Wanted to draw a little tribute of sorts to the humble sparkling gourami...had them in my tank a while back and they're such charming little fish.

Text: decoupling pregnancy from femininity means accurate and more inclusive language and treatment, but it also allows cis women to refuse motherhood without refusing womanhood, which is great for feminism and terrifying for misogyny.

With the escalation of harassment from our neighbor, and confirmation that he has a pattern of increasing harassment to the point of violence, we’ve made the decision that we need to pack up and leave ASAP.

We’re waiting for everything to be confirmed, but we have a promising opportunity for a spot to move ourselves and our animals. We want to be prepared to pack up the essentials and get our animals to the new property ASAP, so we’re asking for help in moving to a safer situation. We need a storage unit for our things, Uhaul rental(s), a deposit and transitional rent, and can’t afford to take time off to get everything ready without support.

I feel a chronic need to downplay things, but I’m in a state of constant anxiety that has made it difficult to eat, clean, and even do things I would normally enjoy. The neighbor has been intentionally provoking and creeping on us. He knows our schedule and watches where we go and what we do. We really need help. We really appreciate the support and love everyone’s given us already.
