Read This: "Hereβs What to Expect Next From Donald Trump, the First Indicted Ex-U.S. President" https://www.thedailybeast.com/what-to-expect-next-from-donald-trump-first-indicted-ex-us-president?via=ios
Two peoples' response to reporters asking intrusive personal questions that I've always loved:
Nathan Lane: I'm a single man in my (at the time) 40s who does musical theater. You do the math.
David Crane: I live my life as an open book. That doesn't mean I have to read it to you.
What a wonderful story Nathan Lane recently told about an old interview where Robin Williams saved him from being inadvertently outed by Oprah during an interview during their 'Birdcage' days.
As if you needed yet another reason to love Robin Williams. π

Got home from work to find this in the mail, wrapped and with a nice note of thanks from @skaly
βDonβt forget we are surrounded by prisons. We have fear and subservience in our DNA.β
Though set in #Russia, Queendom, a #documentary that recently premiered at the #SXSW film festival, should leave American viewersβespecially #LGBTQIA+ viewersβshaken. #Culture correspondent Lance Morrison brings us this provocative new review: https://www.texasobserver.org/queendom-queer-oppression-moscow-gena/

Every time I talk about the stress and fear trans people in red states are living under a queer person from a blue state pops up to tell me it's just as bad in blue states. It hit me today while driving that they think I'm talking about the fear of being queer bashed. They don't realize red states are outlawing trans existence?
My own thoughts, unsupported by anything but my own experience:
Holy books - all of them - are the ultimate Rorschach test. You see in them what you want to see. The people pushing this want to have an authoritarian, petty, spiteful, vengeful god, and they have one - it's supported by what they choose to read in their book. It's not supported by the parts they choose to skip over, but that's OK, because they're not reading those parts.
So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
