I'll Always Love You - Jay Halstead

Warning: mention of major character's death.

"What are you doing?" You whispered-yelled with widened eyes as you watched Jay jump over someone's gate.

"I'm getting you that flower." He smiled at you from the other side of a stranger's property.

"You're not 'getting it', you're stealing!" 

"I don't care." He shrugged his shoulders and knelt down on the floor, reaching for the white rose that always mesmerized you every time you walked past this house. "I'll do anything for you, you know that." He quietly confessed, walking back to the gate and putting the flower between his lips as he tried to climb the gate once again.

"I don't know if I should yell at you or kiss you." You let out a nervous laugh as you watched your boyfriend jump back to the sidewalk before taking the flower from his mouth and giving it to you.

Jay crouched down and carefully placed a white rose on the ground as a half smile formed on his face. It was the first time he didn't cry when he came here.

Reaching his hand forward, he brushed his fingers to your name carved on the grave. "I always used to say that I would do anything for you…" He paused, slightly shaking his head as he held back the tears. Jay knew what he had to do in case you died. You being a firefighter and him being a cop meant that, someday, something terrible could happen to one of you. So before you got married, both of you let it clear what you wanted to happen in case one of you were gone. "You said that I should move on, but I- I can't…I can't, baby. You're the only one I'll ever love." He smiled, letting the tears run down his face for the first time since you passed away.

"Don't cry, daddy." The little girl quickly wrapped her arms around him, hugging him tight as her own eyes started to water. "Mommy wouldn't want that." 

"You're right…" Jay smiled, kissing her temple. He slightly pushed her away so he could look her in the eyes. "Why don't you say mommy goodbye and give her your flower, Rosie?"

Nodding her head, she stepped forward and placed another white rose on your grave. Smiling, Rosie placed a kiss over your name and whispered: "I love you, mommy."

The whole scene made Jay's heart sink in his chest. He couldn't say it broke his heart because it was already broken since the day you died.

Apple Day 

Apple Day is mainly celebrated in the United Kingdom, where it was started. Common Ground, a group dedicated to building strong communities, strengthening local distinctiveness, and connecting people with nature and each other, held the first Apple Day in 1990, at Covent Garden in London, England. Their goal was to create an autumn holiday that would not only be celebrated in London, but also in other cities, villages, parishes, markets, and even orchards. They wanted to demonstrate the richness and diversity of apples, but also the diversity of landscape, ecology, and culture as a whole.

Many different activities have taken place on the day. First and foremost has been the buying, tasting, and eating of apples. Other activities have included juicing, pruning, grafting, and identifying apples, and games, songs, and poetry about apples. In England, many groups such as museums, shops, restaurants, horticultural societies, Wildlife Trusts, National Trust properties, and schools organize activities for the day. By the second year of Apple Day, there were over 60 events. There were over 300 events in 1997, and 600 by the new millennium. Not all "apple days" are held on October 21. Some groups hold these celebrations on other days of the month.

Through the day's success, it has not only demonstrated the importance of the apple but the importance of local celebrations as well. The day has germinated local pride and grown interest in local distinctiveness. Apple Day has also led to an interest in raising awareness for the origins of food and to encouraging healthy eating.

The apple tree is a deciduous tree from the rose family and is cultivated around the world as a fruit tree. It originated in Central Asia; its ancestor is the malus sieversii, which still grows today. Apple trees grew for thousands of years in Asia, as well as in Europe—the starting place of Apple Day—before being brought to North America by European colonists in the seventeenth century. They are possibly the oldest tree to have been cultivated. The only apples native to North America are crab apples. Reverend William Braxton of Boston planted the first apple orchard on the North American continent in 1625. Apples were cultivated on colonial farms and spread along Native American trade routes. Johnny Appleseed introduced apple trees to the western frontier. Today apple trees are prominent in Eastern Washington, where apples are their leading product, and more apples are grown there than any other state.

If grown by seed in the wild, an apple tree can tower up to 30 feet, but they are generally 6-15 feet in height when cultivated. The height of the cultivars depends on how they were grafted onto rootstocks. There are over 7,500 cultivars of apples, which are grown for various purposes such as eating raw, cooking, and cider making. Apple tree flowers blossom in the spring, and the leaves bud at this time as well. Flowers cluster in groups of four to six and the center flower is called the "king bloom." It opens first and can grow into larger fruit than the other flowers. The fruit is ready to pick by late summer or fall.

How to Observe Apple Day

The best way to celebrate the day may be to attend an Apple Day event, most of which take place in England. You could visit Covent Garden in London, where the first Apple Day was held. One of the other best ways to celebrate the day may be to try as many different varieties of fresh apples as you can find, identifying them, and noting the differences and qualities each has.

Besides eating fresh apples, you could celebrate by eating apples in some of their many other forms as well. Have some cider or apple juice; treat your sweet tooth to apple dumplings, apple pie, apple cake, or a caramel apple; and find a use for apple cider vinegar. There are so many ways you could enjoy apples. Not only could you eat them, but you could plant an apple tree. Plant a cutting, or get a tree from a nursery.

