I've never read Lolita. I don't need to. I've been a girl/teen.

In-between dog and plant photos your semi regular reminder that I'm also a very angry queer leftie.
So if human rights seem negotiable to you, fuck off.

Fuck yes.
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

After almost 2 years my feet are finally healed up and I can run again.
I'm weirdly* joyful about this because I really missed it.
* I'm a terrible runner. Very slow and plodding

Not a regular summer. Everything growing like crazy.

No Fudge. You can't come sit on my lap.

It's our wedding anniversary today. 30 years married (33 years shacked up).
Weird to think that our relationship is almost middle aged. It's probably having an existential crisis and considering a radical haircut 🤣

Only 2 weeks of summer papers left for me!
I've loved one, liked one and loathed one.
But they meant I could borrow living costs over summer, so yay!

Anyone else suddenly feel the need to only post erections?
No?
Only me?

Love it. There's so many ways to protest.
You don’t know your role yet maybe, but we are all finding out just what we have to offer.

In Minneapolis, one man knew immediately what he could offer and said “Bring me your clothing”.
