I already said it and I will say it again: If you stand with trans people or not, if you will support them without questions and without holding back or if you think of them as acceptable losses, might be the tipping point if we can preserve our democracy — or not.
Acceptance of trans people — or rather the lack of it — is the pond fascists dip their toes in to test the water if we are willing and open to being divided.

Our world should acknowledge that every person is precious & unique. And, we have to fight the ugly side of persons. If persons stay with and stick to the ugly side - we have little chances... this we have to accept!

This morning, an old guy came by. On a mobility scooter (we're way out of town). In his sunday best.
Told us a story about how he's a relative of the old man whose place we bought here, but they're not on speaking terms.
Was looking for an old chest that was some relation to his, but couldn't remember much about it, size, colour, nothing.
Got a couple of those chests, most exiled in various barns, some rotted away, some full of stuff. I showed him one and he said he didn't know it but wanted to take it anyways.
Bit weird. If it's some special meaning to you, surely you'd want the exact one, not the first one you see. Otherwise you can just get any old chest from the flea market?
Said no. No way the mobility scooter was going to fit that anyways.
Strange morning.

Turkish Central Bank likely to keep policy rate unchanged - EUROPE SAYS
Anadolu surveyed economists, who projected that the Turkish Central Bank would keep the policy interest rate at 46% next week.EUROPE SAYS
Juniperus osteosperma (Utah juniper). I love these little natural bonsai trees I found on this mesa top. They're literally all over the place. It's an elfin forest! Utah junipers generally grow to ~15 feet and can live up to a 1,000 years. This specimen, growing from a crack in the sandstone, is only ~3 feet tall. Guessing by its appearance and the size of the trunk it could be 300-400 years old or maybe more!
