Just want to re-up some fundraisers including our own.
Wellington Pride is being sued by some trans-exclusionary Lesbians.
This case is very important because the anti-trans group is hoping for a legal precedent.

Seeing some crazy high/spiking SF-Bay Area-Silicon Valley covid wastewater levels right now. Very sharp increases and far, far higher than this time last year -- like many places around the world it's not been this high since 2022. Mask up that pretty face please.
