The Fresno County Board of Supervisors (CA) will decide today whether or not the library can participate in Pride events this year. The library and Board have battled over this for years. Taxpayer money, blah blah blah, as if queer people aren't taxpayers. abc30.com/post/fresno-...

I very rarely require or need outside affirmation on things I write. But today I received some positive feedback at the exact right time. (Not from swole Jesus. )

Minnesota’s flags will fly at half staff in honor and remembrance of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman. She woke up every morning determined to make Minnesota a better place, and she will be greatly missed.

I am writing a literary novel about what happens when the sacred becomes a commodity. It's weird. Like really weird. But this is the first time I've felt urgency in my writing since my mom died. GIF is an unrequested clue to the story.

Update: Nietzsche was well received by some, aggressively denied by a few, and revelatory for a few more—as it should be.

At least we’re discoursing about whether jokes about the UHC CEO are appropriate rather than discoursing about whether jokes about St. Nicholas punching Arius are appropriate. (They’re basically the same discourse.) ⚓️
