After taxes
Today…
is the anniversary of Brown v. Board (1954).
is International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia & Transphobia. This year’s theme, as always, is Knock It TF Off Already. (Okay, not really, but…)
is National Mushroom Hunting Day. The one time I tried to go out, a few weeks ago, city workers were clearing out a fallen tree so we couldn’t get to our spot. Now I think it’s too late in the season.
