As the normiest fucking norm in the world, it’s taken me 40 odd years to internalize that LGBT folks are the canaries in the coal mine of America politics, and pretty much have an unblemished record of warning the rest of us about stuff several years before it hits.

Good news from Montana. The Montana Supreme Court upheld a lower court ruling in favor of youth climate activists! "Given that the case is predicated on Montana's Constitution, this ruling is the final decision. It cannot be appealed to a federal court."

I don’t need social services to be profitable I literally pay taxes for the express purpose of making sure basic shit like roads and schools and the fucking post office are handled, come ON.

A thread worth reading from the stellar activists at @altyellonatpark.org. Check out their feed for information, ideas, hope and great wildlife photos. Save our parks and public lands!

This is Theo. He's always looking out for his older sister Mia. Sometimes that means simply making sure she gets enough pets at day care. 13/10 for both

Thanks to @scalzi.com for the tip about bookshop.org! All my holiday shopping will be from independent bookstores or this site this year. Free shipping and supporting indies instead of billionaires, what's not to love?

The morning tussle. Lucas and Cole sometimes start this before dawn. We love having two playful boys! #dogsofbluesky

Our Reply: Echo chamber? Nah, we prefer to call it surround sound for facts.

Our current administration and senators must dedicate every moment until January 3rd to confirming regulators and judges who will stand up to the Trump administration’s blatant disregard for our environment, wildlife, and parks. This is not a time for despair—it’s a time for decisive action.

Cole's doggie dreamland must be a happy place. Take me there, buddy! #dogsofbluesky

We adopted Lucas 2 years ago and after 6 months, realized he needed a friend. This is Lucas and Cole's first meeting. (Sorry for the interfering gents.) #dogsofbluesky

These are our boys, Cole on the left, Lucas on the right. They give us a reason to get up and hike every morning and to get up at all. #dogsofbluesky #myfirstpost
