My mom, recounting watching the Rose Parade on tv: and your mayor was there
Me: Victor Gordo?
Mom: yes, I was surprised he wasn’t wearing any rain gear
Me: Victor Mojado

I love LA because we will be like “we have Times Square at home” and it’s just hundreds of people watching a billboard of smoking deaths reset to zero

2025 is ending with the kind of rain that would have prevented the fires that 2025 started with.

I got this lovely book for Christmas this year and it has a whole section on Gals Being Pals!
![Picture this: you're walking around a museum and you see an image of two people, perhaps a man and a woman. They are sitting near each other, but their body language suggests they are, at best, indifferent to one another.
The scene is entitled The Lovers. You move on. So what?
You come to another image of two people.
This time they are the same gender. Perhaps they are two women. They are entwined with one another, or perhaps holding hands, or sharing a warm embrace. Perhaps the image is more abstract and you can only make out a mess of intertwining limbs. The image is called The Friends or maybe The Compan-ions. The label goes on at length to explain how we could not possibly know the relationship between these two women. Who knows what kissing, cuddling, and holding hands could possibly signify?!
Museums are still hesitant to talk about same-sex attraction. Some are getting better and more confident with the topic, but in many cases the histories of LGBTQIA+ people from the past are only spoken of thanks to the efforts of particularly enthusiastic staff and volunteers who feel empowered to share it. Even then, these stories are usually only brought to the fore during LGBTQIA+ History Month or Pride season rather than being shared throughout the year.
"They're just good friends!!!" is the exclamation we've heard over and over again when we see overwhelmingly queer-flavored works of art in museums, but the curator/the institu-tion/the manager who's just a little bit… [trails off to next page]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6ce434323xvm2sglfgeueawc/bafkreiaengnv3x6he6am3ty42gcxzzts6zyux5ehjjeyntv7bbcp2jruby@jpeg)

During the 2012 NH presidential primary RuPaul visited my hometown with little notice. The reason he gave the small crowd gathered semi-spontaneously outside the Red Arrow Diner was to say that “I am NOT Ron Paul.”

I had to go refill a prescription in person during my lunch break and the number of people maskless at the PHARMACY during FLU SEASON makes me lose what little hope I had that we learned even one thing from the pandemic.

Was just shown an ad for Gemini where the entire premise was two parents going back and forth generating videos about how to best gaslight their child after their teddy bear was left on a plane. Just straight up brainstorming lies while burning down the rainforest

When I was a kid at Christmas we used to get in the mail hallacas y pasteles from my great aunt in Puerto Rico. The next generation didn’t pick up the tradition and now I don’t know how to make them either. It’s a weird kind of grief to be more and more removed from your culture with age.

Beautiful art is actually quite common and that’s good. But to be able to make beautiful art on the scale and scope of a show like Pluribus is rare and I’m so happy my friends have been able to achieve that. I will be counting down the days to season 2!!

2025 has given us the worst of humanity and also sometimes the best
It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.
