After years of talking to Trump supporters my view of them has become very simple: They want socialist, even sometimes progressive reforms but they want them from someone who makes those reforms feel powerful and masculine and they want to make sure the people they don't like don't benefit from them

If we get through this, twenty or thirty years from now, I want to see those who participated in the scapegoating of trans people begging for forgiveness as they become utter pariahs.

I will not forget. I will not forgive. And I am going to survive just to spite all of you “good Germans”

For those who find the holidays difficult, I want you to know that I am thinking of you with great affection.

This Thanksgiving weekend is almost over, with just 48 hours left.

Think of how quickly time moved from Tuesday to Thursday.

This holiday will pass just as swiftly.

I’ve thought a lot about this sort of thing recently, as we’ve seen such a dramatic increase in the amount of homophobic and transphobic things being said and done publicly. Destabilizing is the right word. It makes you redraw the boundaries of where and who you thought were safe

Art drawn by people who very rarely make art and think they are “bad at art” is 1000x cooler than AI art. It’s life-affirming. It’s often unexpected. I cannot overemphasize how much I love when people just go for it. You do not need the machine for this human endeavor.

Adventure cats blaze new trails in Oregon’s great outdoors Felines are evolving from neighborhood prowlers to adventure partners — on forest trails and even on the water.

On hiking trails, snow-covered mountainsides and even out on the water, these felines are proving that not all domestic cats are content to simply watch the world from a windowsill.

The Two-Headed Calf by Laura Gilpin Tomorrow when the farm boys find this freak of nature, they will wrap his body in newspaper and carry him to the museum. But tonight he is alive and in the north field with his mother. It is a perfect summer evening: the moon rising over the orchard, the wind in the grass. And as he stares into the sky, there are twice as many stars as usual.

This poem does me in every single time.
