It would be easier if we had a Congressional inquiry on what Justice Thomas *has* paid for out of pocket.

Husband: “I can confirm that we are too old to drink 3 martinis in one night.” Me: “No shit. That’s why I only had two. You went on that journey of discovery alone.”

I had six security personnel to protect me and the crowd at this book launch event. The previous night, I had five. This was needed for everyone’s safety. Trans people are not safe in this current climate, and as much as I talk about the good stuff, we can’t ignore the bad stuff either.

The smell of making your coffee in your coffee maker the first morning home after travelling. So good.

Wearing a mask these days sure gets me a lot of people asking “are you sick?” I wish there were a succinct (and non-argumentative) way of saying, “no, I’m just unusually dedicated to, you know… the opposite of that”

If your parents can't accept your gender or sexuality, they are failing you - you are not failing them. A parent's job is to help our children become the best version of themselves, not the version we might expect them to be. You are not flawed, beautiful soul. You. are. just. right.

Jews have been warned there is a day planned for antisemitic attacks on the global Jewish community. Do not turn away. Do not shrug it off. This is when Palestinians and Israelis, Muslims and Jews, EVERYONE should come together to denounce ALL violence. Work toward peace.

If you’re queer and you have some joy in your life, share that shit. There’s so much that is awful and scary in this world right now and much of it is aimed directly at us. Demonstrate hope. Demonstrate light. People in our community need to see it.

Downloading the first section of the shawl for #WestknitsMKAL2023 and wondering what I've got myself into! The first section looks stunning and I hope I can do it justice.

My accounting software takes just long enough to connect to my bank that my attention wanders and it times out before I pay attention again. I am personally attacked.