As the heart of the day is about finding ways to connect with others and nature in your own community, the day can even be celebrated without apples. You could spend the day at any sort of community event, or by doing something to improve the place you call home. You could support small local businesses, join the committee for an annual festival, or work with others to clean up parks and waterfronts.

sometimes I'm like "oh no what if I don't get hired as a substitute teacher once I'm 21" and then my brother casually tells me that they're having regular teachers sub for other teachers because they don't have enough subs. and that this happens "all the time" and I'm like. oh yeah they need me more than I need them. ha.

#I have to be 21 to qualify to be a sub in this district since I don't have a degree #but I will be 21 in under a month :) #really looking forward to it I think it'll be a really good fit for me. entry level job that pays more than minimum wage #is flexible and allows me to sit down while I work #plus it's so in demand I'll probably get as many hours as I want #plus plus I'll get to see some of my old teachers again <3 some of them sucked but some of them were really great

My very last comic for The Nib! End of an era! Transcription below the cut. instagram / patreon / portfolio / etsy / my book / redbubble

The first event I went to with GENDER QUEER was in NYC in 2019 at the Javits Center.

So many of the people who came to my signing were librarians, and so many of them said the same thing: "I know exactly who I want to give this to!" Maia: "Thank you for helping readers find my book!" While working on the book, I was genuinely unsure if anyone outside of my family and close friends would read it. But the early support of librarians and two American Library Association awards helped sell two print runs in first year.

Since then, GENDER QUEER been published in 8 languages, with more on the way: Spanish, Czech, Polish, French, Italian, Norwegian, Portugese and Dutch.

It has also been the most banned book in the United States for the past two years. The American Library Association has tracked an astronomical increase in book challenges over the past few years. Most of these challenges are to books with diverse characters and LGBTQ themes. These challenges are coming unevenly across the US, in a pattern that mirrors the legislative attacks on LGBTQ people. The Brooklyn Public Library offered free eCards to anyone in the US aged 13-21, in an effort to make banned books more available to young readers. A teacher in Norman, Oklahoma gave her students the QR code for the free eCard and lost her job. Summer Boismeir is now working for the Brooklyn Public Library. Hoopla and Libby/Overdrive, apps used to access digital library books, are now banned in Mississippi to anyone under 18. Some libraries won’t allow anyone under 18 to get any kind of library card without parental permission. When librarians in Jamestown, Michigan refused to remove GENDER QUEER and several other books, the citizens of the town voted down the library’s funding in the fall 2022 election. Without funding, the library is due to close in mid-2024. My first event since covid hit was the American Library Association conference in June 2022 in Washington, DC. Once again, the librarians in my signing line all had similar stories for me: “Your book was challenged in our district" "It was returned to the shelf!" "It was removed from the shelf..." "It was moved to the adult section."

Over and over I said: "Thank you. Thank you for working so hard to keep my book in your library. I’m sorry you had to defend it, but thank you for trying, even if it didn't work." We are at a crossroads of freedom of speech and censorship. The future of libraries, both publicly funded and in schools, are at stake. This is massively impacting the daily lives of librarians, teachers, students, booksellers, and authors around the country. In May 2023, I read an article from the Washington Post analyzing nearly 1000 of the book challenges from the 2021-2022 school year. I was literally on route to a festival to talk about book bans when I read a startling statistic. 60% of the 1000 book challenges were submitted by just 11 people. One man alone was responsible for 92 challenges. These 11 people seem to have made submitting copy-cat book challenges their full-time hobby and their opinions are having an outsized ripple effect across the nation. WE NEED TO MAKE THE VOICES SUPPORTING DIVERSE BOOKS AND OPPOSING BOOK BANS EVEN LOUDER. If you are able too, show up for your library and school board meetings when book challenges are debated. Send supportive comments and emails about the Pride book display and Drag Queen story hours. If you see a display you like– for Banned Book Week, AAPI Month, Black History Month, Disability Awareness Month, Jewish holidays, Trans Day of Remembrance– compliment a librarian! Make sure they feel the love stronger than the hate <3

#spinach 12/21 23 #she sent me the article to read along with a few screenshots of the comments section on the website #every trans teacher at that highschool has lost their job within a year of coming out #i remember a band teacher being openly trans(even if he was a dick i think he outed someone to their parents) #but that guy no longer had a job the next year so im just concerned that this lovely lady wont have a job this coming spring #im certain the school district for the area i live in will fire her

Patient and Gentle Persuasion

Have you ever had someone in your life who is so doggone sweet, kind, and gentle that you wanted to hang with them so that some of that ooey, gooiness of them would rub off on you? I have – and I am still working on the “rub”! And, then, you find out what that person does for a living, and you wonder “How in the world did they end up with a job like that?” I watched the show, “Tough as Nails”…
