Please pray for the Holy Father #PopeFrancis. As a young gay Catholic, this man has loved and accepted those like me, reaffirming our dignity in an institution that too often pushes us away. He has been an outspoken advocate for the poor, vulnerable, and marginalized. Todos todos todos!

This AM I have re-posted stories from WaPo, the NYT and NPR. The NYT story has multiple bylines and is a thorough factual debunking of an official government communication.

You can argue about headlines and stay mad about past errors or you can realize institutional journalists are doing the work.

One of my #NewYearsResolutions is to start listening to radio and podcasts again. After the election, I cut it all out, cold turkey. I noticed, tho, the negative effect on my psyche. I loved my shows - science, news, and especially comedy. Now I’ve processed it enough to be engaged, so I’m back!
