Oof, yeah, the pricing algorithm is wild. I go back down to NYC regularly for work, but I know my travel dates months in advance. My next trip is in a couple of weeks, but I booked back in November and got a $60 round trip from Providence.
Trump fired Kristi Noem.
What looks like a MAGA Civil War is less a crisis and more the system working as designed.

My 1-sentence take on Pillion: Less of a "Dom-Com" and more of a "BDSM Bildungsroman" that proves the hardest thing to submit to is a healthy relationship. #Pilion #Gay #film
It is now February 28 in Taiwan—one of the most significant dates in modern Taiwanese history.
First and foremost, 228 is associated with the February 28 Massacre in 1947. Contrary to a common myth, it's not just one date, just one incident, or even just in Taiwan.

Can #design ever truly be "universal?"
Reflecting on the passing of Jean Widmer, the architect of the Pompidou's visual identity.
I’m sitting with the tension between that beautiful aspiration and the reality of whose standards we canonize.

❄️ The New England snow forecast keeps changing, but the chances are high for bisexual mischief 💕💙💜
🎶 🧱 “Everybody pick up a brick, through thick and thin…coming together is how we win” 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️I wrote this #protestsong when I found out that the regime ordered the Pride flag removed at #Stonewall. “Louder and prouder we won’t be erased.”

Just enjoyed a $10 single origin matcha drink while the Gen Z baristas vibe to Fleetwood Mac. I ❤️ NY
🎶 New song coming soon🌈
Hubby’s at a work thing, and I’m clearing out the fridge before my own business trip. My Lunar New Year "spread" consists of whatever I found in there, which turned out to be steak and fettuccine. Not exactly traditional, but definitely beats mediocre takeout. 🥩🍝✨🧧🐴
I just finished writing another protest song, this one about the renewed struggle centered around Stonewall 🌈
RIP James Van Der Beek
「台灣肉粽」翻成「Taiwanese Brand Rice Pudding」？ 🤢 These are Taiwanese savory sticky rice dumplings filled with pork and other savory bits that I got from an online Asian market. I’ve also described them as Taiwanese rice tamales. But I have no idea why they are labeled as “rice pudding” here. 🤷🏻♂️ #Taiwan

The queer trekkies all want to see that blond twink from the rival school get his photon torpedo tubes loaded up by the Klingon, right? #StarTrek
I think a huge part of why Heated Rivalry resonates with straight women is that it grants social permission to be overtly horny on main.
By offering a window beyond heteronormative gender roles, queer stories become liberatory spaces for straight people, too.
So who should I contact at SAG-AFTRA and Actors’ Equity about their racist member, Gregg Lichtenson? Also, if you are going to send racist insults to strangers online, you are going to have to be a little more specific. I’ve got many things wrong with me, but I’m certainly not shutting up. #racism
And here it is, my new #protestsong, "Bootlicker."

❄️ My ruler maxed out at 12 inches, so we definitely got more than a foot of snow ❄️
Snow and ice outside, curry and antifascist comics inside
🎶 I wrote my very first protest song: All Hail The King! 👑 youtube.com/shorts/iKW7g... #NewMusic #ProtestSong #FolkMusic
I'm not one for false optimism. But what I witnessed today in Minneapolis was tremendous, both in scale and exuberance. It was a stunning answer to the federal assault on Minnesota, a show of solidarity that gives us something to hold on to during times that are unforgiving.
