It's the second day of Pride month and I wanted to thank those who signed up yesterday! I'm currently sitting at 730 paid subscribers and I'm trying to get to 800 by the end of the month. There has never been a better time to support independent trans journalists than right now.

Happy Pride folks. Now help me to convince my daughter and her wife to emigrate to someplace safer. I'm so angry and tense all the time these days that my stomach hurts 24/7. Not even my new bird toy is making me happy.

This morning we drove to Bozeman Pride for @zoandbehold.bsky.social to speak, then went down to Yellowstone and saw incredible sights. Then, on the drive back to Missoula at 1AM, the heavens erupted. Naked eye visible aurora. The northern lights told us Happy Pride :)

Tim Walz: I saw recently, the Democrats got together and hired a bunch of people, and they went into a hotel to decide how we can best message to people. That's how we got into this damn mess. Stay away from the poll-tested things - just tell people where they're at.

It is my personal view, and has been for 15 years, that only medical exemptions from childhood vaccine requirements should be permitted in every state in the U.S. I believe that if families want to use the opportunities provided by the community, they need to participate in community health.
