Transgender Awareness Week


 I decided to post this in honor of one of my oldest, bestest friends.

I'm not here to politic or explain, just accept.

I know my friend well enough that I understood when he called to tell me, and I'll never forget the moment I really saw HIM.

Watching him grow and find a sense of freedom since is all the reason I need to believe it was the right choice for him, his truth.


Yesterday, the Human Rights Campaign marked 10 years of tracking violence against transgenders.

November 20 is Transgender Day of Remembrance.  This year, 32 lives have been lost, although the number of deaths are likely under-reported.

  Science is also serious. You may have heard that a case review is ongoing regarding the safety and science of an abortion pill, called mifepristone, that has been on the market since 2000. It's another attack from antiabortionists who want to restrict others from care and choice for themselves. Of course, the FDA already vetted the drug and numerous studies show the pill is safe and effective. "If courts can go against a whole tremendous amount of scientific evidence, that just doesn't seem right." More Info: Science News News and Politics

 A newer tradition developed from the horrors of certain families, or maybe just the stress of all the preparation, but Hubby and I are ditching all that this year - we're going camping. Perhaps some brandy to help keep us warm.... And I came across a yummy martini recipe: you'll need a pumpkin liquor (the particular one was a whiskey), vanilla vodka, and Irish cream.  Shake 'em up and then add a pinch of cinnamon and/or nutmeg. Be safe, be fed, be thankful. All my love.
