Hello good morning I am BUSY and TIRED and I HAVE A BOOK COMING OUT TOMORROW and I am RAPIDLY RUNNING OUT OF THINGS TO SAY ABOUT IT!!! It's a polyamorous triad where they're all the grumpy one, they're all the sunshine one, and they're all soft for each other!

Of course the real issue will be making sure I'm assigned a site small enough that I don't immediately go way too hard and hurt myself, or allow it to take over all of my life and free time, but what else is new about the way I take on projects?

I already do rewilding volunteering through a local non-profit (the leader of which is the one who told me about the Forest Steward program) and that's great, but having ONE site that I get to fix up MYSELF and then admire over the years? Be still my plant-loving heart!

Recently learned that there's a Forest Steward program in my city and if I apply/am accepted I get assigned a little work site in a neighborhood park and an allotment of native plants to plant there once I've removed all the invasive species, and everyone shut up, this is all I'm gonna talk about

Absolutely no one is doing it like me at the volunteer forest restoration events, probably because no one else habitually sees the worst, most uncomfortable place to work, asks, "Is anyone gonna bury themselves in that?" and doesn't wait for an answer 😂
A grinning white woman in gardening overalls triumphantly holds a large clump of Himalayan blackberry canes over her head that are at least ten feet long and very thick. A section of forest undergrowth choked with invasive blackberries. The same section of forest, with much fewer blackberries and a lot of space opened up for planting native trees and shrubs.

She gets to go on her own adventure and have her own happy ending where she ends up in an f/f/nb triad.

They are romance novel sequels, not fantasy sequels, by which I mean each romance arc stands alone so they don't NEED to be read in order, but it helps!

The first two books are a duology about Lucian (a shy repressed monk) and Glory (a burly, friendly warrior) going on sexy adventures and falling in love. It is the queerest f/m I could possibly write, with a lot of queer side characters!

The second book is about the Knife, a side character! ...

It should be needless to say, but it is perhaps at this moment worth saying, that transgender individuals have the same right as anyone else to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Call your reps. We know that Dems will throw trans people under the bus even without the govt shutdown on the line. They need to hear from everyone but especially cis folks that this is not acceptable.

1. The HHS Appropriations Bill is out and it contains several devastating anti-trans provision.

It would bar federal funding for trans youth and adult care nationwide, which could be used to bar hospitals from providing it at all.

Will Democrats stand firm, or cave to avoid a shutdown?
House HHS Appropriations Bill Would Devastate Trans Adult Healthcare Nationwide
The bill would bar federal funding for any "social, psychological, behavioral, or medical intervention" to treat gender dysphoria.

Update on this: I made an appointment at a Seattle CVS yesterday and checked the "I have a preexisting condition" box online to actually MAKE the appointment, but then I went in and no one asked me any questions, possibly because the nurse was too busy talking about herself the entire time.

FYI, fellow Washingtonians! The Department of Health has issued a standing order to let people get Covid vaccines without a doctor's prescription! The order itself functions as a prescription, and if a pharmacy denies you a booster, there's a complaint line to report it!

Great to meet with WA State Sen. Alvarado and her aide (whose name I shamefully forgot) today with @irisjaycomics.bsky.social to talk about Visa/MC/Stripe's censorship of the internet, the need for universal healthcare, full sex work decriminalization, and rent control! She'll see what she can do!

ALSO!!! This is super important!!! Senator Alvarado told me she had NO IDEA about the Visa/MC content bans before I started calling her about it. She thanked me for calling every day and told me to keep doing it, and keep her informed about new issues.

Call your state reps!!!! It's worth it!!!
