First minutes home from a family vacation and my daughter manages to drop the bag containing my laptop…. Don’t worry, the laptop broke its fall.

Took a whole hour to rewrite a single scene. I do not enjoy editing.

If you’re wondering why you seek out LGBTQ artists, shows, authors, and more. It’s so you replace that feeling of sadness with hope. You are not alone. We are with you.

Immobile, the fear diffused to every part of his body. He was stuck, unable to move and powerless to free himself. The system, it acted like a net of rules, regulations, and laws that trapped him there, offering no escape.
This was not the future he had wished.
This was America.

In Germany over 200,000 protestors in Munich gathered against the Musk backed far-right / neo-Nazi AfD ahead of the German election.

Thousands chanted "Save Democracy" and "Oppose Nazis" #3E

The skin on my arm goose-pimpled, each hair rising to escape the scene around me. It nagged at me. The friends & family laughing around the table, glasses clinking, delicious aromas wafting. A creak, barely audible below the room's din. My eyes dilated & shouting, I lunged forward.

Euphoric sound waves & crowd vibes washed over me, drowning my sadness with every hammer beat of the bass. Steadily, my heart lightened & my spirits lifted. I could do this. We could survive this. If we could harvest the collective power, we could fix the world with love & music.

The frozen snow crunches underfoot. Brisk air fills my lungs & stings my nostrils. I'm grateful for the silence in the woods. Nothing stirs. Before me, a wonder of white, brown, & sparse wintergreen. The cold settled. I walked numbly. Soon, only my breath and dreams will remain. #vss365 #hbp87

"What's that?"
"Oh, don't worry none."
We moved quietly through the night, afraid to bring forest brigands upon us. Then it echoed around us. I jumped.
"That's just the merry band of outlaws. They sing nightly in caves for an added effect."
"Well, those harmonies are just criminal."
Place: A cave den for criminals. #hbp86

We sat huddled willing the heater to give more warmth. Layers upon layers, we wore, hoping the insulation would help. We had done everything the landlord had asked:
corn-yellow hair, cow as white as milk, bloodred cape, & a golden slipper. What else did the witch want?
Concept: Jumping through hoops to get the heating fixed. #hbp85

I think it’s more important than ever in the US to know that you belong. If you need a gauntie, mom, big sis, or friend. This is a safe space.

#hbp83 True story #vss365
Laughter and chatter floated to the top of the stairwell, whispers of wishes and desires from the teenagers far below. Drinks and music had been left behind for the quiet of the roof overlooking the city.
"The view here is beautiful," she said.
A sweet kiss, her answer.
Prose/dialogue: “Party in the stairwell.” #hbp83
