You might remember my distress at not having been able to grab any tiny balancing sheep photos. Went out for a walk today and it wasn't perfect (the pathway is noticeably higher than the field which makes it tricky) BUT VICTORY IS MINE! π π
I continue to stand by rubbish-but-real being better than polished-but-fake.
Behold my rubbish-but-real triptych.

If you asked a person to make a tool that filters for LGBTQ grants, they could say no rather than putting that tool in the hands of DOGE.
But DOGE didn't ask a person, they asked a machine that cannot, by construction, say "no" to fascist demands.

"If voting changed anything they'd make it illegal." - Emma Goldman
People sometimes quote this at me. And I find it best always to point out what you just did. Voting was illegal and people fought like hell for the franchise.

I'm considering finding some way of storing my biography in a capsule that I can swallow (or have placed in my body) so that future archaeologists know who I was, what I did, etc. as a "typical" person from the 21st Century.
This is to favour my partner who is an archaeologist and often complains that there isn't enough information about bodies that get dug up.
AHAHAHAHA!
After Trump kidnapped Maduro, I tried to explain to my RWNJ* in-laws why that was wrong.
Me: "You wouldn't support someone invading the USA, and kidnapping Trump, using the excuse that they thought he was a dictator, would you?"
Them: "Nobody thinks Trump is a dictator. Nobody in their right mind, anyway."
Trump: "I am a dictator."
