The video is so good I went to check it out for myself!
A still from the video of the moon above, in which a stunning orange full moon sits in the top right of a black sky. A picture of a back cat standing and facing the camera has been awkwardly edited on to the moon.

Regardless of if you celebrate the Mid-Autumn Moon Festival, the Harvest Moon, or just making it through the day, every night we see is another one our enemies wish we hadn't.

Here's tonight's #FullMoon rising.

I hope if you have some clear skies you can look up and smile tonight. ❤️

A few good things from today:
- I practiced guitar
- It was lovely outside and felt like fall, with a slight drizzle and then an orange sunset
- tea
- candlelight
- sidewalk chalk

New #mutualaid post for October. I'm traveling out of state this month to Colorado to visit my fiance, and groceries are a lot more expensive here than where I live. I've raised enough for groceries for the next two weeks, but with little leftover.

If you've ever had to hide your gender identity you have never ever betrayed yourself

you've been betrayed by others who haven't created the space for you to be you

And we have to do better by you.

I'm opening up EMERGENCY COMMS! Please commission me for custom hats, scarves, gloves/mittens, or socks! I will take 3-4 of these. Note that I still probably won't be able to ship anything until after I return home in late October.

Actually @governor.ca.gov has until Friday to sign the bills.

Call his office and demand he sign them.

(916) 445-2841

The hold times were long— they offer a VM option if you can't stay on. Let him know the political price he'll pay if he fails to stand up for a community under attack.

Hallows Eve by Elle Cordova is described by the artist as "like Monster Mash but more wistful." I hear something like Piano Man but Halloween. Definitely going on my personal must-listen list for future Octobers. 🎃

The little cat steps on the wizard's face, waking him up. He goes to make waffles with prickly pear fruit jelly and put some fish out for the little cat. As he makes tea, the air fills with the smell of cranberry. As he eats, he reads the spellbooks that were delivered from magic interlibrary loan.

9) People are, all things considered, pretty good.

I see twenty thousand people a day, and maybe two of them are assholes. Even on a stressful day, even in an unfamiliar environment, even hungry and tired and on a timer.

That's a *much* better ratio than folks realize.
