Not much to report here. Did a little work yesterda, so, better than nothing, I guess.
Couldn't tell you what mood state I am in. if our nation's security depended on it. Leaning depressed a bit, I guess? So odd for this time of year. Always manic this time of year, historically. Seems to be quite different this year. Huh.
So happy about that Supreme Court decision on LGBTQ rights. About time. If we ever do lose an independent judiciary to an authoritarian, it will be the end of this democracy and this experiment and there will be a civil war. So, very nice that we don't have to do that. For now...

Thank you for mentioning this victory!
The court ruling is a huge and a wonderful win for the LGBTQ+ community!
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act has needed a ruling and the court's decision is fantastic! It seems strange to feel like any group of people needs a Supreme Court ruling in order to be afforded the rights afforded others.
Nonetheless, this is cause for celebration!
I am, on the other hand, both sad and angry.
Just this past Friday, 06/12/20, this administration introduced a rule which erased the non-discrimination protections in healthcare for the LGBTQ+ community. The "rollbacks" reach back and beyond the protections put in place by ObamaCare. Many are concerned some members of the LGBTQ+ community now may not seek care when needed during this pandemic.
I cannot imagine ever thinking it's fine to erase these rights. The simple enactment of this new rule of exclusion was bad enough. The hostilities toward our LGBTQ+ friends and family were also demonstrated by announcing this new rule during June, which is Pride Month. The administration chose to add further insult to injury by announcing this rule on the 4 year anniversary of
I find some solace in the fact that the Human Rights Campaign has announced they will file suit to reverse these recent exclusions of equal rights in medical care for the LGBTQ+ community.
Equality and Love to ALL!
