I will say this for the other little eggs out there. If someone comes out to you and tells you that they're not the gender that they present to as, don't be afraid of them. They feel safe with you to open up and hatch, support them. They trust you to talk about it. They trust you to listen and accept them. It's not the porn, it's not a social contagion, It's a self-realization. And all we seek is safety and assurance that we're making the right decision for ourselves. #transgender

@BenA feels like TrumpIrritationitis as I read this

@Faay I was surprised to see it once early this year, and prior to that it had been several years.. they must be doing better things in the background to help us out. It used to be a weekly and - urp - sometimes even daily occurrence.
@GasMaNZ Brings the great #VeraRubin to mind. I doubt if she ever got an F in her life, and IDK if she ever actually stared into space (I'm guessing that's a yes) or got any medals, but wow what a brilliant woman.
@Tacitus_Kilgore brilliant
exactly what we need to do. thank you!
Unsurprisingly, the council has been forced to back down from its discriminatory book ban. They voted 12-2 to rescind it.
Apart from an outcry nationwide, a bunch of "rowdy" protestors turned up to ensure the councillors knew what they had to do.
People power works!
Of course, some bigots had to turn up, and, equally unsurprisingly, they were "older local men who opposed reversing the ban." It's a religious part of town - both Christian and Muslim.
@rpardee block that sucker
@CanisVeritum Oh, thank you TD! akk! I'm not in favor of ANYONE being shot, not ever pootie pie, or any of his stooges. Still, he continues to send the message that he will never ever be trustworthy. I'll be so glad when poots - for whatever reason - is pushing up daisies.
@kel Yikes, I don't see it as sordid at all... 💖😏😏🥰
@Kalila Congrats on the babies~ I adore bluebirds and have never actually seen them in person.
Sad about that. Will, someday!
@kel thank goodness it is only Wednesday and I was worried I'd missed a Thursday appointment.. Since retiring I have less ways to keep up with what day of the week it is. Is that only me?
@amarand @Valkyrie_D yep! the queens fill the tubes over their season, and since I'm adding more I'll remove the sealed and filled tubes as you can see in the earlier photo that I posted.
@CanisVeritum Oh dear! Are we having one of THOSE? (yikes) who being the arch duke in this situation?
@amarand @Valkyrie_D Amarand, They'll answer any questions you have. You can get started early for next spring!
✨💖🐝 Let me know how it goes - they are fun also to just sit and watch!
@amarand @Valkyrie_D YES! Amarand! They like morning sun (secure) placement they don't like to sway in the wind.. and I've made sure mine get some protection from the heaviest winds and rains, Keep your mud located somewhat nearby like within ten feet and voila!
