeps telling me that.

fantasizing about getting my master gardener's certification and working at a botanic garden or conservatory. i just saw my dream job open at the conservatory near me and i'm not qualified at all but the thought of working with plants and very few humans sounds perfect.

Going to my childhood home today to sort out all the keepsakes before it gets demolished. My brain is not allowing me to process this at all.
