As a kind of follow-up to Dorothy Colleen's book find:

I read and enjoyed this book several years back: Cemetery Boys, by Aiden Thomas
https://www.amazon.com/Cemetery-Boys-Aiden-Thomas/dp/1250250463

And with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Day_of_the_Dead and related observances coming up, I'm hoping your library has/can get it for you.

Prohibiting transgender people from owning firearms, their justification being that supposedly, “Statistically, the trans population has been prone to violence.” White House Senior Director for Counterterrorism Sebastian Gorka made similar remarks: "In just a couple of years, we have seen seven mass shootings involving people of transgender nature or who are confused in their gender. Seven in just the last couple of years. That is inordinately high."

Let’s look at real facts here:

But isn’t it ironic that in 2023 when Charlie Kirk was asked whether he thought his right to own a gun was more important than school children being shot and killed he responded, “I think it’s worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights.“

Passports Are Safe

Thursday an appeals court denied Trump's illegal law against one's desired or court designated gender on their passport. The court claimed Trump's personal dislike for transgender is not a legal basis for passing a law. Lot of legal speak in the court documents but the general idea is they said it was unlikely Trump administration would win an appeal in higher courts.
This was a complete smack down of Trump's Exec Order ruling all passports must have the birth designated gender on one's passport. The following is one of many news feeds carrying the story.

A bad time to be trans

With the trans population being around 0.5%, politicians can afford to not want your vote. At 0.5 % you are useful as scapegoats though. The recent church shooting, and the trans man in Nashville in 2023 shooting up a school. is really not going to help with the hate. You will get them saying "See, trans people are really mentally ill" this just goes to prove it.

Dr. Shannon Joslin, a biologist and bat researcher who has passionately worked at Yosemite for years as an employee of the National Park Service, was recently terminated by the Trump administration. On their own free time, SJ and six others climbed El Capitan in Yosemite and took part in a tradition of hanging a flag at the top. Hanging flags off El Capitan has occurred in the past without consequences. In February, demonstrators hung an upside-down U.S. flag, often symbolizing a distress call, on El Capitan to draw attention to the mass firings by the Trump administration.

While reading the newspaper today I came upon an article detailing how the state of Oklahoma is now requiring teacher applicants from both New York and California who are looking to get a job teaching in Oklahoma to pass a loyalty test. The test is produced by PragerU, an Oklahoma based conservative non-profit which is becoming well known for posting ultra-conservative and religiously based teaching materials on-line.

Here is the link to the article:

OK, this has nothing to do with the theme of this site but I find it interesting.

The church in Kiruna in northern Sweden is moving. The 36 m high and 40 m wide church has been moving with a speed of 0.5 - 0.8 km/h.
This is part of moving the entire cown of some 18 000 inhabitants in order that the mine can continue.

I have really been trying not to post anything political on this site over the past several months. As much as I sometimes need to vent and I feel that a topic may interest those who read here, I also understand that many may not feel it is appropriate. But today I can’t help but so so.
