Also, I’ve Been Seeing More FedEx/UPS Shipments Where The Final Leg Is Actually Done By USPS.  Apparently,

Two of my sweeties and I braved the heat at a Families Belong Together demonstration today.  The speakers were good, and it was heartening to see so many people coming together to protest the cruel treatment of children.

I found this at Goodwill.  It’s a little gaudier than I usually like, but I couldn’t resist.  Now that I have it set up, I love it!  (It’s rather difficult to take a picture of a lamp in place.  I mean, it’s there because I want light there, but turning on the lamp itself put in way too much glare.)

Minority Monsters is now available as a PDF for pay-what-you-want.  In addition to the great comics, there is information about each monster’s identity and the myths about it.  It’s pretty, funny, and informative!

As promised, the minority monster pdf book is now available for FREE on Itch.io

Pay whatever you want folks, and please share this about so people who can’t afford a physical copy can still get a big ol’ book of LGBTQIA* creatures. 

Last week, my boss gave me a folder with what she said was my quarterly evaluation.  This was inside.  Best Boss Ever!

Yeah, that looks like my year, too.

Please vote! Even if it feels like you are only voting against the worse candidate or voting for the Less Bad candidate -- we need those votes to make sure we don't get the worse candidate.

Also, vote in all of your local elections if you can. Those are the people who decide whether books get banned in your community's schools and libraries. They decide whether your local police department gets training on de-escalation procedures or bigger guns. They are behind your community's social safety nets (or lack thereof), what types of community events are held, what's in your local parks, and much more.

Voting for Democrats is the "leaving the house, getting some exercise, and drinking more water is good for your mental health" of societal change. Everyone keeps telling you to do it, worst of all your mom keeps telling you to do it, and it's not a magical cure-all, but it actually works and rotting in your room shitposting does not help in either scenario.

Please add your signature to support Sen. Duckworth and all women who should not have to choose between their families and their careers.

“She will also be the first senator that U.S. Senate rules will punish for giving birth. If she takes any maternity leave, she will be barred from voting or sponsoring any legislation. And even if she doesn’t take leave, she’ll likely be forced to miss voting times because her nursing infant will be barred from the Senate floor. Really.“

Fortunately, most of the people I know well enough to go to their parties have very accommodating pets.
