I"ve been working on creating a trans travel guide, initially focused on the USA. Today was a tough day, doing both UT and TX, but I ended today's work with VT, which is a pretty awesome state (linked below) which is trying to use government power to protect our rights.
Like it's illegal for the Proud Boys or whoever else to block us from entering a doctor's office for trans-related care.

To peel back the layers then, here we go:
Glover, a shirtless black man, is dressed from the waist down as a Confederate Civil War reenactor. Onscreen, what he reenacts are various recent racially motivated shootings, all while moving as if partially possessed by the ghost of T.D. Rice, creator of the minstrel show Jim Crow character, in turn based on the dancing of a physically handicapped stable hand.

Cruz is amazingly idiotic. Based on his educational background he should not be so stupid. Therefore, he must be selfishly catering to the ignorant masses. https://mastodon.social/@realTuckFrumper/110407590165889647
Deer deliver in the strangest of places! If you find a fawn in your yard, leave it alone, do not touch, move or feed it. They have no scent and predators cannot find them unless humans interfere. Mom leaves during the day for 2 primary reasons: to feed, and to keep her scent away. Mom will return, but not until dusk and not if humans are around. If you discover the gift of a fawn enjoy the experience, and let the Mom do what comes naturally. Please share, thank you. #wildlife
