After the rock show we saw a sign for a county nature preserve and decided to go take a look, which is where i got my earlier silent Sunday photo and the little red flower before that.

Those woods were *really* thick. It was a little soggy, there were warning signs to be on the look put for coral snakes and copperheads and I wasn't exactly dressed for the mosquitoes that were chewing on my legs. Despite that it was really neat traipsing around in the woods.

Here are a few interesting pics.

Pic 1: It made me nervous that there could be wild hogs there. They are no joke.
Pic 2: I think these are Youpon Holly trees that have quite tall and created a tunnel of sorts over the trail.
Pic 3: this turned out pretty cool the way the sunlight was pouring in on this one section where my wife crouched down to take a photo of something
Pic 4: Your intrepid fellow Mastonaut trying to look like she's having a good time while getting chewed up by mosquitoes.

My easiest action of resistance: me, a trans enby guy, very obviously queer, wearing my pronouns/LGBTQ flag buttons doing tours for schools at my local art museum.

It might not be much but I do believe being openly who I am in front of young people, unafraid and proud, is one way to show them it's ok to be whoever you are and that they're not alone. :intersexprogresspride:

Pedro Pascal standing by his trans sister and the community is beautiful so is Nichola Coughlan. For the the shit that's hitting us at the moment. It's comforting to know people who have a voice stand by us as much as those who are against. We will weather this storm. We will survive. Maybe one day things will change. But even if they don't. Be you because you have as many allies as detractors. Have a beautiful weekend.💖

Got a lift home from trans gym and had a nice chat with my pal: ignore the EHRC guidance if you're feeling wobbly, how to manage a hyperfixation on All This, the importance of trans joy, and spite is a perfectly valid motivator.

They had two bits of #TransJoy to share: someone they know came out this week as gender diverse, and when they were getting a haircut an old lady was getting her hair dyed rainbow colors in solidarity with her grandson who has his date for top surgery.

I will gladly admit: I have never felt a belonging as strong and lovely as to the trans community. When I finally admitted to myself that I an a trans person, it was like a gazillion-metric-ton weight lifted from my chest, but when I "joined"* the trans community, it was like "finally coming home".

Yes, #LoveOfMyLife is that part of the home because she also belongs to that community- not because she is a trans person (she is not, she is cis), she is part of the trans community for being such an amazing ally/supporter/partner.
