Extra-timely important reminder

"Trans people will always exist." Cool. "They can't kill us all." Comforting. Yeah, transness will survive, but *I* want to survive, too, y'know? But also, survival and existence aren't enough for me anymore, and they shouldn't be enough for allies either. I want to see my trans friends thrive.

So super super important question/ call to action for your all- Have you supported @dublin2029.bsky.social yet? Presupports are how bids become cons. Assuming it will just happen doesn't make it happen. If you haven't then I will make a deal with you... dublin2029.ie?fbclid=IwY2x...

Mostly decent day yesterday (with a couple crap spots) but pretty early night in prep for very early morning meant forgetting to hit post 😆 Whoops? #xaps2026 #TinyJoy #happymaking #naturesbeauty

Anti-Prime Day starts…NOW! 🥳 Today through 6/26, enjoy free standard shipping site-wide, all while supporting local, independent bookstores.

Felt like lots of running catch-up today, but also a lovely chat with family, and more things checked off the to-do list. Plus the #TinyJoy of #dailydeer & TastyTreats 😊 #xaps2026 #naturesbeauty

Important threads & comments for my European folk, who do NOT have the infrastructure to deal with this 😔 Stay safe all 🫂

Had a pretty productive day - several chores done, more catch-up and organization, errands run, plus happy wishes to my dad (FD) and my youngest (bd). And lovely weather and tasty dinner adding more #TinyJoy along the way 😊 #xaps2026

Tuesday was mostly laundry, catch-up, and prep for Wed dinner. Plus a lovely chat with my oldest 😊💙 Wednesday was more computer things, conversations, a gorgeous soaring hawk, and many bramble blooms. #xaps2026 #TinyJoy #xapCooks #naturesbeauty

Monday started the week with a beautiful sunset :) #xaps2026 #naturesbeauty #TinyJoy #happymaking#TinyJoy#RightOutsideTheDoor

Another catchup run; last Thursday was a busy day in the house followed by dinner out with everyone, then volunteered at the local Pride Classic hockey tournament over the weekend :) #xaps2026 #TinyJoy #happymaking#TinyJoy#xaps2026#SPC2026 #xapHelps

🧵 … Hey all … I’m in search of story sources who’d want to interview for an upcoming feature about trans folks who’ve moved from red states to blue ones, especially since the last presidential election. Signal boosts appreciated.

I have been working on societal impacts of language technology since late 2016, and my nightmare example since pretty early on has been using automatic transcription in emergency services systems. And today I learn it's happening *in my own city* www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news... Short 🧵>>

Important thread!

Third day in a row of #DailyDeer visits; these 6(!) showed up at various diff times for different lengths of stay. Knee was cranky after (& during) errands, but was fed tasty dinner while resting, watched last Hugo nom (KPDH), and enjoyed beautiful skies […] [Original post on pixelfed.social]

Playing catch-up again, lots of distractions lately. But also bit of #TinyJoy in seeing one of #MyNeighbors while running errands Monday, & in visits from two more #RightOutsideTheDoor (literally!) yesterday. #xaps2026 #naturelove#myneighbors#TinyJoy#RightOutsideTheDoor#xapCrafts

Hey! As many of you know I'm going to be starting a PhD in History at Brown this fall. I'm incredibly excited, but the hard part is going to be getting there. My partner and I are fundraising to make the move from MN to RI possible, and would be incredibly grateful for your help.

My day job is at a rural branch of a public library, and we have a Pride display. Yesterday I was at the desk when a man came in. Fifties, maybe, or sixties. Plaid shirt, mesh trucker cap, suspenders. He went up to the display and just stood there for a long moment. Then he came up to the desk. 🧵 1/

Lots of planning and sorting today, though no pic until mostly cleaned up 😆 Also helping others with their projects, and beautiful hawks reminding us to look for the #TinyJoy even (especially?) when stressed #xaps2026 #xapCrafts

Farmers markets in the morning, hockey chats & reading in the afternoon, and cooking, tasty dinner, & BSG in the evening.....#happymaking day with dear ones & many #TinyJoy moments. Happy Saturday all 😊 #xaps2026 #xapCooks

Someone was being Very Cute in 'her' sunbeam this evening #xaps2026 #TinyJoy #catsofpixelfed

My view for most of the day.....lots needed doing, and walking hurt from lunch on. Did have one moment of #TinyJoy too, even if not captured by camera 😊 And productivity helpful #xaps2026

Finalized hobbyexperiment/birthday gift today (beading finished last night). It's now packed and mailed off in good time. Also worked on the ever-present to-do list of course, and enjoyed bright moments. #xaps2026 #TinyJoy #xapCrafts

If you have a fire extinguisher with a plastic handle, check to make sure it's not part of this 2018 recall.

For the past several years, our community of musicians has been producing a free album of original music to fundraise--but with a twist! We "swap" and cover each others' songs. This year, you can get 31 tracks of new music totally free on Thursday, June 4th. Donations benefit music in schools!

Laundry and reports and meetings oh my? And aaaaaalmost finished projects, plus #TinyJoy from a visit. Happy Tuesday? #xaps2026 #RightOutsideTheDoor #MyNeighbors #naturelove

New recipe made for dinner, plus crafting & TV progress (& paperwork) process. Not a bad start to the week? #xaps2026 #TinyJoy#xaps2026#xapsCooks

Every year for Pride, I repost Hue. I made him to send love and comfort to those who feel Pride isn’t for them because they aren’t out. You matter, you are valid, and it’s ok if you aren’t ready yet. Coming out is not a requirement for being part of this community. Happy Pride 🌈

Farmers market yesterday (& trip plan work + crafting), other errands today (& crafting + more BSG). And 16 years ago I brought home a little ball of fur. Not so tiny any more, but still a brat 😉 And a reminder we need to find and enjoy the happy moments […] [Original post on pixelfed.social]

Lots of chat-time with my youngest today, some con-work, and made a tasty dinner. And took a moment to enjoy growing things 😊 #xaps2026 #TinyJoy #naturesbeauty

county10.com/reservation-... My sister, (Dr. Rich in the article) is a badass. She's working on a project helping indigenous teachers to use computers and technology to teach their languages and cultures. I'm so proud of the work she does!

Spent most of yesterday on the computer updating some resources. Also dinner at local place with the household, bouncing baby bunnies, and more Battlestar Galactica #xaps2026 #TinyJoy

Lots of happy critters yesterday (some of our #happymaking included yahtzee, Cpt America, and reading-time) #xaps2026 #TinyJoy #MyNeighbors #NatureLove #catsofpixelfed#naturelove#happymaking#myneighbors#TinyJoy#RightOutsideTheDoor

Yesterday was pretty full! Spent a few hours at the local weekend RenFaire, read two novellas, watched Frankenstein (Hugo movie 4), and celebrated Cathy's birthday 🎉 #xaps2026 #TinyJoy #happymaking

Made several tasties today, including birthday cake for a dear one 😊 And while much of the day didn't go as intended for anyone, it did end on a pretty note 😊 #xaps2026 #TinyJoy #happymaking #naturesbeauty#happymaking#TinyJoy#RightOutsideTheDoor#xaps2026#xapsBakes

Very pretty day today, and semi-productive too. And the bumbles were quite happy 😊 #xaps2026 #TinyJoy #RightOutsideTheDoor #naturesbeauty
