Hello world! A little bit about me:
In 2010, I quit my job as a graphic designer in Boston and traveled the world for 15 months before moving to #Berlin, Germany. Lived there another 7 years working as a full-time #gaytravel blogger and travel writer before making the move to #Brooklyn, NY in 2018.

NEW: On Friday, the Texas Supreme Court made a comment on the state judicial code of conduct that says judges who refuse to conduct gay weddings "on a sincerely held religious belief" won't be sanctioned. It's part of a messy legal fight over gay marriage in Texas.

Travel is one of life’s greatest joys, but for many LGBTQ+ professionals in their 30s and 40s—especially those living in high-cost big cities like NYC—it can sometimes feel like a luxury that clashes with long-term financial goals.

It’s Jew vs. Jew in the fight over a Brooklyn bike lane
Ever since Williamsburg began to gentrify, there’s been a cultural clash between, as many a headline has put it, hipsters and Hasids. And at the heart of it, since 2010, has been a bike lane. Anyone w...

Turning into a single issue voter for 2028, where the issue is which Democratic candidate will vow to nominate the most rabidly partisan, vengeful and hate-filled AG you can possibly imagine

If you listen to the actual audio, it's very clear that she didn't misspeak. She was told she was wrong, but she refused to listen and continued to double and triple down.
The least she can do is apologize and endorse the Democratic nominee even though he's Muslim. Whether she will is unclear.

Update: Following public backlash, Gillibrand says she “misspoke” when accusing Zohran Mamdani of supporting “global jihad.”

They have made the world living hell for no reason whatsoever. People will ask why this happened in a decade and there will be tremendous effort to make it more complicated than “they were evil, stupid, and bored”

Yet another elected Democratic official violently arrested and detained by Trump’s ICE Gestapo.
This isn’t frog in boiling water.
This fascism is happening quickly, clearly, brazenly.

It is actually nuts that even when the NYC political establishment was presented with a broad field of talented candidates w/ many ideas, in a time of generational change & anti-corruption, they STILL chose to line up behind scandal-ridden Andrew Cuomo.
It’s cowardice.

you show signs of wanting to change the party for the better and they oust you, this party has learned absolutely nothing from 2016, from 2020, and from 2024 and never will

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.
