Day 2 of Ash's birthday weekend: Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian and the U.S. Botanic Garden It's been a lovely couple of days. I think Hillwood Estate, Museum & Gardens was our favorite, but it was also new for us.

Celebrating Ash's birthday with a weekend in DC. Today was Hillwood Estate, Museum & Gardens and Smithsonian’s National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute. Absolutely perfect weather.

Can't I just swap this for a new hyperfixation or something?

Accountability post: yoga practices in February, hippie stickers on this year's super goth Nordic Animist calendar 🤣 Obviously some inconsistencies around the conference and colonoscopy, but I'm good with them.

Kansas just suspended the driver’s licenses of all trans people in the state. One thing us non-Kansans can do to help is donate to Trans Continental Pipeline, a Colorado organization that helps people move to safer places. (H/t to T. Thorn Coyle for the link) tcpipeline .org 🔗⬇️
