Petit mise à jour après près d'un mois sans nouvelles sur le blogue... (oops): «Mes voyages d'été et un atelier sur le thé japonais traditionnel» https://gersande.com/blog/mes-voyages-dete-et-un-atelier-sur-le-the-japonais-traditionnel/ via @gersandelf@twitter.com

Quick Friday afternoon blog post update, as it's been almost a month since I last updated the blog... "Summer travels and a traditional Japanese tea workshop" https://gersande.com/blog/summer-travels-and-a-traditional-japanese-tea-workshop/

Funny how “I love you just the way you are” is such an alarming and terrifying threat to queer and trans children, yet it’s a statement upheld as extremely loving or even romantic outside queer circles.

I find the moon in the southwest quadrant of the sky completely breathtaking tonight. It’s sitting low on the horizon, looks nearly full, giant yellow ball of light, completely breathtaking. I love big spooky summer moons.

The day https://tweetdeck.twitter.com stops working properly is the day I stop using twitter. Anyways, find me on Mastodon at: https://mastodon.social/@gersande

While walking around tonight a stranger stopped us and asked if we found Luna, recognizing us from last September when we spent 10 days howling her name in the streets to find her. He was genuinely delighted to hear we found our cat. Nice little neighbourly moment!
