This is a church my great great grandfather Patrick Murphy (1821?-1922) supposedly helped build. The cousin who told me this was an inveterate liar, so maybe not. It's still a beautiful place. I took the photo.

Today I was reminded that it is Transgender Awareness Week (Nov 13-19). Also, November 20 is Transgender Day of Remembrance.

"In other words, someone had traveled from #Alabama, where abortion is illegal after the June 2022 overturning of Roe v. Wade, to an #abortion clinic in #Florida, where abortion is limited but still available early in a pregnancy. "

Not saying it's only new folx, although I hope they take heed. Reminder: hashtags are your friend! Even more importantly, hashtags are the friend of others who don't want to see certain things. Not tagging on purpose and not an exhaustive list: politics, religion, foodporn (or pron), football, food-related like cooking (but really??).
The use of hashtags means that everyone can truly curate their own experience! #cosotips

anyone know any aggressively queer small businesses I can buy Pride stuff from? (Looking for a rainbow beanie, specifically)

Hoping it’s sooner than later.
