I see you. I love you. And you better believe I will fight for you. Trans and non-binary rights are human rights. Full stop.

My husband is a trans man. He is also:
A talented artist
A Cancer survivor
A loving partner
And above all, just like anyone else. He is you and me. He's struggled and triumphed, in all the same challenges we all face. He deserves the right to live authentically.

So do you, and I will stand up for you just like I do him.

While I'm on my morning garden ramblings, project balcony jungle is well underway. The rains, have perked things up nicely and there's less heat wilting this morning. I have had comments from neighbours about wanting to know the types of flowers Im growing. I will convince my neighbours to grow more greenery somehow! Also, sorry for the clutter, my garden is not tidy and I dont have room to hide tools, bags, and containers "nicely"!๐Ÿ˜…

Welp, today's the day the tech comes to tell us how much money we're gonna have to pay to fix Rei's wheelchair. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Wish us luck. ๐Ÿ’ธ

Happy Birthday @SpaceSlothForever ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‚Congrats on reaching the top of "the hill"! ๐Ÿ˜‚

Spent all day doing garden things. Some things were exciting, other things, (looking at you certain seeds that have failed me every year for 5 years) were not. ๐Ÿ™ƒ

Looking at all these seeds, with only a few seeds in each one, gave me an idea. Rather than do the same thing over and over and fail. I just put them all into a little bag together, mixed with vermiculite. I'm just gonna throw them all into a planter together. They can sort themselves out. ๐Ÿคฃ

Welp. XCOM 2 runs beautifully on the new rig. Back down the rabbit hole I go. Spent too many hours already on it, but dammit, it's fun.

Tidying done, windows open to let the fresh evening air in. Watered the greenhouse plants. Feels good to be done the cleaning. Now I have the evening to myself.

It's beautiful and sunny here today, but the wind is absolutely FRIGID. My plans for balcony work are not happening today. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

So, I made a grilled chicken salad and some veggie spring rolls for dinner, and will spend the rest of the evening cleaning the house so I don't have as much of it to do next week when we have various techs and people here to fix things.

Excuse the bags and clutter. I'm trying to finish cleaning the balcony, but the high winds and constant dove visits make it hard. ๐Ÿ˜…

I knew we had three at least that were regulars. The nesting pair and an extra. Rei just let me know that there are 5 now. I looked out and sure enough there is a small flock out there! Two on the railing, one in the feeder tray, and two on the ground. (You can just see the tail of the 5th one by the curtain. I was wondering why I had to refill the seed so much! ๐Ÿ˜‚

Anyone know if Janet is in the process of resurfacing? I know she nukes and restarts her accounts now and again. Has anyone seen her pop up yet? She's one of my main follows here since I joined.

The babies fledged last week. The doves are still coming to the feeder, and may be looking to nest again. I'm so glad the nest was used again. Unfortunately I don't have great pics of the babies. Here's the last few I got of the evening of fledging. I'll see if I can get Rei to post his shots to his never used account later. ๐Ÿ˜…

Time for me to disconnect, soak in the tub, and find some muscle relaxants in the medicine cabinet. I did way more work than I planned to today after groceries, and my shoulder/neck are screaming at me.

Take care of each other CoSo. I'll check in tomorrow. ๐Ÿงก

It's overcast and rainy. I have to go out and do errands and groceries, but I honestly have no ambition at all today. Meh.๐Ÿ™ƒ

I finally got around to making this grave marker for our cat. It's a little wonky but I like it. It looks just like him. He is buried under his favorite peony bush which is just starting to sprout. I keep seeing him. It's weird.

Discovered a lot of great music thanks to the Pacific Drive soundtrack. This one is possibly my favourite, next to the game's opening song itself.

If there's one thing I love more than anything about Counter Social, it's the sense of humour, even when Google is being a massive jerk.

I love the malicious compliance, J. Do what they ask, and turn it up to 10.

Had to call the repair place today. Rei's wheelchair is busted. The rubber on the wheels has deteriorated over time, and with the lack of use over the covid lockdowns, it's just not been used.

Wish me luck that we don't need a new chair! ๐Ÿ™ƒ
