But you who dream of liberty Must not yourselves be fooled Before you get to plea for freedom You’ve agreed to being ruled If the body stays a shackle Then the mind remains a chain That'll link you to a destiny Whereby all good souls are slain And it won’t take long… youtu.be/kyxNBSdDHKA?...

Happy birthday to the incomparable Jimmy Somerville. I miss 1992 when the best way to have an angel appear in the sky was to physically hoist him up on a crane. youtu.be/PHHkpE_I74k?...

Everyone - check out my friend’s amazing documentary when it comes to streaming on September 5. It’s a tough watch, so get yourself in a good place and be there for it because it is an excellent film, exquisitely shot by the late Gabriel Miller and expertly directed by the fearless Elisa Levine.

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users. While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

I just went on to FB and my blood pressure immediately went up. It’s partly my fault because I read the fucking comments. Jesus, what a toxic waste dump.

It just makes me feel better…

I was hoping to find video of his performance and deconstruction of Yankee Doodle Dandy, which is fascinating and brilliant, but this will suffice for now, because he is fascinating and brilliant. youtu.be/dtGYPM5QDBI?...

Tayler Mac makes me sob every time. In a good way, like when you finally hear a queer voice of passion and reason and urgency and it grounds you, if only for the moment it takes to take another step. youtu.be/joTwxlOEQVA?...

“Jim Jordan: you know it’s a good bill because the left hates it. Brian Tyler Cohen: what an odd goal for an elected official. Just writing bill solely because the other side will hate it. That would be like the democrats writing a bill imposing federal charges for sex trafficking”

I often cite the hirsute ginger park ranger who gave the tide pool slideshow/talk at Fort Stevens State Park as my first crush at age 10 or 11. But when I was 5 years old my father walked in on me kissing Bobby Sherman on the TV screen. The choker, chest and feathered hair held me spellbound.

When I can’t make the world go away, I go away to Teanaway. #teanaway #esmeraldabasin

More video soon from the No Kings rally in Seattle. But for now, attend this take (and if anyone knows who these lovely humans are, please let me know. I neglected to get their names. (BAD documentarian!) #NoKings

Feeling mad and cute. Might go peacefully protest for democracy and against the disease-addled, diaper-wearing dictator’s disgusting display. #NoKings

A belated mea culpa. And a glimmer of hope for a profound transformation.

This should be a required double bill for every U.S. citizen - especially those of us who have the luxury of taking that citizenship for granted.

BRAVO
