Turns out a close male relative of mine sexually abused another relative of mine back in the seventies (and had gone unpunished). I only learned about this in the early aughts and I was blindsided, horrified, really there are no words to describe the degree to which I was shocked and sickened by the revelation. When I…

DAMN YOU, PARTY CULTURE

I’m from Massachusetts, where older folks have portraits of JFK hanging in their kitchens (and in, like, every fucking pub in the city). I didn’t get it for a long time until one day reading about President Obama and suddenly being all “Oh.” So I think I’m going to put a portrait of the President up in my kitchen, and…

One cannot give this enough stars.

Dear Mr. President, Thank you. I am going to miss you terribly. You done good sir. You handled the hate with immeasurable strength and dignity.
