Last harvest for the year from the back garden (we've had two nights of frost in a row).

Tomatoes, two wee courgettes, tomatillos and kale

Also, I think I've figured out why my tomatoes didn't do so well.

Look at these marigolds and nasturtium and calendula

My poor courgette plant met frost

Leaving this site tonight 💤 with this pretty planter with fading calibrachoa and begonias.

A patterned planter with black and white snaky squiggles and a red and teal background with a black outside frame sits on a concrete sidewalk. The planter has pink calibrachoa and red begonias whose leaves are fading to brown.

The Ladies of Llangollen, Eleanor Butler (1739–1829) and Sarah Ponsonby (1755–1831), were two upper-class Irish women who lived together as a couple.
The pair moved to a Gothic house in Llangollen, North Wales, in 1780 after leaving Ireland to escape the social pressures of conventional marriages.

The Rt. Honble. Lady Eleanor Butler & Miss Ponsonby 'The Ladies of Llangollen' Illustration by James Henry Lynch
The two women are depicted in formal black dresses, wearing top hats, and walking together with a small dog by their side. They are set against a natural landscape backdrop with rocky terrain and possibly a distant view of an abbey or ruins.

This is a black-and-white lithograph or engraving showing the Ladies of Llangollen, Lady Eleanor Butler and Sarah Ponsonby, wearing masculine outfits and seated together in an ornate room. A sleepy cat is also sitting at the table. They are surrounded by various objects and books, indicating a scholarly or intellectual setting. The room's interior is richly detailed, emphasizing their domestic life.

This is a watercolor painting that depicts the Ladies of Llangollen walking together. Both women are wearing dark cloaks with short, white wild hairstyles, giving them a cool androgynous appearance. They are shown on a pathway, emphasizing their close companionship as they walk side by side.

Sure glad I didn’t go and get that X passport, but also this is fucked.

What about intersex people?

Lish Boo @lishy.bsky.social · 1d

The Nation’s Broadcaster (CBC) did a documentary about a Black drag queen.

It’s SO NICE to see so many Black queer Canadian people all in one place
