Just your typical neurospicy gay atheist in chronic pain, with immigrant family of all statuses - I teach math, write, make music and films, but I don’t usually call myself a mathematician, writer, musician, or filmmaker. Thanks, imposter syndrome!

If you can handle a story about being a gay kid in the eighties in a place and time where being gay was simply NOT an option, this might be for you. It’s not for everyone. Based almost entirely on true events. If Florida knew it existed, they’d surely ban it. a.co/d/h3sfdBd

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.

Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.

This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

In case you missed this before. This is heartbreaking, and it SHOULD make some folks learn a lesson, but I fear the wrong one will be learned. I can hear in my head some MAGAs saying “good!” If that’s you, I beg you to fuck all the way off.

Holy shit. The situation in Sudan, broadly outlined in here, is absolutely insane.

Meanwhile, the very idea that Christians are being persecuted in the US is absolutely laughable. If you believe that, WTF is wrong with you?
