Woodchuck battles continue, but I saw it eating clover instead of flowers, so maybe the herb guardians are working. Seemed like it rained but it might not have; will try to water plants all early in the morning tomorrow.

Is into politeness today? Greeting everybody, “Hello, how are you!?” – I got it when I picked him up from daycare and also when he and Hoy got back from the park while I was cooking.

Today I put in more hours, did more reading and felt more behind than expected, and also more sad. Three articles worth of families seeking care for trans kids in the UK. Catching up on the latest in transphobia; I had missed “desisting,” I didn’t realize what getting trans care at NHS is like. When they say 20 years behind, they may be joking, but they’re not wrong… at least these are stories of kids whose parents love them and are doing their best.
