I really want this place to better than the last one
It felt like a steal to find this used for $4. A perfect distillation of the power of dance music.

When Jimmy Carter ran for reelection in 1980, he was the first Democrat to endorse a gay rights plank in the party’s platform. I sometimes think about how differently the early days of the AIDS epidemic would have been handled had he been reelected. qvoicenews.com/2023/02/19/j...
Jimmy Carter has been longtime LGBTQ ally

I’ve always felt out of step with dance music but this album grabbed me. It’s fun, deep, and so fucking good. Ear worm melodies, great beats, and Kylie Minogue. More please

What I thought would kill me, by age:

0-20: Russian nuke
20-30: AIDS
30-50: Terrorists
50-present: the people who copied off me in high school.

Shame is a prison. Most of us have felt it, some of us have lived it. There is no prescribed path through it. For me it was therapy, aging, and going to a clothing-optional campground. It feels as important as coming out did, decades ago. Good luck on your journey. You are here and you belong.

I went to a concert on a school night! Had to put on a shirt and hard pants but it was worth it. I may not think so tomorrow when I’m supposed to be working. It’s late but I’m still not sleepy.

The single best and hardest thing I’ve learned having a parent with dementia is to meet them where they are. This is my sister putting that into action.

Hey. Married queers. Get wills/power of attorney drawn up. If Obergefell falls, you'll need it.

I say this as a widower whose husband died pre-Obergefell. (We married in MA in '04.) Having this documentation in place took one minor stressor away from an extremely horrible situation.
