I quit using Amazon months ago, but my annual Prime membership is just ending now. When they wrote to remind me to renew, I wrote back to explain why I wouldn’t. My message, of course, bounced back (as I was directed to their customer-service page. So will share here instead :)
Letter to Amazon explaining why I’m leaving as a customer.

I was looking for alternative program for tonight. But this is not the escape I needed.

68, however, is looking pretty shitty. (see tweet thread below). As a former editor in chief of The Advocate, I rescind this 2011 cover because there is no LGB without T. 🏳️‍⚧️

While Matt's story has been removed from the White House website (for now), his name is carved into the stone of the Washington National Cathedral. It's an honor that another (whose name isn't even worth mentioning) would never be worthy. www.them.us/story/trump-...

In case anybody wants to join me: cathedral.org. Also a reminder that the Cathedral, which is the final resting place of Matthew Shepard, has long been our side.

And? Who needs AI when coverage of this upcoming administration pretty much writes itself in a Mad Libs fashion: Fill in atrocious subject, verb, adjective, adverb, and voila!

I woke up to these roosters (in Playa Zipolite) that, I assume, are crowing because they're not turkeys.

10 years ago, I felt incredibly helpless as I watched the craziness unfold in Ferguson, Mo. And, at the suggestion of someone on social media, I made a $25 donation to the local library. (1/4)

As reported by National Geographic: “In 1965, teenager Robin Lee Graham set off for a round-the-world sailing trip, a multi-year journey covered in National Geographic. While he was known as the boy who sailed the world alone, he did have a companion: a cat.”
