right now, showing public support for trans people, for immigrants, and for abortion access is both 1) incredibly important and 2) punk as fuck.

all this talk of British animals not being up to scratch is mistaken. Scottish Wildcat, or GTFO. the perfect British animal, got a permanent grump on:
The government is asking for public comments on whether banks should be able to deny you from buying legal goods at their own whim (i.e. how they're cracking down on art)

This site needs a break. Post 3 good things, none of which are the cessation of a negative.
1. finishing the 2-for-1 strawberries before they go bad (a minor miracle)
2. my cats' WWE smackdowns - it's like watching teddy bears fight
3. fresh homemade bread

Enjoy a full minute of beavers being released into the wild in Cornwall. These little fluffbutts are the first to swim in these waters in a very, very long time - the last official records of beavers in the wild in England are from the 1300s. BBC buff.ly/BnMwCOx

Happy Harriet Tubman Day!
Today we honor the legendary abolitionist's legacy. While officially observed on March 10 in NY (especially Auburn, where she is buried), calls are growing to make this a federal holiday.
I would say that Legends and Lattes is written like a novel for children but Princess Academy actually is a novel for children and it attempts way more within those confines, so really itβs written like a novel for an algorithm trying to find the median reader and offend no one.
ftr the teacher didn't end up coming back, I think because the school's lawyer told the headmaster "Are you on drugs??" But that weasel tried to hire the student's abuser the SECOND her youngest brother graduated, after happily taking his tuition money. No hate like Christian love!!!
Not so much a spark as a straw that broke the camel's back - I found out that the teacher who "resigned" from my Christian high school for kissing a student was being rehired. The headmaster made bs excuses and I realized they didn't believe anything they preached, so why should I?
I think we could all do with some 400-year-old flowering ume (flowering Japanese sour plum-apricot) bonsai in our lives.
This is the 75th anniversary Nagahama Bonbai (ume bonsai) Exhibition.
And this incredible 400-year-old tree is Furo, meaning Eternal Youth.

that they have kept their relationship intensely private to the point that this is how we find out is probably the best sign they might actually make it

βThe children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality.β - James Baldwin
Additionally, I want to speak directly to Iranian New Yorkers: you are part of the fabric of this city β you are our neighbors, small business owners, students, artists, workers, and community leaders.Β You will be safe here.
You know what you could do today instead of doomscrolling all day is go pick up a copy of Persepolis. It is stunningly good.
I know itβs difficult right now, but I insist that you seek and enjoy beautiful things, even if it seems frivolous or irresponsible in the face of overwhelming horror. I want you to feed yourself artistically, spiritually, and literally, because you canβt Do The Work when youβre starving.
Your ability to eat should not depend on your productivity
Your ability to get healthcare should not depend on your productivity
Your ability to get housing should not depend on your productivity
Saying βbe more productive!β To those who are struggling devalues human life.
It aids fascism.
A reminder that Girl Scouting of America has welcomed trans and nonbinary girls from the first one that asked, has always had lesbian and bi members and adults, never declared bankruptcy to avoid paying for sexual assaults, and never poached the other side to recover from said bankruptcy.
