Angry red circles and a pyramidal bronze leafed tree, very much alive. And some yellow straw colored (SUCCESSFULLY REMOVED) weedy grass. Obviously the biggest offense ever to exist.

Two dogs lay back to back on a couch with their heads resting on a throw pillow. The dog on the right, Tasslehoff Noseprint, is a Chihuahua/daschund mix with chocolate brown and white fur.

Original pile of wood chips dumped towards the left side of my driveway in front of a two car garage. The pile is a long, lumpy trail of chips that vary in color, some mixed with green, while other sections are darker brown. The pile is long, and covers the sidewalk. There are trees behind the chip pile.

An oval reflecting pool fountain is lit for the sides in the middle of a snowy courtyard. Behind it is the lit neo-classical rotunda of the Utah Capitol. The sky is a kind of periwinkle shade of evening cloud cover at sunset.

The wings, legs, antennae, and upper segment are done in smooth (mostly satin) stitches, but the body of the bee is a dense carpet of alternating yellow and brown turkey stitches.

Screenshot of statement titled, Utah House Democrats Respond to Bills Targeting Transgender Utahns It reads: SALT LAKE CITY - The Utah House Democratic Caucus issued the following statement in response to H.B. 174 and H.B. 193 passing out of the Utah House of Representatives: "The bills that passed the House today represent a troubling pattern of government overreach that targets transgender Utahns and interferes with personal medical decisions. Instead of ensuring people can access evidence-based healthcare, these bills create fear and instability for patients and their families. H.B. 174 unnecessarily singles out a small group of Utahns and puts their health and safety at risk by forcing children to detransition, disregarding medical consensus and the well-being of patients. H.B. 193 would harm constituents in every district across the state by banning anyone on public insurance from receiving gender-affirming care. Lives will be proudly impacted, and potentially at risk, if these bills were signed into law. Our caucus stands with transgender Utahns. We recognize that this annual onslaught of targeted legislation causes lasting harm. To everyone impacted, we want you to know: we see you, we stand with you, and we will keep fighting for you."

A Trans Lash Podcast with Imara Jones pull quote with a headshot of Chase Strangio, the trans attorney who argued this case before the Supreme Court. The text reads, ' "We have to get the public to understand is that they are being tricked into co-opting an anti-trans narrative that is really about building fascist institutions. And so that is part of the project that we have to undertake and I think about how we're building long-term because the work we're doing in the courts is just harm reduction work." - Chase Strangio'
A very long legged slender mixed breed dog stands on a bearded man with mirrored sunglasses in the back seat of a side by side. The man is holding the yellow dog against his chest to help Tucker stable. Tucker's eyes are closed and he seems to be contentedly enjoying the warmth of the sun and scents drifting in. Green hills and the water of a reservoir can be seen in the background.
A downy chick with pale grey and black fluff patterns. Mai is perched on the crook of my elbow. We brought them from the brooder to snuggle with us every day when they were still small. Both chicks were hatched by a friend of mine, and sired by surprise rooster (Tracy) we raised with our older chickens Pusheen and Tomo.

A black and white photo of a couple on a blanket laying on their stomachs and looking forward up to the camera. The man is smiling, but the woman is sticking her tongue out.
