But neither sun nor moon, my dear, has yet caught me

We are home. You can tell because someone just set off a window-rattling firework less than a block from our building. Nonetheless, we celebrated our return inland with clam chowder and fish and chips. My hair still smells faintly of salt and I take comfort in it.

Given the very high levels of hateful everything lately, I was truly not expecting the Supreme Court ruling on workplace protections and queer rights to go the way it did. I am very happy it did! May it presage similarly humane rulings when the rest of the everything hits the legal fan.

Autolycus has reclaimed his rightful lap.

I KNOW!!!!! re the Supreme Court. Huzzah!!!!

Clam chowder and fish and chips sounds pretty good to me, and an unexpected outbreak of common sense and decency in the Supreme Court the perfect compliment to it. I saw the tweets from one of the lawyers in the case and they all "I've got the judgement, do I dare open it? OMG, did we win!?! We won!"

I wasn't that surprised by the Supreme Court decision - as long as the issue doesn't deal with guns or keeping the GOP in power, Roberts is (barely) okay. OTOH, I'd have bet money Gorsuch would have voted the other way. In any case, thank the gods we all won this one.

Autolycus's nose is so very much like our Ninja's. The lowering expression, I assume a comment on your having been away, is his very own, though. Ninja can't look that disapproving. Which is strange, given the similarity of their faces. Personality rules, I guess.

I was scunnered by the Supreme Court decision. I'd just assumed all of their decisions would be garbage from now on. What particularly delights me is Alito's temper tantrum and the apparent very casual dismissal of it by Gorsuch. I guess if you are any kind of a lawyer it was a very easy case. Gorsuch is not my hero; I am sure he is capable of horrors and will commit some at some point. But I am so happy he did not do so for this case.

Just hoping that our own idiot government won't get away with the changes for the worse they want to make to trans rights here.

But it's still okay to abuse us with impunity. :o(

(I love your music. That whole double album means a lot to me.)

Welcome home! What a beautiful Autolycus.
