Funny because I was just watching this interview with Baldwin talking about how, as he grows older, he knows less and less about human nature and how it is a "great relief." I hear that loud and clear.

Conversation with a Native Son: Maya Angelou and James Baldwin

"All I know about human life is, if I love you - I love you. And if I love you and duck it, I die."
The more I read and listen to Baldwin the more convinced I get that he might have been one of the greatest minds and souls to walk the earth in living memory.

Jay will forgive me but I assume he also has stories from the days of being lucky enough to fall in with the theater kids, and will not be mad at me for mine.

Actually the girls I was most interested in were also part of that queer crowd…which sometimes posed other complications, as you might imagine

I was talking with a friend my age not long ago about how she received the largest amount of male interest from older men when she was ~8 years old to around 19 or so.
At least a couple of them--from church, mind you--said she was "worth the risk with law enforcement". She wasn't safe at church.

I want people to understand that in my youth, a youth that happened somewhere between the youth of Epstein, Trump, Maxwell, ex-Prince Andrew, et al & that of their victims, the term "jail bait" was framed as a compliment.

I heard someone say that wages can't be decreased too far because of The Iron Law Of Wages, which is a article of faith. In a system that rewards owners who find ways to reduce labor costs, the perfect model, in terms of profit, is one in which workers are not paid at all. 1/?
Talking with someone the other day who says "aren't you worried about Zohran" and I'm like aye, free buses, next stop is you and me working under gunpoint at the Collective Beet Farm Number 7 in Red Hook, calm the fuck down FFS
Some people out there demand that anyone who claims that Marx had it right present a fully working model of what society ought to look like. As opposed to the one we have now, that even Trump voters hate. Let's start with universal Healthcare and a progressive tax system for now, see how it goes.

She stopped seeing you as "her man" because you stopped acting like one.
Here's how to make her wet for you again and reclaim your throne in 30 days

Michael will be angry with me but I have seen dudes my age wearing Busenitz, sometimes as a part of a clearly highly coordinated ensemble in pastel and or earth tones. I am not mad at this!
But AFAIC (which is all that matters) all you Silver Foxes are trying too hard with these shoes.

Agree.
