Just caught a photo of a sunning local garden spider. They are breathtaking. She did not mind me getting up close. Spiders are one of my favourite organisms. They come a close 2nd to my love of cats. 🐈

$A breathtaking closeup of a local garden spider on her web. Her body is about 1.5cm in width and about 2cm in length. Covering her body is a beautiful mirrored pattern as like a snakes or fractals. All various hues of brown. Legs are not too long, but covered in little spikes. Thank goodness she did not pounce on me. I would have screamed. (Blush)$

This is interesting. The current fascist U.S. president cannot tolerate appointees who act in ways that threaten/undermine his wealth or power. I wonder what his response will be. ⚖️

Oh? I let my wishful thinking take the helm. Our local #cbc news shared a glimpse of #ErikaFrantzve telling the world what she intends to do. It looks as if Erika will not distance herself from hate groups. She'll be focusing on preaching the ideologies of hate that #CharlieKirk was a proponent of.

Much love to #ErikaFrantzve and her children. May they find the the space to heal. And, may Erika find the strength, courage, and an empowering humanitarian/social justice community to help in breaking free from the hate groups that #CharlieKirk was a member and enabler of. 🌹

#ErikaFrantzve and her children lost #CharlieKirk twice in their lives. Erika, her children, and the #RepublicanParty first lost Charlie to the poisonous ideologies of #whitesupremacy and to the ideologies of other equally as harmful hate groups. Now, they've lost him again, this time to a shooter.

It is disheartening that our Gazette appeared to have catered to the MAGA crowd than to Canadians who value the truth and who are passionate about stoping the spread of hate. Not surprising, yet troubling.

While reading our local/national news, it was troubling to see the lack of identifying who Charlie was. The identities white supremacist, neo-Nazi, misogynist, & transphobic, were not a part of the dialogue. May his wife & children find the strength & humanity to leave Charlie’s hate-filled circles.

During the upcoming #midtermelections, I hope #Republicans and #Democrats can set aside some of their differences to work together in restoring the humanity lost under this regime’s pursuit of power and wealth. Oh, a wishful thinker am I. 🌸

Rep. Garamendi: "I think any member of Congress & the Senate that has any knowledge of history of the 1900s, particularly 1930s & 1940s would look at America, at what #ICE is doing, at the use of the #NationalGuard and go 'Uh-oh! This looks a whole lot like Germany in the late 30s & into the 40s."

I don’t know where to begin. News blurbs/creator posts keep piling on labels for the shooter, but nothing adds up. Sending love to the survivors, and to the families and friends who lost loved ones. #AnnunciationCatholicChurch #Minneapolis

I wish that we could help those of faith, those of faith who may have replaced some of their aspects/concepts of love with that of hating Queers of all ilk, to find it in themselves to love and to cultivate solidarity with #2SLGBTQQIA+ children, adults, and elders wherever they may be. 2/2 🌸

the deeliciousplum 🌺📚 @deeliciousplum.com · Aug 25

While exploring posts with #QueersForPalestine, I'm under the impression that there's a lot of conflating the harmful elements of religious beliefs with communities which are cultivating love & solidarity. Rather than attack Palestinian Queers for their courage and passions, 1/2

Let's not conflate Queer Palestinians with the harmful side of beliefs. I don't know what may help move a religious person, a religious person who's under the impression that their higher power wishes only harm to 2SLGBTQQIA+ children, adults, & elders who are of the same faith, towards loving all.

While reading of a #QueersForPalestine protest which stopped Ottawa's #CapitalPrideParade, I was saddened. The parade is in celebration of Canada's diversity. With that said, I'm wholeheartedly with #2SLGBTQQIA+ children, adults, and elders who call #Gaza home.
Happy Pride to all. 🌸🏳️‍🌈

Sigh. If #bluesky implements #ageverification , it'll be another social media site that I'll be deleting. I'm a passionate supporter of keeping children safe from predators. Age verification is not a tool that does that. It is too big a brush stroke. AV is a divisive Republican/Conservative tool. 😢

This is troubling. Same-sex couples will have to expend so much time and resources to be able to hold onto the rights that they so deserve. Neither Kim nor anyone else ought to have the power to remove those hard fought for rights. 🏳️‍🌈🌸

the deeliciousplum 🌺📚 @deeliciousplum.com · Aug 13

📰 Someone may have forgotten to inform #KimDavis that many, if not the majority, of #Christian denominations are inclusive of #2slgbtqia+ communities. In my view, Kim’s decision to pursue the overturning of #same-sexmarriage appears to be rooted more in hate than in genuine religious conviction.
