On the shores of Lake Michigan this weekend, we said goodbye to Alexandra "Hoon" Calhoon and Bjarne "Colserra" van den Bogard, two people we are grateful to have had the chance to love. They are so deeply missed.

🎬 Queercraft Movie Night: September Picks! 🎬 We're celebrating Dolly Parton with a double feature marking the start of her film career! Catch her iconic debut in 9 to 5 (1980) then her lead role in The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas (1982). September 6th: queercraft.net/discord 👢🦋🎶

I'll get there - maybe our gathering later today will help, maybe it won't. Back to denial for a bit, I think. The reality is too much to bear.

I keep waiting for a message from him letting me know that there was a big misunderstanding and he's so sorry to have worried us. Or to find out this was a cruel prank from others who somehow kept him from contacting us. Both of those are more believable than him being truly gone.

We said goodbye to @colserra.dev tonight on @queercraft.net. I still can't quite get myself to believe it. One minute it feels real and I'm angry at the universe, the next minute I'm sad, and then I spend most of the time in complete denial struggling to believe it's real. 🧵

It's official 🥳 Income Tax Fairness is on the ballot! Right now in Colorado, a nurse or teacher making $50K pays the same rate as a millionaire or giant corporation. Under Initiative 195, 97% of taxpayers get a tax cut, & no one under $500K pays a penny more. #copolitics @protectcofuture.bsky.social

Of course! Firefox on mobile is excellent too. Unfortunately the browser world has been consumed by Chromium, including Edge, Opera, Brave (dirtbag CEO), Vivaldi, etc. We're unfortunately in danger of Google deciding what the internet is, and fuck that.

Appreciate you taking these steps. Please know that Opera uses Chromium these days, the base of Chrome. If you want a truly independent, nonprofit browser, use Firefox.

"There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness but of power. They are messengers of overwhelming grief and unspeakable love." – Washington Irving Saw this commented on a Dolly Parton video and found it comforting. 🦋 💛

Finally made a donation, and I don't know why I didn't expect the sweet note, but there it was. 🦋 I hope many more generations to come know Dolly as the book lady.

Beau,

Thank you so much for your monetary gift to support my Imagination Library. This program is so special to me and I am thrilled that it is special to you, too. My Daddy was the inspiration for the Imagination Library and he told me many times that out of all of the dreams I had fulfilled, this program was the one thing that made him the most proud of me!

Your generosity will help us continue to grow this program so that we can gift books to more children to inspire a love of reading. We have surpassed over 2 million children receiving books each month but we have dreams to do more!

Your support will help give those dreams wings, along with the generous help from our local partners who manage the program and raise funds to support it in communities around the world. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Together we are going to keep dreaming and keep growing!

Love,
Dolly

God, what a beautiful person.

Dear Imagination Library Graduate,
My, how time flies. It seems it was only yesterday when your family and friends read you your first story. You were just a baby. Now you're five years old and about to go to school. How exciting!
This may be your last book from my Imagination Library but you have to promise me you will keep on reading. If you go to your local public library you will find a great number of books just for kids your age. Every book is a treasure and every time you open one up you will meet new friends and take wonderful journeys to magical places.
I hope you have a great time in school. I bet your school will even have a library where you can check out books. You and all of your friends are very special. There is no limit to what you can do or how far you can go.
Just remember the lessons my family taught me - dream big dreams; learn everything you can learn; and care for all those who care for you. You do all of these things and you can be anyone you want to be.
You are terrific, and remember...
I Will Always Love You,
Dolly

Colorado Gov Jared Polis (D) released Tina Peters, saying she was remorseful despite obvious evidence to the contrary. “I do show remorse,” Peters said today. “The remorse is that people that should be in prison are not. That's my remorse.”

What can even be said that isn't said every day by millions of people? Israel, at this stage, is a terrorist state. They have become the very thing they wish to destroy. This isn't a hot take, the evidence is there for us all to see.

Jimmy Burrows died?! Damn. Just watched him on The Comeback a few weeks ago. This man brought us Cheers and directed shows like The Bob Newhart Show, Frasier, Will & Grace, and Taxi, among others. A TV giant.

So much work. Yesterday they were finally ready to be moved outside. Today a crazy hailstorm came through the Denver metro and all of my plants were wiped out. Discouraged, but glad I wasn't home for my 5-month old car to also take a beating. I will assess tomorrow and decide what to do.

Many of my friends know that I grew a balcony vegetable garden last year and had great success. This year I decided to start from seed (indoors) to save money. I've nursed these little bastards for weeks and weeks. Grow light, starter trays & mix, heating pad, outside and in to harden them off. 🧵
