#Baltimore! An adorable mom/kitten duo is looking for a home for the holidays: Pinky (mom, 18 mos.) & Piglet (kitten, 7 mos.) were dumped in an alley in SW Baltimore, along with two other kittens (already adopted). They are super bonded & love to cuddle. Only thing better than 1 cat is 2 cats! 😍

Trans women are women.
Trans men are men.
Non-binary people are non-binary.
We still don’t have equal marriage because disabled couples are still penalised.
Black Lives Matter.
Immigrants help make this nation great.
There is no such thing as “an illegal” human being.
Housing is a human right.

The holidays are an abysmal time for people with abusive families or a history thereof. Please be understanding if someone turns down your invitation to celebrate. They aren't being a Grinch, they're just protecting themselves.

#SellingUsedBooks

Processed buyback vendors / wholesale books today

The equivalent of 6 banker boxes of books out of my house

8 vendors, 9 boxes

Sore back, sore hip, headache

But I'm so happy it's done - I do this quarterly now; I used to do this at least twice monthly

Can one airfry latkes in a toaster oven instead of fry them on a stovetop

I basically never use my stovetop or my oven anymore

Local grocers used to carry latkes this time of year, but not anymore

There are a lot of food dishes I miss

Just one of many things Long Covid took from me

Screw the Salvation Army. This year I'm helping people they would turn away. If you can spare a bit, here is an opportunity to help a couple of housing insecure trans folk.
I have started an urgent gfm for my partner and friend Charisma and Robin. Please consider supporting them as they face financial hardship and housing insecurity! gofund.me/21cc825a8

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families.

The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

Are there any accessible "alt text this photo" apps that do not employ immoral tactics like chat/ai bots?

This lovely boy kept mom company for the entire 25 hours I was gone. Apparently hung out on her bed with her and only left her room to eat food & use his litter box.

We have cared for him indoors for over a year now, but we are still getting to know his quirks, & some of his behavior is changing.

Requesting everyone who reads this to say something nice to someone else on social media today

Doesn't have to be a big deal

Just a little kindness that the world really needs right now

Thanks for everything, GOP

(and I'm one of the lucky ones who will still have insurance )
My 2026 health insurance:

$50 more per month for a plan 1 tier lower than my 2025 plan

$112 less per month in subsidies

$162 more per month for a higher copay, less coverage plan

But, for 2026 at least, I won't die from lack of healthcare access

#Idaho4 #Intersectionality

A few days after this post, my partner found a vintage book titled "Fiddlesticks Freckles" by Sam Campbell

Partner would've never noticed it if it hadn't been for this case

Today, someone bought "Fiddlesticks" from our book stall for $25 😂

An unexpected new Main Character emerged from the #Idaho4 case this week: a cat

Additional body worn camera footage from a Moscow PD door to door canvas was unsealed

A true crime YouTube channel is airing it Live, hundreds of people following along in chat

At first, it's grim

And maddening
