Hello, reader. How are you doing? Yesterday I met the mayor at an art show. I had three pieces in the art show, and I was glad to be part of the whole experience. This morning I wrote a letter to the mayor because today is a Transgender Day she declared. I thought you might… Read More »
Hello, reader. Do you know how to argue? My good friend broke up with their partner. Listening to how it went toward the end, I wondered about the communication skills. “Did you never learn how to argue?” I asked. “We never argued,” my friend quietly said. “Wow,” I said. “I see how that would be… Read More »

“Wow!” I said to Ming. “Can you imagine coming out once?” Hey, reader. How are you? Have you come out, and if so, how many times? I can’t even count mine on my hands. I was reading little bios of the board of a local org, and I read about the years that two board… Read More »
Just in case you forgot how beautiful Ming is, here’s a picture of him in bed. He was sleeping good, and his armpit is nice. His beautiful brown hand, his dark elbow, his smooth chest, his serious sleep expression as he moved through dream world. You’re welcome. Feeling grateful for all he does and is. … Read More »
Hello, reader. How are you? Are you friends with any TERFs? TERFs are trans-exclusionary radical feminists. That’s the acronym. In my experience they’re old lesbians who are cranky about gender.
