* Friday: Our HOA agreement allows seasonal decorations (within certain boundaries). So I was like, "Hey Squirrel, it occurs to me that PRIDE and particularly Stonewall Day are in fact holidays, so the HOA can't stop us. How would you feel about hanging a PRIDE flags up?" Because you don't cover your front window with a massive progress flag without consulting your roommate. He was really into it and wanted to get his own flag for his own window on top of the shared common space one. (I would love the chevrons, but flags are expensive so me getting a 45ish +shipping queer flag, yes I priced them and did the sourcing a monthish ago and it was hard ass things kept selling out or being sold out, on my own was too much money. Maybe next year). After some consultation we worked out which one he wanted and did the order. We did hang them in plenty of time for Stonewall day and they've been up a couple of weeks. My plan was to take them down on the 5th which is in margin by the letter of the rules, and damned if I don't want that thing up for the 4th for obvious fucking reasons. I generally don't rules lawyer, but i will for a good cause.

So when coming back from library curbside Monday I spotted the noticed the HOA had hung on the lobby door with passive aggressive highlighting on the sentence about not hanging political signs in the windows. I smiled, because I'd been waiting to see if they would give me an intent to fine notice, because my plan was to call them right up and point out that people are allowed to hang Christmas decorations, which given the whole bullshit war on Christmas rhetoric is a political issue. All we did was hang decorations celebrating Stonewall Day. Are you saying my identity is a political issue? Not a good look for the HOA in my deep blue college town.

Remember, I'm the person who put on clothes at 11:20PM on a Sunday night in the mid-90's to stomp a long block west to yell at a frat party to stop blasting 'Rockin Robin on repeat because some of us have jobs and need to sleep, with my terrified partner trailing after me, convinced I was a bout to get killed in a brawl with an entire frat and if I really was doing that, he should probably come have my back. They turned it off, chastened. More recently a few years ago I went and stood next to a Lady being screamed at by a mob anti-choicers and yelled back at them with her. I may pick my battles, but I'm all the fuck in when I fight.

So nothing happens and the days pass with no intent to fine notice. Squirrel's parking moves at the month change and he used that door coming home from work this morning and saw the notice. Him: This is definitely aimed at us. Nothing else has changed in the complex. Me: Oh yes. I spotted it Monday. If they want me to take it down they are going to have to explicitly tell me they don't consider PRIDE and Stonewall day real holidays. Him: They won't do that. Me: In which case I win. They either have to fight me over it or live with me ignoring their passive aggressive general notice.

The sign had to have gone up between last Monday afternoon and the Monday before, when I last used that door, which means I feel okay about taking my flag down on the 5th as planned. I'll still be within the HOA's own rules and nearly a week doesn't look like capitulation. Especially when they go back up next June. squirrel likes his so much It's going to be a wall hanging in his room and he's thinking about seeing if he can get a flag big enough to use as a door curtain for his room when there's more money, a project of which I approve. (We use shower curtains to create an airlock/privacy while leaving the doors ajar for cats.)

* Sunday: It will likely come as no surprise to you all that the Imperial couple do not react well to fireworks. Elder Kitty didn't mind them all that much before her hearing started to weaken and these days with her dementia, she only really responds to familiar stimulae that directly affects her in some way. Tavy and Livia though? A whole other story.

I fed the girls before it all started, which was a wise move. Livia had returned to the bed to hang out with me by the time of the first explosion. She clearly considered running, but I was calm and the bed room is generally invader free, so she decided to hang with me despite misgivings. Tavy came running in and jumped up on the bed to see iif we were scared and if this was a full on hide situation. He saw me lying there all calm and Livia nervous but holding it together and decided the "Hide on the bed in comfort as a group" plan was better than retreat to the secure hide. Her nerve nearly broke when the roman candle barrage happened on the other side of the gazebo, but they did really well, considering the both hate loud noises and unexpected happenings.

It's been rainy and cold for days, which I am grateful for since it discourages maskless idiots from congregating to breathe virus on each other. Bonus, it really cuts down on illegal firework related fires. It was still loud for a while, but it wasn't nearly as bad as usual when we get a week of explosions. We had a few on the third and then the usual nonsense in the complex, but it stopped early.

Taking the long silence for the end, I went and made dinner and did the usual chores. After I ate, I was just settling in for lungs and Tavy had just climbed on intending a pet and a cuddle nap. (He really likes lung time cuddle naps and he's especially big on them lately because he doesn't sleep on me as much with the machines going). His forth paw had landed when someone set off a massive mortar outside the window and he panicked all the way to his hide.

There followed another half hour or so, but they were done by midnight instead of going until dawn, so it's a huge win. They really did ride most of it out on the bed, and while they needed a lot of extra attention all night they had clearly recovered by dawn.

I've taken the PRIDE flag out of the front window and folded it away for next year. I even changed the 30. (Plus some MUSH Chargen). What I didn't do is much aggregate. Ooops.

I would like to add that within the lifetime of our trans elders, people were forced into reparitive therapy against their will and one of the methods was to force Trans Men to take estrogen and Trans Women to take testosterone. It was incredibly damaging psychologically and physically. What you are witnessing when you watch that episode is supposed heroes reenacting a hate crime perpetrated against a community in living memory over the weak objections of one character who then participates anyway. The tropes they perpetuate are used in court to justify the murders of the women in our community and murderers still get away with it as a result. I will never watch another episode. Fuck Grim!

* Supernatural: I have so many questions. Why are souls in heaven kept in solitary cells? Wouldn't Bobby have his wife and friends like Rufus with him if heaven was a good place and not a prison? If it is not a prison, why do they need alarms against escape. I think Chuck has some serious explaining to do. I still suspect I will never forgive them for doing this to Bobby though. Heaven is still a better class of prison than hell and they had to know they were about to fuck Bobby's eternity up when they did it.
