For Pride month I am posting photos and videos of the Queer Big Apple Corps band. At a time when our protections are being threatened, we must be out loud and proud. Here we are being just that in Queens on Sunday. youtu.be/OF7bmVlDRkY?...

Drumline at Metuchen Pride!

Today is our wedding anniversary. I felt the need to share. ❤️

So, let me get this straight: Marjorie Taylor Greene can heckle the president of the United States during the State of the Union address, but if someone heckles her at some stupid Town Hall with 150 people in attendance, they are tased (yes, tased) and arrested? Who the fuck are we?

Yankees win! One down, 161 to go!

Baseball! Let’s go Yankees! (Clap clap clapclapclap!)

Meanwhile, in the clergy group chat:

I would like to nominate Maxwell Smart for national security advisor.

This is our vacuum cleaner, or as Chester calls it “The Enemy.” He has bitten through the hose, and the many reapplications of tape that Lindsay has used in a futile attempt to save the suction. He bravely fights the enemy. But if I sneeze too loudly he runs and hides. That’s Chester!

In spite of congestion pricing, I do still need to drive in once or twice a week, and the lady in the map app always tells me that “traffic is heavier than usual on your route…” and since it’s always heavier, I want to know what “usual” is.

While we have been trying to avoid the companies of the billionaires, we do have a number of Alexa devices. And just now now one of them showed me a sausage expert judging sausage. And now I, too, want to be a sausage expert.

I guess the conductor was tired of how loud the quiet car usually is…

St. Pat’s in America. The day before and the day after!

This is very true.

Come on down to the White House Tesla Auto Mall!

The Trump Gang just had the USDA cancel $1.1B in local food purchases for schools and food banks. Farmers lose $, and food insecure children lose meals. Tell me, please, how this makes us great. It doesn’t. It makes us horrible and heartless.

When Rep. Sarah McBride of Delaware was misgendered during a hearing, she shot back by calling him “Madam Chair.” And while I appreciate Rep. Keating’s interruption demanding that Rep. Self correct it, I would have liked to see the reaction to the “Madam Chair” comment. Bc fuck that guy.

The latest in the mandate that federal workers must return to the office: many of the office leases have not been renewed by order of the department of government not exactly efficient. What a shit show we have become as a nation.

Drumline at today’s St. Pat’s for All parade in Sunnyside, Queens, New York. Where diversity, equality and inclusion are good things.

I’m not buying anything but I don’t know if it will actually make a difference at all. But I’ll do it!

Heartbreaking. And scary. Fuck these people.

The FDA cancelled an upcoming meeting of experts scheduled to discuss next year’s flu shots, stoking fears among scientists who worry that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will use his position as health secretary to sow doubts about vaccines.

Breaking News: Gene Hackman, the two-time Oscar winner who gave nuanced performances in films like “The French Connection” and “Unforgiven,” died at 95. nyti.ms/4h8iyJa

Time to cancel your Washington Post subscription if you haven’t already. I did last month. Now I need to break loose from Amazon, a far harder endeavor.

We have vaccines for a reason. This child should not have died. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/26/u...

Let’s count the days before we see Medicaid and Medicare slashed. So happy for the tax cuts for the 2%.

It's been a crazy week – and Donald Trump is trying to silence journalists who stand up to him. It’s working. Here's the most important thing you missed: youtu.be/4Ch2t4ffc0o?...

This is Saffy. She’s helping me work from home today. She helps me to not think about the dumpster fire that our nation is becoming. Sigh.

I’ve been told my annual Facebook announcement was missed since I am no longer on that platform. So by special request, Happy Half Price Candy in a Heart Shaped Box Day! (And yes, we did in fact buy some…)

Fully erasing the people who led the fight. There is no Stonewall without trans people. cc: @daveweigel.bsky.social

I reported an inaccuracy to Google today - I told them they had the wrong name for the Gulf of Mexico. Seems silly to do that but it was strangely satisfying. I recommend it.

In other news…Yankees pitchers and catchers reported today! Baseball is coming soon!

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty.

Hey people who didn’t vote for Harris, or who didn’t vote at all, because of her statements on Israel and Gaza…what say you now that he wants to drive Gazans out completely and make it a vacation destination? Yeah. Sure. This is way better…

Here’s Pepper, relaxing on the back of the toilet…

W. T. A. F.

This is Petey. Intense. Wants a walk. Wants it now.

Lindsay and I are renaming our pool as “Gulf of L+L.” We’ve contacted Google to have it changed on their maps, because it currently reads…well, nothing. Making My Yard Great Again. @closeddiscotheque.bsky.social

Here is Caroline Kennedy absolutely coming for RFK Jr, a "predator" whose behavior, she says, would leave both her father and his "disgusted." www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLLx...

Attention: Yankees pitchers and catchers report in 15 days. That is all.

This. youtu.be/TgNVLr54G6E?...

Fly, Eagles, Fly!! @philadelphiaeagles.bsky.social

I know we’re in a deep freeze, but the iced brown sugar oat milk shaken espresso at Starbucks is crazy delicious. Also, I am now cold. But sugared up and caffeinated. That is all.

Remember summer? Yeah, that was nice.

Reason # - many - to cut down on socials: I have had this weird pain in my hand below my pinky. When googling my symptoms I realized I rest the phone on my pinky. Sure enough, there’s a thing called “smartphone pinky.” Damn. I need a smaller phone. Or bigger hands.

@closeddiscotheque.bsky.social that profile pic, tho…

Fly, Eagles, Fly!!
