I'm bad at these intros, but I'm a middle-aged queer trans person who's spent years documenting my community through photography, I've been known to write a comic book or two, occasionally experiment with ceramics, and currently also work as a therapist for queer and trans folk in California.

Well this is horrifying and heartbreaking in equal measure.

Aforementioned beastie. I raised her from a 5lb kitten who fit into my hand and she's my world. I'd do anything for her and I also know that everything won't be enough.

The hell we walk through to save an 11lb creature who's primary talent is licking her own asshole and causing me stress. And money, of course.

It's cool that our senate did a thing? Maybe? But also my cat is sick so that's basically all I can think about regardless of if the rest of the world is burning.

Love doesn't just sit there, like a stone, it has to be made, like bread; remade all the time, made new.

I guess it's good news that our passports will be valid until they expire, because that's a basic human right under what should be a reliable law. I guess.

the man has admitted to sexually assaulting people and was legally proven by a court of law to be sexually assaulting people (a notoriously hard thing to do) but I’m sure this new evidence that he was sexually assaulting people will really wake up the base. It’ll be our lucky sexual assault evidence

I love this website, have sent it to many young folk and adults as well, since so few of us had access to affirming, unbiased information about relationships, sexual health, and how to grow healthier relationships with our own bodies as we explore our wants and needs.

The way they immediately tried to silence the press says it all.
that this happened at a healthcare event is just A+, no notes
holy shit -- one of Trump's toadies just passed out and the White House event is brought to an abrupt end

All this is true, plus he paved the way for the insane assholes currently destroying our country and the planet. What a legacy.
In all seriousness, Dick Cheney made the world worse in a way few other human beings can claim. Millions are dead because of his greed and ambition. The Middle East was torn apart over lies he authored and championed. At least he can't do it again.

If you'd told me even a few years ago that I'd be part of this lovely and welcoming group of queer folk, and learning line dances in the dust I wouldn't have believed it. You're truly never too old to learn new skillz!
