Bob Mackie is responsible for one of my fondest memories as a TV kid. Leaving the curtain rod in the dress was genius and it still makes me laugh.

Apparently, my hometown is under water but thanks to the state of corporate journalism, the "local" newspaper is totally behind a paywall and coverage from the nearest large market is spotty at best. So it's all citizen reporters on social media platforms that I'm not on.

I serendipitously ended up reading back to back two novels about aging gay men in mid-century Los Angeles. "Father of Frankenstein" by Christopher Bram and "A Single Man" by Christopher Isherwood. Both excellent and good companions to read together.

My very thoughtful husband, @eldertwizard.bsky.social, bought me a collector's edition of The Magnificent Ambersons by Booth Tarkington after I saw it in a bookstore and regretted not getting it. Though it was published in 1918, it feels contemporary. A favorite passage in the comments.
The book, the Magnificent Ambersons by Booth Tarkington. This edition has a green leather cover with a stylized letter A embossed in gold.

What the powerful and nationalistic call "Christianity" is so far from the teachings of Jesus, and they know it—because those teachings, if we truly heard them, would try to do now what they tried to do in Christ's time: dismantle a soulless empire and build a new world based on compassion for the outcasts, hope for the despairing, and such a release from fear and false leaders that the powerless would answer only to Love.

This is correct. Any candidate cynically “triangulating” on trans kids is a non-starter, and now is the time to say so. There’s still so much time to advance candidates that DON’T suck.

Another Fawcett house ad from 1945.
"Let's Go With Capt. Marvel Jr.!!" Underneath those words, there is an image of Jr. flying, and under that it says "Don't forget he is now in his own magazine - Capt. Marvel Jr. Comics." At the bottom, Freddy Freeman is shouting "Extra! Extra! Four smashing stories all about Capt. Marvel Jr.! 68 thrilling pages! On sale every month!"

Yeah my job is pretty cool. My uniform is a tactical vest that’s two sizes too small and a gaiter I bought in a gas station. They send me to sneak into schools to kidnap little kids because people got mad about having to press 1 for English. The president had to warn everyone to stop spitting on me.

This takes my breath away with its truth.
"There is no safe investment. To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly be broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket—safe, dark, motionless, airless—it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. The alternative to tragedy, or at least to the risk of tragedy, is damnation. The only place outside Heaven where you can be perfectly safe from all the dangers and perturbations of love is Hell."

This has to be satire that someone created to play to Trump's ego and get him to share it. The kid with the Trump balloon. Musk shoveling hummus into his face. The crossdressing belly dancers. Trump and Bebe SUNBATHING TOGETHER. Whoever created this and got him to share it is a subversive genius.
