This story made my whole day.
A nice anecdote to cap the night. Today was an especially long day. As I got out of the car, a group of young black kids maybe 6-8 yrs were out playing. I let Willow out of my car & heard the little girl say: “A dog! Dogs are scary!” The little boy said “They’re ok. Thats Willow & The Professor”

No One Is “Transing the Gay Away.” That’s Not How Sexuality Works
Is society “transing the gay away”? A clear breakdown of why sexual orientation and gender identity are separate and not in competition.

In terms of what cures are being lost:
- Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis
- herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis

i use Eucerin as it has an SPF in it and also combats eczema.
Hi, have you applied moisturizer to your skin recently? Winter can lead to painful itching and cracking. I like Cetaphil moisturizing cream and Aquaphor, but @jamellebouie.net also recommended cocoa and shea butter.

Wow, look at that, you don't just have to roll over like a fucking coward
New York City leaders rehung the Pride flag in front of the Stonewall National Monument in a chaotic scene that included an American flag briefly being removed, a rebuke of the Trump administration’s efforts to remove the symbol from federal property.
