Today’s mood: Jam today #jamtoday #lewiscarroll #throughthelookingglass #whatalicefoundthere
B&W sketch of a woman sprawled out with her hand in a jar that is between her legs. The jar has a label with two cherries on it. She is licking a spoon in her other hand. In the upper left is a text reading: jam today.

And I look at this sketch and I wonder: What was I thinking? I have no idea, it remains a mystery.

Today’s mood: Fall, and not in a brightly colored leafy good way #vasedress #sketch #yikes
B&W sketch of a tiny woman who appears to be rolling off a table, her bell-like long dress, instead of showing her feet at the bottom, has flowers as if it were a vase. There is a key and a thimble on the table, and in the background an electrical outlet. A text at upper right reads: “vase dress”

Yeah, way too much dumb and bad. On the other hand, sometimes you’re a clue in the Sunday NYT crossword!

I guess I know what it sounds like, but is it really a word? Is it?!???

This one went down on my least-favorite list. When it’s a pangram that you wonder if it would even be accepted by the bee, it’s a bad one in my book. Plus two other words I’ve never read or heard used (guessed them by throwing letters together).

Really, that’s the pangram you’re going with #NYTBee? Plus that KE6? And two of the PU4s? Are these real words real people use? #spellingbee

I feel like most of the World Cup powerhouse countries would be stupid to allow their teams and staff to travel to the US as things stand right now.

Love this! I walk by just that spot (I’m pretty sure) a couple times a month, sometimes more…

The fact that the US is the only member of the UN that hasn’t ratified the Rights of the Child Convention tells you a lot about our so-called “family values”

Other favorite older gay books are E.M. Forster’s Maurice (the movie is also great) and Mary Renault’s historical gay fiction set in ancient Greece (Madeline Miller’s 2011 The Song of Achilles, also great, follows in Renault’s footsteps)

The first gay book I read was Rubyfruit Jungle, in 1975 when I was 14, a book my sister brought back from college (U of M Ann Arbor). It changed my life.
