sistawendy: me looking confident in a black '50s retro dress (mad woman)
It's been in the local news that Haven Wilvich has gotten death threats. You see, Haven is trans, and the folks at Olympus Spa wouldn't let her in because it might make their other customers "uncomfortable". (How I despise that word now.) Haven filed a human rights complaint with Washington state, but then Olympus had the bad grace to sue and lose. Haven's name is in the public record thanks to the state's misguided policy, so all too predictably, she and her wife are now getting the threats.

If you go to Olympus, it would be super great if you'd stop, and tell them why.

Haven put out the call for people to come to her and be social for moral support. You know that's up my alley, so I went yesterday. I had a lovely time. I only regret that I couldn't stay longer because I'm on call for work until EOD today.

I didn't hit the Merc last night because I got whomped by tiredness after dinner. But it's a long weekend here in the US of A, so I shall shake my booty to house music tonight.

Plant brag: the last of the four single leaves that I planted after accidentally smashing an African violet to pieces has sprouted tiny little leaves. Where I had one plant ten weeks ago, I now have six. And I gave up on two other plants a week or two ago – may they live on as municipal compost – and replaced them with cuttings, so now I'm waiting for more tiny leaves.

Edited to add: Bible brag. I finally finished Romans, the first and longest of the Epistles. It will get its own entry, natch.
