      It’s so funny (not in a good way) to see this change - I grew up going to drag shows, there is still so much gay culture here, and it’s such a a diverse place, no matter what axis you spin it on. We know trans people (one of my kids among them, but older people too) and there isn’t much discrimination “on the ground” here, my trans kid got a job the same place my other kids did, and only HR keeps the paperwork with physical sex as gender, in practice they are treated as they choose. And that’s at a nominally religious place. In school too, the teachers and kids did not care, just took it in stride. The outright hostility in Tallahassee is insane, but it doesn’t translate to hostility in the city here. Or not yet at least.

      Make Florida Freaky Again. That will be my platform if ever I run for governor.

      The stinky water is because they let you use reclaimed water for watering a lawn, it’s hella efficient and good for the plants. Gardens don’t need drinking water. It does smell bad but is a good thing.
