Wearing a long white skirt and an ace pride top I crocheted with a white cup, a purple cup, 5 rows of gray in different stitches, and a few inches of black lace. I'm staring awkwardly at my boobs because I always make derp faces when my photo is taken.

Cover of the classic children's book Frog And Toad Are Friends.

Drawing of Toad, a brown toad, sitting on a bench, dressed in a green jacket and slacks. He is reading a book to his friend Frog, a green frog dressed in a brown jacket and slacks. They are surrounded by green plants and mushrooms. There is a silver Caldecott Medal in the corner.

Text has been altered from original. It reads
Fiftieth Anniversary
Frog and Toad Are Antifa

Today is World Mental Health Day 🪴

It’s okay to not be okay. You’re doing the best you can in a hostile and difficult world, and I’m proud of you for that.

Take time to do something kind for yourself today 🩵

Chiitan has a dream.
I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍

I suspect most of the best lyrics are in musical theatre and rap/hip hop, but I listen almost exclusively to metal soooo

I also need to know: I am fairly middle-of-the-road on Taylor Swift but someone I know called her the Greatest Living Lyricist. She is not.

Who is yours? Either the greatest or your favorite?

Not only this is amazing because part of fascism is the destruction of joy but it also makes it look ridiculous that the military is being deployed to put a stop to this

I’m not kidding when I say these weird ass costumes and antics are actually an extremely effective tactic from a media standpoint bc when enough people do them, the media can’t fully scrub them out

thanks for sharing. I'm not familiar with Phantom, but Christine sounds like somebody who would resonate with me, too.

sweet potato

Pretty Translator Sarah Moon @prettytranslator.bsky.social · 1d

the tomato plants have slowed down, but they're still kicking. I harvest about 1-2 cups per week.

I project I will have harvested about 30 pints by the end of the season (not counting the green tomatoes I'll turn into salsa.)

a blue paper pint container filled about 3/4 of the way with an assortment of colorful cherry tomatoes and one very small san marzano tomato.

Pretty Translator Sarah Moon @prettytranslator.bsky.social · 1d

best breakfast.

a slice of sweet potato pie with whipped cream on a small plate with a fork beside a giant black mug of assam tea with with canned milk and honey.
