One thing I've learned from a life of dipping in & out of "Society" is that when someone describes another person as a "dear friend," that's a lie about 85% of the time.

Burned into my memory. I was in grad school in Moscow, ID & writing for a now-defunct queer youth website. We all knew the kind of hatred Matthew Shepard faced.

Mrs. Betty Bowers @mrsbettybowers.bsky.social · 2d

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

Diane Keaton, R.I.P.
The woman who inspired a timeless fashion trend in the '70s & acted the heck out of some important films across decades & had one of the most infectious laughs & got my parents to say la-dee-da far too often
