This was my dad 10 years ago, at about 70. Always take more pictures than you think you’ll need; really wish I had after the fact.

Got to have a bunch of tasty food over the weekend to celebrate.

Free slice of vanilla cake from Fresh Market

Strawberry sando (with cream in the style of Japan) from Kroger and Martinelli’s apple-mango cider

Peanut butter pie from Wegman’s (but not the kind my grandmother used to make)

Lobster roll, truffle fries, coleslaw, and apple juice from Burton’s Grill & Bar

Subscribed to Beasley when you started plugging it but haven’t seen your writing in a bit; hope you pop up again soon. Loving the podcast in the meantime!

Good morning!
Please Be Kind To Trans People 💜

screencap from the Harley Quinn show where Alysia Yeoh is driving a car and saying "It really helped me while I was transitioning"

comic panel of Alysia Yeoh with a defiant and happy look on her face

she's wearing a sexy looking black leather jacket (with amazing yellow shoulder and sleeve accents), holding a thin bat-style eye mask in one hand and a wooden baseball bat with the trans flag painted on it in the other, while saying:

"Please. I'm a trans woman in Gotham. OF COURSE I have a weapon."

Happy birthday to Jack Kirby.

Someone came from Kansas City MO to my former home county and joined “Moms for Liberty.” She is a horrible person. How do people like this get elected?

And this is why I’ll never not read your content; missing out on a lot from more mainstream sources.

Tudyk is going to have as many DCU roles as he does Disney animated ones before too long if his current pace continues.

Corenswet is Jewish? You’re literally the first person I’ve heard mention that despite it being integral to the character’s origin.

Been going back through QC and 2160 hit me a lot harder than I remember. Thanks for all the great art over the years; loving how expansive the plot and cast has gotten.

How is the world crumbling? When did “common sense” start meaning taking rights away from human beings?

As many issues as the US has at the moment, I will not be traveling to the United Kingdom anytime soon. It is not safe for me as a transgender woman. The UK can go fuck off. ==> UK Supreme Court says legal definition of ‘woman’ excludes trans women, in landmark ruling

The United Kingdom’s highest court ruled that the legal definition of “woman” excludes trans women, in a case with sweeping consequences for how equality laws are applied.

A new era of government censorship has begun.
It started with the silencing of scientific speech, when the admin blocked release of research on bird flu. But MAGA has also cracked down on other wrongthink—on race, geography (!), and of course Trump himself

Donald Trump fancies himself a champion of free speech. Oh, really?

How is everyone not being a tie broken by Vance? Every single pick is the most unqualified human since…the last time we dealt with DJT. I used to live in Florida; Rubio isn’t someone you want in charge of anything.

Ken Tremendous @kentremendous.bsky.social · Jan 29

Bro I did not know until just now Rubio was unanimous lol

From "The Good Place": He's got a point. The fair thing for us to do is just keep giving up more and stuff, unilaterally, until this demon is finally happy."
