Some highlights from today's prairie walk. It's finally cool enough out! I missed some of the big blooms in September due to the heat, but maybe it'll be better next year.

My apartment was huge but full of broken furniture. Three doors led outside but none could lock. The back door opened onto a loading dock and dusty racks of Utz potato chips. Some teenagers broke in to tag the place with graffiti, and I had to call the police. #dream

A cis friend sent me a meme last night as he found it funny but was worried whether it might be a bit transphobic and this is by far the most niche meme I have laughed at this week.

(I don't think it's transphobic but am not the ultimate authority! Honestly think it's probably from in-community)
