That's great you guys got to go! I love the snail, and I REALLY love Bella's bandana! I need that one. Not...uh. Not for Darji but for me! I will happily bite fascists, too!
Taylor's Pride was on Saturday and I could've gone because it started two hours after I got off work. But it was so hot, and I had a pretty rough week sleep-wise, and my sister would've definitely wanted to go - partly because she really would've wanted to be there and support but also I think she thinks that if some Christian fascist tries to shoot me, she'll somehow be my bulletproof shield or something. I don't know. Plus finding parking and her being worn out quick because of the heat, her arthritis, and what we're pretty sure now is CFS thanks to maybe a mild case of Covid and all the shit work she did for Linda and Joe. So we opted out this year, but they had a good Pride anyway, despite the fascist mayor refusing to read the Pride Proclamation this year. Apparently, there was someone with a bullhorn that followed all the shitty protesters whenever they'd leave their designated protest area to come into the celebration grounds - the bullhorn hero was following them and announcing their presence with "Bigots are here! Bigots on parade! Here come the bigots!" I wish I could've seen that.
Hell, I wish I could've DONE that. I didn't know that there was a anti-bigot herald role to be played! I'd have volunteered, no matter how hot or tired I was from the work week!
