Totally true. And, also, though I wouldn't have "agreed" that I was queer, I would have been proud of all I've overcome to get to where I am in love, work, and family in general. So, my younger self would have been very conflicted.
My current self is so unconflicted that I relish every day.

It's big everywhere, including here in the PNW. They really do get outta touch with people in their DC bubble!
my beef with so many centrist democrats is honestly less their ideology than their total lack of political instincts. the actual public is going wild with epstein speculation and this anonymous idiot is skeptical that it is playing outside of washington www.axios.com/2025/07/24/j...
"This whole thing is just such bulls**t": Not every Democrat wants to talk about Epstein
"I don't think this issue is big outside the Beltway," one prominent centrist House Democrat told Axios.

They demonized him in life. Now they want to desecrate his legacy to distract from Epstein. Shameless.

My wife.
We had a shared affinity for Andreas work before we knew each other. I got to see AG live three times. Their poetry got to me on a deep level as I was figuring out I was queer. What a journey for me watching their journey.
Their journey into love is complete now.

Never imagined my first post would be a memorial. My heart is broken, and specifically broken open, at the tremendous loss to our living community, and celebration of the universe, of the passing of Andrea Gibson. They taught me more about love, presence, and being human than anyone else.

I was with my stepkid the other day at a used car lot and they had Fox News on. (I may have uttered, "Oh gawd...," when I walked in.) When my kid said, "They found aliens??!" (a term shown on the screen with footage of farm raids), I explained that some people use that term, but they are PEOPLE.
We need to keep calling out what's happening to migrants across America. This cruel deportation effort isn't just wrong, it violates the fundamental norms our country was built on. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
