Gender is a spectrum from just wanting have fun to being back in town, and to varying degrees, each of us contains attributes of both, which is a beautiful thing

When I first met my husband, he had two groups of friends: his college pals & his music friends. Music friends called him by his given name. College friends mostly used a nickname. I asked.

The folks who used his preferred name are mostly still friends. The ones who deliberately resisted aren't.

I only like going to the super popular bbq joints so that I can take home a half pound of leftover brisket and make hash with it a couple days later.

You might not think you needed to see Kate Bush dressed as a bat today, but you were wrong.

Solid reporting by Texas Observer:
Small lakes in East Texas are being filled in with petrochemical-laced drilling mud, classified in Texas as "non-toxic" meaning mitigation to prevent spill-off is minimal.

What they can't say is that the elected Texas Railroad Commissioners are probably profiting.

The Texas Railroad Commission Is A β€˜Captive Agency’ It’s long been an open secret that Texas’ oil and gas regulators are friendly to the industry. A new series of reports shows just how deep their ties go.

The Texas Railroad Commission, which regulates the oil & gas industry, is a textbook case of regulatory capture, with dark oil money buying elections to ensure permits are granted, violations aren't punished.

And the health of Texans suffers.

They are literally firing all the judges they think might grant relief. They just fired a friend of mine a couple hours ago. They have no shame. The bastards want an assembly line for deportations and nothing more; rubber-stamping bootlickers who’ll yes’sir at every new diktat to deny.
