Transgender Day of Remembrance: Honoring Lives Lost

November 20th marks Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR), a day to honor transgender individuals lost to violence. Created in 1999 by advocate Gwendolyn Ann Smith, it began as a tribute to Rita Hester, a transgender woman murdered in 1998. Rita’s death highlighted the violence and systemic discrimination faced by the transgender community, as well as the frequent misgendering of victims.

On November 20, 1969, a pivotal event in Native American history unfolded: the occupation of Alcatraz Island by a group known as Indians of All Tribes (IAT). This act of civil disobedience marked a significant moment in the Red Power movement, a campaign advocating for Native American rights and sovereignty.

I'm feeling good this morning.

Why no, I haven't been eating any gummies. Why do you ask?

My neighbor said he slipped on my gravel, but it was his own dumb asphalt.😂

It isn't too late for us to fill this thing for J in honor of our seventh year online.

If you haven't already, consider chipping in however you can. 💚

What's happening with these clouds? While it may seem that these long and thin clouds are pointing toward the top of a hill, and that maybe a world-famous observatory is located there, only part of that is true. In terms of clouds, the formation is a chance superposition of impressively periodic undulating air currents in Earth's lower atmosphere.
