I'm in Seattle for the week for work, and Trevor sent me a picture of Nougat thoroughly enjoying life as a house cat. He's very much taken to having more space to have zooming in.

Happy June 1st and start of Pride Month 🌈🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵🤎🖤

Nougat appreciates the seat we put just for him under the front window 😉

Cookie is hanging out in the bethroom in style (on a plush like robe).

Not sure which weekend we're going yet, but we've been working on trinkets when not focused on actual work or moving.

High School Graduation day for one of my kiddos. Woohoo!

There's that joke about watching paint dry. Just wanted to mention it is equally applicable to watching wood floor stain dry 😆 But floors are almost done. Going to let them alone til tomorrow afternoon when we finish them. Then they'll get 5 days of cure time before moving day on Sunday.

We're out at Douglas County Pride in the Denver Metro today, if anyone is in the area come say hi!

And they're not told as if they're fighting the same evil.

The other day Cookie was yowling. Finally found her in a cabinet she must have shut herself in. Today I had a cabinet open while I grabbed something to put in it. Watched Blue sniff at it, then push it shut with his head. My apologies to Cookie. Seems likely the dog shut her in a cabinet.

Woohoo! ondiversity.com/2026-confere...

One of the very first things I moved into my new house and new home office. Even before I know where furniture will be to hang it up. Marsha P. Johnson is a trans hero.

Marsha deserves so much more than our selective fetishizations of her legacy. May she rest in peace and power. medium.com/prismnpen/ma...

They aren't banning it for "LGBTQ" history ties. They are banning it for its trans history, specifically. They are banning an instumental piece with no words because it was written in honor of Marsha P. Johnson.

Blue apparently prefers oversized armchairs to sofas.

As a teen at a grocery store I was asked to face some aisles. Manager explained that meant lining products up perfectly with each other. He came back an hour later amazed everything was perfectly lined up, even took pictures for corporate. My autism is still not sure what else he had expected.

Curious what she does the first time we actually store something there.

Not sure what they are looking at, but must be something going on.

I know we need the precipitation here in Colorado, but it's May ❄️🥶

I just almost threw out my back sneezing. I started to feel the seizing feeling in my back and luckily pushing against the wall (mid sneeze mind you) kept it from going out entirely. Getting old is so much fun 🙃

That bedroom is done, working on the front room now. Trevor is at work today, so I'm having our teens (18yrs and 15yrs) tag team (supervised) when I need a break. Mr. 15yrs is maybe too excited about using power tools 😆 But they'll know how to put in wood floors if they ever need to. Skills.

About 3/4th through putting wood down in the first bedroom. Woohoo Hoping to get the main floor done by the end of the weekend.

I was cutting out some of the glued edges of old carpet, so we can put down wood, and found a single piece of green carpet 😁

Cookie has found a perfect sitting spot.

Hogwarts isn't real, Trans people are 🩷🩵🤍🏳️‍🌈 #pride #trans #queer #hp #hogwarts #memes

Have you ever noticed that the massive, coordinated, multi-year assault on trans rights is based on NOTHING WHATSOEVER

It makes me sad when providers talk so derogatory about folks who need ESAs. I found out I needed an ESA while attending a masters in Missouri and couldn't have pets. I started having panic attacks daily. On a hunch my amazing partner drove overnight to get my cat, and the panic attacks stopped.

I can mess up a surprising number of words accidentally, but accommodation never looks right to me. Idk if it needs less Ms or less Cs, but something is off.

The house has more juniper than grass, which fair in Colorado. Yesterday we took a couple out to put in a dog run until we get the yard fully fenced. Trevor's allergic to juniper and I'm not! It's funny cause he's only other allergy is bees which I'm also not but I've scars from allergy testing 😅

About last night’s scrambling from gun fire at White House reporters dinner .. Rep Jamie Raskin (D-MD) makes a critical point on CNN: “This is happening in schools across the country.. the kids have no resources to process their trauma”

We are pulling up carpet and putting down wood this weekend. Essentially just camping out on air mattresses in the house. We brought Cookie and Blue along, and the constant look of wtf on Cookie's face keeps taking me out.

Woohoo!!!

As I connect the wifi at the new house, it makes me laugh. When our kitty who was our wifi password died we said we weren't doing that again, cause it made us sad every time we had to connect. So we changed the password to the color blue. Then a year later we adopted a doggy named Blue 😂

Tomorrow's the day we close on our (hopefully) forever home!

Now let's see hospital's return to providing care for trans youth! - Federal Judge Vacates Kennedy Declaration, Permanently Blocks Trump's Trans Youth Care Hospital Threats

Families left reeling after hospitals in blue states drop transgender care for youth www.npr.org/2026/04/... #transgender #trans #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA

What is this? We had basically no winter, and now it's snowing in mid to late April.

Just dropped off the cashier check for final closing costs. All we have to do now is the final walkthrough on Tuesday evening and sign closing paperwork on Wednesday. Almost there.

1 week to closing! We won't be moving in immediately, since we need to replace the carpet with wood and do a few other minor things. Plus the kids school isn't out til the end of May and right now they just walk to school. But exciting!!!

Every single person in our home is at varying stages of this stomach chest thing. I think the pets are confused about it but think we are communicating in coughs for fun for some reason.

This is embarrassing, NPR.

Woohoo!

Kiddo brought home some stomach bug chest cold combo and I've felt like poop the last few days. My husband has been trying to get me to do a nebulizer all day, and I haven't felt like I really needed to. I really need to remember that the "panic cause no oxygen" button in my brain is broken.

When we moved to Colorado, we moved to a 3 bedroom apartment with a walk in closet that I use as my office. Something my clients and students think is very funny that I'm queer and literally in a closet. I am really looking forward to that changing soon 😁

I'd really like to see leadership calling for impeachment and removal, regardless of whether they have the votes to get it done. Same way we called for marriage equality before we had the votes. A leader's job is to lead. If a genocidal threat isn't impeachable, then nothing is.

This week, I didn't know what Wednesday would look like. It feels a little surreal to be going about everyday life while all of everything else is also happening. If that's you too, you are not alone.

Truth. Blue just wants to know when it's cuddle time, food time, or walk time.

Queer people ARE sparkly and beautiful!

Queer people are the glitter of humanity. We are everywhere, and even if you want to get rid of us and try really, really hard to remove us, we are still going to keep showing up everywhere. A much better idea is to just embrace us, because we are sparkly and beautiful.

Not quite a clear to lose but very close! Woohoo!!!
