11 years ago, we built our wedding reception around Home—love, laughter, framed memories, and hope. 💍🏡 That joy still lives in me today. May our right to marry never be taken away. 💙

✨ Flashback Friday ✨

Strolling through my fave spot—@Spain 🇪🇸💕 This throwback is from 2013 in Salamanca, with its stunning golden streets and timeless vibe.

Getting lost in a dreamy city together is pure magic! ✨❤️

Stepping off the train at Copenhagen Central, I instantly felt welcome. Visiting during #PrideWeek was a gift—this city radiates joy. In summer, Copenhageners sunbathe on every surface & move easily by bus, train, or water taxi. Always outside, always alive. 🌈✨

Run Redefines Family and Privilege. What does it mean to run—to race, to campaign, to escape? This story weaves family, privilege, and race into a gut-punch narrative that lingers long after the last page.

Stockholm captured my heart! 💙 From friendly faces to a stunning mix of old and new architecture, I felt inspired everywhere. Getting around was a breeze—walking, boating, or zooming through the metro. And the food? Top-notch! Swipe to vibe with me!

It doesn’t take much to make me feel safe—a gesture, a simple kindness, a colorful flag. 🌈 In Oslo, I found all three.
Hand in hand with Tanya, we wandered without a second thought, in a country that’s led the way in LGBTQ rights since 1972. #LoveBelongsHere #OsloPride #LGBTQTravel

A Dystopia That Feels Too Close to Home - Cris Communicates An exploration of "The Handmaid’s Tale," examining its 1980s roots and the unsettling relevance it holds in modern America.

Margaret Atwood didn’t predict the future.
She remembered the past.
The Handmaid’s Tale is more than dystopian—it’s disturbingly close to home.

Atmosphere is a love story wrapped in silence and science.
Joan and Vanessa loved in secret—because they had to.
This is why Pride matters. Why visibility is survival.

These firings aren’t just bureaucratic moves—they’re a threat to writers, artists, librarians, and anyone who believes in intellectual freedom. We need to speak up before AI and corporate power rewrite the rules of creativity without us.

Trump administration fires top copyright official days after firing Librarian of Congress The Trump administration has fired the nation’s top copyright official, Shira Perlmutter. The move comes days after the abrupt termination of the head of the Library of Congress, which oversees the U....

The president fired the heads of the Copyright Office & Library of Congress—for defending human creativity & access to diverse books. As a queer author, I’m alarmed. Big Tech is training AI on stolen work, and silencing anyone who objects. This is corporate capture of culture.

Congrats on your Goldie Nom!
