Being nonbinary is as natural as every other way to be human. It's blood, tears, and the mundane moments that make up a human life.

There is no way to extricate nonbinary people from humanity at large. We are innate to it.

Screenshot of a post.

Heading:  Hard-hitting notice in my Doctor's surgery - "Do you say sorry?"

Below which a photograph of a notice in a doctor's surgery that reads:

Not vaccinating your kids leaves them vulnerable to disease their whole lives.

When your daughter gets rubella when pregnant, how are you going to explain that you chose to leave her at risk?

What will you say when she calls you and tells you she has cervical cancer, because you decided that she wouldn’t need the HPV vaccine?

What do you tell your son when he breaks the news to you that he cannot have kids, thanks to the mumps that he got as a teenager

And what do You say when he gives influenza to his grandma? How do you explain that she won't be coming home from hospital? Not ever.

Do you tell them that you didn't think these diseases were that serious? That you thought your organic, home cooked food was enough to protect them?

Do you say sorry?

Christ. Just came downstairs to find my dad watching an entirely AI-generated YouTube video about an event that didn't happen involving the Pope. Had to convince him the whole think was fake. "How can you tell?" he asked. He has five degrees including a PhD.

Went for a nice walk along the Los Gatos Creek Trail yesterday, and discovered a new (to me) plant - sea-lavender. With bonus bumblebee! #FlowerReport #BloomScrolling

Pale lavender bunches of papery-looking small flowers, interspersed with pale yellow ones. A large fuzzy bumblebee is sipping from one of the flowers.

As you may know, I share my studio space with another artist. She generally finds employment as a muse, or a demonic 3am visitor, but occasionally she graces us with a work.
In an ongoing series meant to show the impermanence of material goods, and the pleasure of destruction, may I present Athena with her latest piece Destroyed Chair Number 7.

Gorgeous black and white tuxedo cat is happily curled up on a cushion on an office chair. The back of the office chair has been shredded. With wild and passionate abandonment has it been shredded.

In case you're deciding whether or not to wear a respirator when you go out:
Consider that the recent #Covid variant NB.1.8.1 which is dominant in much of Asia, and rising globally as we move into the early stages of this summer's surge, features a symptom referred to as "razor blade throat."

Avenge me. I have been murdered by my cat in the cruelest of fashion. It woke me up at 05:40 to be let out, knowing full well sleep could not be resumed. I am now a ghost among the living, eternally seeking a place to rest my bleary eyes.

Holy moly. I'm still learning #LogicPro, and I just spend an hour trying to figure out why I couldn't control pans on three separate tracks all sending to a single bus, where that bus had all the effects for that sound. Turns out one of the plugins was set to mono 🤦‍♂️

You live and learn...

@Ambulocetus @Em0nM4stodon ¿Would that be the one the film Minority Report is based on?

Although Wikipedia says that's a short story. ¿The Man in the High Castle, perhaps?

@breadandcircuses There's a public toilet next to Palo Alto Caltrain that you need a cell phone to use.
