So I was 13 and having a major lightbulb moment behind the science portable at lunch, because I had always categorized the non-bully girls around me into “friends I can relax around” and “friends who make me a little nervous and also I want to smell them.”

I’d never heard of being queer. My family is super progressive and cool, queerness just somehow…had never come up in conversation?

My coming out story: when I was in eighth grade, a friend of mine told our Wiccan tween coven (yeah, this was around y2k, we were all way into The Craft) that she was bisexual.

I feel like you have two easy options: a whisper of vanilla (smooths & ties, doesn’t have to be the main character if you’re subtle with it) or a citrus peel (divides & highlights while acting as an aromatic bridge), either direction could be delightful!

If you’re in a position to deny ICE thugs service in your businesses, do it! Not one bottle of water, not one slice of pizza…and no restroom keys.

Make them feel the pain they’re inflicting on others.
