The world is still out there for us

D and I had a nice time this afternoon, asking local pubs and restaurants if they'd put up a flyer advertising the local queer club that we're on the committee for.

D had designed and printed the posters today; they look great (while also being full of useful information and as accessible as printed things are going to be).

I can really recommend joining an in-person thing, printing stuff on paper, and going around asking strangers if we can put it up there; everyone was kind and friendly -- sometimes even to the point of suggesting nearby derelict buildings that are full of posters, heh. (We didn't take that advice but felt good about worthy of this inside info.)

This has been on my mind, because of the EHRC guidance. Yesterday morning, I said on fedi:

I went to transgym this morning and it was fun and silly and supportive and no one mentioned the EHRC thing and I used the men's room.

The world is still out there for us. As it should be.

The weather has been glorious today too, cloudless blue sky and it actually hit 80F today. We apparently walked 3.5 miles in the course of all this (and getting to and from home of course). I had a pint of Sam Smith's alpine lager, a nonalchoholic ginger beer, and a delicious apple juice with added mint and ginger, so I stayed hydrated!

Tomorrow I'm hoping to drag myself to the gym, since there won't be circuits on a bank holiday. D said he might join me, which would be great. And it also means that we can flyer the gym/library itself, and maybe a few other places that were closed when we went past today.

It's good to find that the kind and caring folks are here, accessible and in solidarity with one another.
